The Crucial BallistiX Sport 16GB DDR3-1600 CL9 kit is certainly a good buy, and right now it's one of the cheapest 16GB DDR3-1600 CL9 kits in our price comparer. The modules run great on their standard settings, and once you go beyond the CL8 timing, th...

Low latency and voltage, Can be overclocked to stable 2,133 Mhz, No more clashes with the heatsink
Abstract: Crucial sent us three memory kits to test. The Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP 8GB DDR3L-1600 CL9 kit stands out with its efficiency and limited height of the modules. The Crucial BallistiX Tactical 8GB DDR3-1866 CL9 kit is aimed at overclockers that want a...
Looking first at the build quality and design of the Ballistix Sport VLP modules we have the usual high standard from Crucial. A black PCB would look a little nicer but as always we get some of their highly reliable, very compatible chips on the sticks. A...

Using geizhals as our price research tool, we find that offers for 2x8GB sets of 1600C9 Ballistix Sport VLP start at 69 Euros excluding shipping across the EU Taking a look at similarly clocked kits from other manufacturers shows us that from 27 kits they...
Because very low profile modules aren’t very common in the high-end market, there aren’t many comparable products out there. A generic DDR3-1600 16GB kit costs about €60.-, but at €75.- the Ballistix Sport VLP are very reasonably priced. If you’re loo...
Decent overclocking capabilities, Great performance without using its XMP profile, Low height ensures maximum compatibility in space-restricted cases, Low 1.35 V operating voltage, XMP Support for 4th Gen Intel Core CPUs and Z87-based motherboards as well
Green PCB, Overclocking on SKT 1150 doesn't produce noticeable performance increases, Low 1600 MHz speed means this kit is better for Intel-based systems (AMD systems use 1866 or 2133 MHz by default)
The 16 GB (2x 8GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP kit is available for $159.99 in the US or €149.90 in the EU region. Decent overclocking capabilities Great performance without using its XMP profile Low height ensures maximum compatibility in space-restricte...
Abstract: I started writing about DDR3 memory modules in May 2007 before the supporting motherboards came out, so it takes quite a bit to get me excited about memory after writing about it for nearly six years of doing so. In fact, buying a memory kit is one of the...
It is clear that Crucial's Ballistix Low-Profile line can compete with the best out there. Both the Sport VLP and Tactical LP kits showed their capability in every benchmark. Even though the Tactical LP's performed better than the Sport VLP's, they were ...
