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

Product Information

support for automatic overclocking, Crucial Ballistix memory is engineered for the latest AMD and Intel platforms.

The operating frequency was held at the XMP 3600 MHz, but the primary timings were decreased as far as possible while still maintaining relative stability. While Crucial may not be one of the biggest names in DDR4 today, they are no less influential or important.This would be nice to have here as some older systems may find DDR4-3600 a little aggressive, though the latest platforms should all be totally fine. Some storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. This isn’t a hard and fast rule – there was a time when Ballistix Elite 4GB DDR4-3000 and 8GB DDR4-3466 sticks were available with Samsung chips. The Ballistix RGB DDR4-3600 2x8GB kit comes in a simple cardboard box with a window through to the modules. Even though these variables are somewhat out of our control, they play a huge role in the overall performance and benchmark scoring.

For the first test case only, the operating frequency was increased with no other settings adjusted. Inappropriate use of a heat sink, or lack of heat-dissipation mechanism, may cause problems with the P5 Plus and/or PlayStation 5. The Crucial Ballistix Gaming Memory DDR4-3600 32GB comes as a kit of two 16GB modules with a low profile form factor.Their mission is a concept that we take for granted today, but it was a revolutionary idea for the time period. This RAM kit is a great choice for any gamer and for anyone who wants to build a very powerful computer. In practice we’re not aware of this model using anything other than Micron’s 8Gbit revision E (“E-die”). If you’re building a new DDR5 rig or want more performance out of an older one, Crucial is here to help. It’s not easy to spot, but a sharp eye will see that this memory utilizes the modern A2 style PCB layout.

Some texturing of the heatspreader adds surface area, and the height isn’t far above that of a standard DIMM. But out of curiosity, I decided to try switching the RAM in different slots--not because of the quote, but I felt like I'd heard something about some boards prefering certain slots for a two-stick configuration over the others.While it’s not within the scope of this memory review to dive deeper into the Ryzen 3 memory structure, just keep in mind that those variables are there. The kit comes in a minimalist package with all of the main information printed on the front which is easy to acknowledge. uk/images/product_images/main/217/crucial-ballistix-rgb-black-ddr4-3600-cl16-32-gb-dual-kit-mecc-268-73603-1.

For high-end computer builders and enthusaiasts, Samsung B-Die has remained the undisputed champion in recent years.

Lowest is more sensitive and favours the more expensive 3600c14 kit at XMP, but overclocking hands Crucial another win. First, we lock in the tRC specified in the XMP profile, which is usually tighter than what our X570 Taichi sets on its own.
