Enhance Gaming Performance with Crucial Ballistix Elite 3600 MHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Memory Kit 16GB (8GBx2) CL16 BLE2K8G4D36BEEAK Review

Pro: Great kit with high overclocking potential! Timings for xmp on Ryzen and those dimmers aren't easy to pull up. Either you really need to know what you're doing and I don't. Trial and error takes too long. I finally found an extreme timing chart for a person who overclocked it to 3800 and I left it at 3600 and increased the voltage to 1.45. I have 2700x so can't get more than 3600 on a set of dimmers for me, but I maxed it out in my motherboard bios, 4200 on a single dimmer. So! Cons: I've…

Bought for $105 on peak days. Micron E-Die running the XMP profile with a Ryzen 5 3600 processor on a b450 motherboard with no issues. Got some good shots of C15 3000 RAM. Don't plan on stretching out the timings for a few meager frames right now, it's ready to go for those who want to hit 3600 rams and be done with it.

Easy installation. Just connect to your installation, switch to DOCP profile, reboot and bam. 3600MHz as advertised. If for some reason you don't want to use the DOCP profile, the default 3200MHz is still pretty decent. In terms of physical quality, these sticks have weight due to well-done heat dissipation. Nice black metal. I was surprised to see that these sticks have such a weighted heat spreader, which is nice. Getting back to the technical stuff, these sticks are very stable and if you…

Paired with the MSI X570 MEG ACE motherboard, the numbers are out of the box with no adjustment required. Adjusted timings are also very forgiving, with temperatures averaging 36 degrees Celsius even when overclocked. However, latency is average and RGB is absent. Worth the price as I haven't had any issues yet. (picture included)

They deliver exactly what they promised. Runs at rated speed (even on X370 with Ryzen) and can overclock MUCH faster than rated speed and with shorter timings. Mine can reach 3600MHz CL14 or 4000MHz CL16. They are cool. Just wanted to warn you, you won't see any improvement above 3200MHz. I came from 3200MHz CL16 and the difference is negligible. It's not this RAM's fault that the speed they run at isn't much better than 3200MHz which is why they get 5 stars. Could I give an overview of 3600MHz

The first assembly loaded perfectly. Set xmp profile 1 in bios and read timings 16-18-18-18-48 ddr @ 3600. Finger tight to 16-17-17-42 @ 1.35 volts. The PC has been running stable for a few weeks now and has played through many hours of gaming without any problems. I wouldn't hesitate to buy AMD Ryzen.
