All four RAM kits are a great addition to any rig. Your choice, unless you're going for the Elite, should be tailored by the kind of motherboard and case you're running. If you're looking for a nice upgrade to some ageing DIMMs then look no further...
Of the three kits tested, the 4GB Crucial Ballistix proved to be the victor in terms of performance across the board. Whilst the 3Dmark Vantage scores were a close fought battle, the Ballistix had a clear advantage for the read, write and copy speeds....
Crucial's rep for reliability, Competitively priced for a 6GB kit
Not exactly over-specced, Limited overclocking capacity
Crucial is the IBM of memory makers. It's the brand you buy when you can't afford to make a mistake. Use Crucial's online system configuration tool, therefore, and compatibility is virtually confirmed. Of course, mere compatibility is hardly the stuff ...
Attractive Heatsink, Overclocks quite well at stock timings (88824), Is stable at 1520mhz with tighter timings (77720 – results may vary), First on the market to include a builtin temperature probe
Won’t overclock past 1820mhz (is that a con with 1600mhz ram?)
Crucial is yet again breaking the norm – in this instance by including a temperature probe on the dimms PCBs themselves. However, whilst these dimms are clearly aimed at enthustiasts/overclockers, disappointingly I couldn’t get these dimms past 1800mhz...
Abstract: How to differentiate the very essence of homogeneityStating the somewhat obvious, system memory is an integral part of any computer. Everyone needs it and many a manufacturer has tried its hand at producing the very best modules. The generic nature o...
High voltage requirement to run at stock speed, Limited overclocking potential
Crucial's Ballistix range of high performance DDR3 memory modules are well known amongst the overclocking fraternity offering faster clock speeds and lower latencies and in some instances fancy LED displays, than the standard Crucial product range. The...
looking effective heat spreaders, Innovative temperature monitoring, Decent overclocking, despite not being optimised for AMD CPUs, Crucial's excellent customer support, Lifetime warranty.
Possible height compatibility issues with larger coolers.
At the time of writing this review, this kit isn't yet available to buy, it should be released in the next week or so. and is set to retail at around £119 on Crucial's on-line store. That puts it about £2 more than the low profile 4GB Ballistix kit an...
Decent stock speed performance, Comes with the Crucial limited lifetime warranty, Looks good.
I couldn’t get it to over clock past 220FSB.
The Crucial Ballistix 2x 1GB 1600Mhz kit is decent enough but I felt it lacked a little on the overclocking front. I know it’s only “rated” at DDR1600 but I was hoping for a little more than 1760Mhz due to the Ballistix reputation, 1800M...
Although DDR3 RAM is not popular, mainly because of the high street prices, the Crucial Ballistix PC3-12800 DDR-3 kit is certainly worthy of consideration if you are shopping for a DDR-3 system. It is a very fast DDR-3 set which can also withstand wor...
