Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3000 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Kit 16GB (8GBx2) CL15 BLS2K8G4D30AESBK (Gray)

I build PC systems, and have installed over 100 of these modules. I had 1 set fail back in Feb 2022. I sent it back for a replacement in May 2022. Crucial acknowledged it received and promised a replacement will be sent out shortly. After 4 times of contact, each time I was told a replacement will be sent out the next week. Its middle July 2022, and still no replacement. Each time i call they continue to lie. I cannot recommend this company if you are unlucky enough to have a memory failure and expect tge. To standby the so called lifetime warranty.Update: After I published this review, I received notice that the replacements modules have been sent. I received them within 4 days! Since they gave me an upgrade from 8 to 16GB, I appreciate that, and have changed my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.

Product: Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 3200 MT/s (PC4-25600) CL16 SR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Memory - BLS2K8G4D32AESEK (Red)TLDR:* Pros:(+) Very overclockable.(+) Heat sink correctly attached to memory chips (unlike G.Skill's Ripjaws V).(+) Excellent price point.* Cons:(-) None yet -- I've used them for only a couple of days.Long review:As you can see from the attached image, my mobo is an MSI X470 Gaming Plus (with the latest BIOS A.90 at the time of this writing) running a Ryzen 7 2700X. My CPU cooler is a huge Noctua DH-15 that covers the memory modules, meaning that there is not a lot of airflow for the DIMMs.Just for fun (and also burn-in purposes), I went into the overclock section of the BIOS, activated XMP, and cranked the speed up to DDR-3466 without changing the timing that was intended for the DDR-3200 setting (16-18-18-36) or any voltage increase!!! I ran MemTest for 29+ hours without a hiccup (see screenshot)! Cinebench R15 scored only 20ish points higher over DDR-3200, so it is not worth it for me personally to overclock the RAM because this is not a gaming rig and stability for my purposes is more important. Your mileage may vary, of course. But this test is a good indication of the quality of this RAM! I did not proceed with any further overclocking attempts because I needed my computer for work. ;)I also like the good contact area of the thermal interface material (TIM) to the heat shink and chips which was a big annoyance for me when I used G.Skill's Ripjaws V RAMs with their fancy heat sink design: there were air gaps between the TIM and some chips, so cooling was highly compromised. I had to use extra thermal compound (MX-4) to bridge the gaps, but not on these puppies.Bottom line: I highly recommend these Ballistix RAMs and only time will tell how well they will hold up! For now, 5 stars!

Excelente RAM, ya llevo con ella mas de 2 años y no ha fallado ni la primera vez, excelente calidad, muy bonita y low profile, por lo que su tamaño es ideal si tienes disipadores grandes

I had no idea that memory speed mattered for Ryzen CPUs when I bought this kit so when buying RAM do note whether you're using an AMD CPU or Intel. I was a foolish 19 year old at the time but you live and you learn I guess. I'm still currently using this kit and to be honest I don't notice any performance issues, but I might get faster memory some day :)

Despite knowing that sometimes Amazon Warehouse Deals can be returned items that might not be in the best condition (or even a different item that was maliciously returned by a customer that swapped in an old item into the original product box) I was skeptical about buying the "used" Warehouse Deal version of this ram stick, even though it was a lot cheaper than buying it new.To my pleasant surprise, not only did I get the right product, but it was in great condition. The packaging was a little damaged (especially the two nubs that seal the plastic package) but the ram itself was pristine. It looked exactly like the other one I bought new. If there was cosmetic damage on the product itself, I couldn't see it, and since it's just going inside my case and will stay there, it wouldn't matter much even if there was a scratch or two.It's in my case and running now in dual channel configuration with my other stick of ram, and the performance is quite good. I just have it on XMP Profile 1, which gives it a CAS Latency of 16, which is reasonably good, especially for this price and speed.Note that I'm using an Intel i5-9400F, which is less ram speed sensitive than an AMD Ryzen CPU, which requires 3000 to 3200 mhz (or higher, but 3000 to 3200 is the sweet spot) in a dual channel configuration to reach its potential. 2666 is the maximum speed that a B360 motherboard supports with my CPU, so that's what I got.This is the first time I've bought and used Crucial memory (knowingly at least, I'm sure they supply ram to at least some OEM's) but it's quite good. They're definitely a brand name worth considering, like Kingston or Corsair.

Leider (trotz meiner vorherigen Recherche im Netz) Inkompatibel zu Alienware Aurora R7 (Intel I7 8700K),Es gab immer wieder Blue-Screens und nach dem ich die Original HyperX Black Fury 16GB wieder verbaut hatte waren die Probleme wieder verschwunden. Also klar das Problem des Ballistix Speicherriegel-Sets. Übrigens hat die Überprüfung des Speichers via Windows 10 RAM Test Tools keine Fehler gefunden.>>Das Test-Tool Windows-Speicherdiagnose starten Sie, indem Sie „mdsched“ in die Suchleiste von Windows 10 eingeben und auf das Suchergebnis klicken. Für einen Speichertest muss Windows neu starten: Sie können ihn sofort durchführen oder wenn Sie das System das nächste Mal neu starten. <<Ich hoffe ich kann anderen Usern mit meinem Beitrag helfen die Inkompatiblität VOR DEM KAUF aufzudecken.Der Ballistix Sport LT Speicher ist ansonsten sicherlich einer der für andere Systeme durch die technischen Werte zu empfehlen ist, konnte jedoch nicht ausreichend testen da bei mir immer wieder Blue-Screens kamen.

Bonjour, petit retour de ma part, et réponse aussi a la personne qui ne comprenais pas l'utilité d'avoir une **belle ram**Déjà performances, pour ma part j'ai la version 2666 monté sur un ryzen 5 2600, reconnue de suite, c'est aussi pour moi le composant le plus simple a monter (on éteint le pc, on clipse la ram et c est parti)Super perf, vu le prix j'en ai même racheter une 2 eme ! 16 go en tous je suis tranquille !====>Pour l'aspect esthétique .😄😄😄😄😄Ce genre de ram est évidement prévu pour du client qui personnalise sont PC, orienté gaming, généralement les boitier PC ont une vitre ou un plexiglass afin de laisser voir les composants montés.Cela permet de sublimer une belle config, et le fabricant l'a bien compris.Pour ceux qui n'ont pas ce genre de vitre, en effet avoir une belle ram est inutile, mais personnellement vu le rapport qualité/prix/marque j'ai vite fait mon choix.En espérant avoir été utile merci de me le faire savoir, n’hésitez pas a me poser des questions.

This ram works totally stable with stated speeds by selecting xmp profile 1 in pc bios. On YouTube you can find a video on how to overclock. I tested on five boards 3 gigerbytes b350 x370 and b450 an asrock b450 and a MSI b450 all work as described.i was lucky an got two packs of 8gb X 2 kits at £51 on a flash sale. The only negative was the packaging I felt that the product packaging provided little protection for shipping, however all 4 sticks were working and no damages. This ram is a lower profile design so whatever aftermarket CPU cooler you have you won't have any issues with clearance.

✅ Ho comprato già quattro volte questo kit da 16GB (2x8GB) di Micron per varie configurazioni basate su cpu Ryzen (2200G e 3600), tutte perfettamente funzionanti e capaci di essere spinte a frequenze superiori, per la precisione 3533MHz con CAS16 e sul web vari utenti hanno raggiunto i 3900MHz.👍 Di serie rilevate con profilo Jedec a 2400Mhz, le ho usate in modalità XMP-3000 sulle seguenti schede madri senza alcun problema:► Gigabyte Aorus B450 Elite► Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite► Asus TUF B450-Pro Gaming► Asus PRIME B450M-A✌ Vi allego anche lo screen della configurazione dei timings che uso attualmente a 3533MHz, valori "RECommended".

I have a basic Acer Aspire X-885 core i5 mini tower PC that I use in my gym for Zwift. It had a single stick of Adata 8Gb of RAM from factory, and Zwift specs suggest that should be sufficient. I added an upgraded NVIDIA 1050Ti low profile graphics card And a Samsung 970Evo SATA SSD and was still only getting an average of 25fps in Ultra mode.Initially I wondered if it was weak wifi, but after checking that by switching to Ethernet I was left scratching my head with the same issue.As a last gasp attempt before upgrading the desktop I thought I’d whack 2x8Gb of the red Ballistix ram into the unit to up the ram from 8 to 16Gb. According to Zwift it shouldn’t make a blind bit of difference, but here’s what I found:1) FPS increased from max of 25fps to 34fps2) occasionally surging video became much smoother and more linearI chose RAM of equivalent speed (2666MHz), so only the total ram has changed. Whether two sims works better than a single?One tip, I fitted the RAM and on first boot I only saw 8Gb, not 16Gb. Despite pushing the RAM in until it clicked into place, it had seated well by the clip side, but I found on one stick it hadn’t seated flush on the other side. A quick push down on both sides and it sorted the issue. The PC recognised the RAM immediately, but I ran a quick RAM check in Windows (type Windows memory diagnostic tool into the search bar in Win10), and it got a clean bill of health.So overall I would rate this RAM, was nicely built, well presented and has made a qualified improvement in performance for even a basic online gaming service.
