Review on Crucial Ballistix RGB 3200 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Gaming Memory 8GB CL16 BL8G32C16U4RL (Red) by Adam Gray

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Crucial mod software HORRIBLE

Look, these are great sticks of RAM. They look great, the RGB colors are fantastic and the overall build quality feels solid. However, the amount of issues encountered when attempting to set up RGB using Crucial's own RGB software makes me advise against anyone reading this review and considering buying it and matching RGB RAM with viable software. . First off, the Crucial software on their own website didn't even work on my computer. After some digging I found another page on their own website with a download of what appeared to be the same software, but after downloading I found that they had an additional exe that fixed my problems. Why Crucial do you have two downloads with different files in them? The program now recognizes my RAM but won't let me change it from the default rainbow pattern. I can't even turn them off. Bummer.tldr: Buy RAM from another manufacturer. RGB key software is a headache.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
