Review on πŸ’» Crucial Desktop Memory CT2K102464BD160B - 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 RAM by Delos Montano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

For games, check the voltage. otherwise great!

Had to return this package. But only because of a slight incompatibility with the available RAM on my old machine. I used Crucial's website crawler and this was the recommendation. RAM loads but causes freezes and crashes. After some research I found out that the RAM I installed (Balistix Gaming RAM by Crucial) uses 1.5V. This pack uses the more typical 1.35V. The Crucial site crawler does not check for this. In itself, 2 flash drives work without problems! I'm sure it will work for games too. It just isn't made specifically for gaming like Crucial's Balistix line. This memory is ideal for most DDR3 applications. I just wanted to warn people to carefully check your existing memory for compatibility. If they are built into a blank (compatible) motherboard? They should be fine and this works great!

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Thin
