Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G36C16U4W 3600 MHz, DDR4, DRAM, Desktop Gaming Memory Kit, 16GB (8GB x2), CL16, White

Product Information

Second, we set tRRD_S 4, tRRD_L 6 and tFAW 20 – if needed we could loosen these, but it hasn’t been needed yet. Produced by FinalWire Ltd, AIDA64 is a system information and diagnostic suite with an extremely wide range of features. The box is no bigger than it needs to be, and contains a plastic protective clamshell within which are the sticks themselves. The Crucial P5 Plus meets the performance and form factor requirements for Sony PS5™ when used with a heatsink. The heat sink design turned out to be somewhat superficial, but as our results clearly showed, overclocking was not hindered by the cooling method.

Because with the Ballistix RGB RAM modules, Crucial offers high-performance DDR4 memory with black heat spreaders including digitally addressable RGB LED lighting. Crucial created the Ballistix Elite to work flawlessly with both AMD Ryzen 3000 series and Intel Platforms, The memory uses XMP 2. AIDA64 scores wouldn’t be complete without the screenshots people love to use to compare results – here are all three, for JEDEC, XMP and our manual overclock. AMD introduced serious changes to the memory capabilities and overclocking of the new X570 series chipset.

I’ve never had an issue with RAM on an Intel system and their QVLs are huge compared to the tiny 3 page list of myAMD’s B550 board. Crucial Technology is a brand name that was created under the Micron Technology umbrella back in 1996.

We push the DRAM frequency and FCLK Frequency up maintaining a 1:1 ratio so as to not bottleneck the AMD Infinity Fabric and introduce latency with the RAM at the rated voltage, and timings of XMP/D. Crucial offers the Ballistix Elite at two different speeds, with a total of 6 different module configurations. Too bad we couldn’t test the OC capability but we will have another go at that and revise the review accordingly when we upgrade to a 3rd gen CPU. ASUS started the year 2024 by launching a versatile travel router with an interesting list of features, some of which are surprisingly advanced. drives installed in the PlayStation® 5 should be used with a heat-dissipation mechanism, such as a heat sink or heat transfer sheet.As we might have expected, our all-out frequency profile proved to be the worst in terms of overall performance.

The new products include Predator DDR4 RGB and Fury DDR4 RGB kits up to 256GB and speeds up to 4600 MHz. While it might not be the most elaborate packaging we have seen, it does strike a nice balance between form and function.Crucial ® Ballistix ® gaming memory is designed for high-performance overclocking and is ideal for gamers and performance enthusiasts looking to push beyond standard limits. Micron proved to be a contender in the performance memory market with excellent overclocking headroom and extremely competitive out-of-box performance. The somewhat superficial cooling leads us to an early conclusion that the ICs themselves don’t produce enough heat to warrant actual cooling. The Crucial Ballistix and Crucial Ballistix MAX lines feature high-quality Micron die and dynamic heat spreaders for maximum performance.

Whereas an SK Hynix OEM stick uses combined passive components, Crucial use discretes for their DDR4-3600 sticks. The modules themselves are matte black with white text, providing a neutral look – red and white colours are also available. Peeking under the heatspreader, we can see the memory chips arranged in two tight clusters of four chips each.With very high XMP ratings and moderately tight timings, it promises to be a contender in this space.
