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

Product Information

We are installing our RAM into an ASUS TUF GAMING X570-Plus Wi-Fi motherboard with a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU.

Ryzen 7 3700X | ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus Wi-Fi | 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 3800MHz (CL16) | EVGA GTX 1070 SC | WD_BLACK SN770 500GB NVMe | Corsair RM 650w | ASUS Xonar AE 7. This Crucial Ballistix RGB kit, however, shows no lines whatsoever at any shutter speed our camera is capable of – even 1/6000th of a second.

Crucial offer an even cheaper non-RGB version, and right now if I was building myself a system from new parts that’s the kit I’d pick. When compared to all of the other kits that we had, since the Crucial kit had the best of everything regarding capacity, frequency and timings, of course they took the first spot in all of the synthetic benchmarks and 3D tests. And resetting the bios was what I've already done before most-anything else on this thread to no avail.

We ran the built-in benchmark at both 800×600 Lowest, which is entirely CPU/memory bound, and 1080p Medium for a more realistic test. The closest thing is an FAQ article that you’d only find by already knowing you were looking for XMP.It works fine under normal usage, but unfortunately I'm not able to achieve full rated XMP, as setting it to 3600 causes memory training to fail and reset to safe mode. From a top side view, they look very industrial and mechanical like, with the ‘Ballistix’ branding smack in the middle. Crucial Pro Series memory offers extreme performance without the fuss of overclocking speeds, tuning latency, die chasing or LEDs.

Michael Thomas ballistix-rgb-ddr4-3600-2x8gb-review-crucial-competitive Crucial Ballistix RGB DDR4-3600 gets a hearty recommendation. Micron proved to be a contender in the performance memory market with excellent overclocking headroom and extremely competitive out-of-box performance.

The Ballistix modules still get Crucial’s custom heatsink spreader, and there are multiple colors available. Unfortunately, no change; can't go any higher than 3266mhz without failing (and this is even with restart count set to 10). F1 2019 is a well optimised DirectX 12 game that runs well even on an Athlon 3000G, and has a built-in benchmark. It has a dark blue background and a fairly large transparent cutout on the front side, through which you get to see what the memory modules look like. The more realistic 1080p settings show another outright draw, as long as you remember to enable XMP.

Strong 16-18-18 primary timings at DDR4-3600 make this kit especially interesting, as does the tight vertical integration – Crucial are the in-house memory brand for chipmaker Micron. All of the memory compared here has been tested on the same exact X570 test bench and with the same exact operating system. It seems like F1 2019 might bump into a bottleneck elsewhere around 280 FPS in our setup, with the 1080p Ultra High settings we’re using.Peeking under the heatspreader, we can see the memory chips arranged in two tight clusters of four chips each.
