Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3000 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory Single 8GB CL15 BLS8G4D30AESEK (Red)

I purchased this to use with my mining rig and it works flawlessly. No complaints at all.

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!

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.

I got the 4x16gb 3200c16 kit for about $312. Mainly got it for workstation use with some gaming.I could not find this memory kit on the Asus Maximus XI hero qvl, but it is compatible. The height is standard so there isn't much issue with air cooler compatibility. However, I have the lian li xl and tried to fit a 140mm fan above the ram, and it is really really close to not being able to fit.It keeps up with the machine learning workloads I run. I keep all the images stored in memory. Training VGG19 with 3462 512x512x3 images on 2080ti. 44 seconds per epoch with a batch size of 10(just to stress test the memory). Increasing batch size has no effect on the training time, so the ram isn't much of a factor.As for gaming, I run red dead redemption 2 on ultra at 3440x1440(ultrawide). 77 avg fps. I got to 79 fps when I overclocked the ram.My overclock with higher frequencies didn't work out that much. It would post but I would get memtest errors at 16-18-18-36 3600mhz at 1.38v. I didn't want to push the voltage that much even though the memory could probably handle it. I instead stayed at 3200mhz and tightened the timings to 14-16-16-34 at 1.36v. It is stable, but I should try to lower voltage to 1.35v. Comparable 64gb kits at 3200c14 I could find were all g.skill ones all above $600. Getting similar performance with a kit that costs half is definitely a win.

Very good ram, used it for a long time, perfect for a budget system.

It's cheap and fast

Faccio questa recensione dopo quasi 4 anni di utilizzo e devo dire che sono ancora perfette, non mi hanno mai deluso. Unico componente del PC che non ho mai sostituito.

Buena calidad precio.El que entienda de componentes sabe la calidad de estos modulos de ram.

prese nel black friday, straordinariamente era possibile acquistarne solo 1 pezzo (32GB) ma me ne servivano 2: ergo ho acquistato il secondo dal mio account statunitense di vecchissima data.A 137 euro (x 2) era probabilmente il miglior acquisto possibile per un sistema che, a dire il vero, nasceva con l'intento di sfruttare al meglio un i9 9900k e una scheda grafica Nvidia Quadro.Le RAM si comportano benissimo, al momento con due HDD WD Blue vecchio tipo da 500GB, motherboard MSI di fascia alta.Il motivo era il monitor abbinato: Benq 32" 4k: ho visto Cinebench terminare il test multicore in meno di dieci secondi. Non c'è overclock (non mi interessa, per ora, in multicore non c'è nulla che sfrutti un sistema del genere e non sono un gamer: non gioco da vent'anni)I test grafici hanno confermato le mie impressioni: ossia la scalabilità e velocità di queste RAM che, oltretutto, non sembrano soffrire minimamente il riscaldamento.Ergo, qualora si trovassero allo stesso prezzo, sono consigliate a chi volesse metter su una workstation seria, e, ovviamente, silenziosa: la realtà dei fatti ci dice che un PC da lavoro deve fare meno rumore della tastiera e del mouse, e non più.Un eccellente dissipatore passivo Noctua, otterrà tale risultato.In futuro conto di abbinare al tutto un HDD SLC (se riesco a trovarlo, il Fujitsu FSXtreme da 240GB sarebbe l'ideale...)ora, chi mi legge potrebbe pensare: ma metti schede video e ssd di cinque anni fa?Si.Perchè gli HDD attuali non valgono gli Intel 310 series MLC, ne uso uno da SEI anni circa, da 120GB per seven (ma ne ho incredibimente trovati due su Amazon, nuovi, da 480GB, in attesa arrivino) figurarsi un SLC vero: le tecnologie come QLC, TLC e similari, sono "prese per il cappello" (non credo di potermi esprimere in maniera più diretta di così, qui) e le idee di abbinare simili cosi a un 660 Intel, significa che il marketing lavora bene: bastaPotrei mettere test e vari, ma, scusate la franchezza, lascerebbero il tempo che trovano: la Rete ne è piena. I sistemi lavorano al di sopra delle nostre necessità per un paio d'anni dall'acquisto, al netto dell'esecrabile Windows 10 (l'unica versione appena passabile e paragonabile a un Windows 7 Ultimate è la LTSC, per il resto è uno spyware mascherato sa OS)ergo: se solo Microsoft sfornasse un OS degno di essere chiamato tale... o Apple permettesse di installare OSX purtroppo... non si può e basta.Quindi: ram eccezionali. Ma l'epoca è questa
