Very good budget ram, 4200mhz with loose timings.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020

Capacity: STANDARD: 16GB (8GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3200 MHzColor: BLACKVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Ballistix has always been pretty good ram, I got this all the way to 4200mhz 18-20-22-20, but I was having problems with my infinity fabric wanting to underclock, so I set it back to 3600mhz to get my full IF 1800mhz. I finally ended up at 3600mhz 14-18-18-18 36 68 @ 1.35v, which ain't too shabby and at $90 it isn't a bad deal.

All the testing was done on a Asus ROG crosshair 7 hero motherboard w/ 3600X@4300 all core and OC settings set to where they need to be and SOC to 1.125v.

It would be appreciated if you click that helpful button it goes a long ways to help us reviewers, especially when we spend a couple hours testing ram lol.

I tried 3800Mhz with same timing and it was successful.

*Additional*
After using it for about a month, 3800 at 1.35v was unstable, seems like need more voltage.
After all, the clock is lowered and the voltage is raised one step further, so far it is in use without any problems.

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2020

Capacity: STANDARD: 32GB (16GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3200 MHzColor: REDVerified Purchase

I had 4 sticks of 8gb Crucial Ballistix @2666mhz with XMP enabled. This ram was solid, but I wanted a little more. I knew it was possible the gains could end up being small, but I had the money, so I went for it. My computer is an IBuyPower 'Enthusiast'(Yes, I plan on upgrading the psu and graphics eventually) that I use for day trading stocks. The computer was already pretty solid out of the box, especially for only $499, but what I liked was that the ASRock motherboard B450M-ibw (proprietary to IBuyPower, but same as a B450M/ac) and AMD platform that I thought would be a fairly solid starting point with which to upgrade as I came across more funds. The first thing I did was go from the stock 8gb of ram to Crucial 8x2. This helped a bit, but needed some help, so I upgraded to a Ryzen 5 3600. Already excellent gains and speed (It came with a Ryzen 3 2400g). I overclocked the Ryzen 5 to 4.2ghz @ 1.4v, which proved to be nice and stable, but I didn’t like how high the voltage was, which is not needed and really only causes heat, so I ended up at 1.375v.

I then bought 2 more of 8gb ram by Crucial for 32gb total, 8x4gb at the stock speed of 2666mhz. This was fine, but it really didn't help much bc I was still at the stock speed of 2666, so in essence, I could tell, and feel, that it could be improved upon. I eventually did away with the 4x8 setup @2666 and went with this kit at 3200mhz, 16x2, with XMP enabled. I tried messing with timings to see if I could achieve CL15 or CL14, but every time I saved bios settings and rebooted, it kept throwing away XMP as well as my cpu overclock and rebooting everything to auto. So essentially, what I discovered is that at least with a Ryzen 5 3600 and an ASRock B450M-ibw(same as B450M/ac, just different bios), these Crucial Ballistix either don't like to be overclocked passed their stock XMP overclock settings, or the motherboard/bios doesn't like it. I have a feeling it's the ram that doesn't like it.

Full specs are:
Ryzen 5 3600 overclocked to 4200ghz @ 1.400volts
Crucial 32gb(16x2) 3200mhz CL16 with XMP enabled.

So right now with this setup, my best Cinebench rating is 1825, which I noticed beats out quite a few Ryzen 7 setups listed on Cinebench. I still have the stock PSU and graphics card which I'm itching to upgrade, but I haven't decided if I'm going to add 2 more 16x2 sticks for a total of 64gb. I know most activities won't benefit, but some will, so there's that.

Crucial is definitely solid kit. There's a reason they are as reputable as they are. Hope all that helps.

** Edit (as of 04/25/2020): I’ve upgraded to 64gb of ram, 16x4 with xmp enabled @3200mhz.

If this makes sense, overall it’s not faster per se, but does feel ‘smoother’. Everything feels effortless, almost like the cpu accesses to ram when it needs to for help, which is rare, but seems to ‘know it’s there when needed’, if you will. I’ve upgraded the cpu to an EVGA 750w Gold, the graphics card is now an RTX 2060 Super and I’ve put a Noctua U12A cpu cooler on the cpu which has allowed me to squeeze the overclocking to 4.3 @ 1.375. I’ve upgraded the intake and exhaust fans to Noctua F12’s and this thing is not only stable as mountain, but quiet as a mouse. I have an air purifier in my room that is louder than this thing. Anyway, just some tweaks I thought I’d add. Well worth it. Ram is excellent, can’t go wrong.

Ballistix !!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2020

Capacity: STANDARD: 16GB (8GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3200 MHzColor: BLACKVerified Purchase

Dont really know a whole lot about ram.
bought these for my ryzen 5 3600 build, on an MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX, and they work just fine, when you first turn the system on they will read at a lower speed, so you have to go in to the bios and turn on the XMP, once you do that they will read at 3200.
other then that, looks great, easy to use, and works good, i have been using ballistix for my last 3 builds and have never had a problem with them.

I had a problem with some G.Skill ram and needed a quick replacement as I can't be down for days on end waiting. I order this memory on 2/11 through prime. Not only did I get it on 2/12, I popped these sticks in, clicked the XMP option in bios and bam; up and running. I've never really used crucial memory since the old ddr days and I'm pleasantly surprised. Electronics are a roll of the dice sometimes even by the top manufactures. Sometimes it's your turn to get a faulty piece. But today, it wasn't me! Here's the set up to help anyone looking and wondering.

Capacity: STANDARD: 16GB (8GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3600 MHzColor: BLACKVerified Purchase

Pared this with a Asus tuf b450 pro mobo and 3600x. the ram didn't want to initially load into xmp setting and was at 2666mhz out of the box. this was not an issue with the ram and it took me a while to configure mobo settings. but once every thing was good XMP loaded no problem and it runns as avertized. 3600mhz and for every one who keeps asking the xmp timings are 16-18-18-38. Once i oced my 3600x to 4.3ghz everything seemed to run even better and "lock in". Currently i have it at 4.4ghz. current Cine-bench score 4000. will try to oc ram in future and update if successful.

LE MIGLIORI PER I RYZEN SERIE 3xxx (AGGIORNAMENTO: anche per ryzen 5000).

Reviewed in Italy on March 23, 2020

Capacity: STANDARD: 16GB (8GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3600 MHzColor: BLACKVerified Purchase

I ryzen serie 3000, per la loro architettura, lavorano meglio con frequenze di ram elevate.

I CCD (grupi di core) infatti comunicano tra loro attraverso l'infinity fabric. Questa comunicazione avviene ad una frequenza uguale a quella delle ram fino a 3600Mhz. (3600mhz in double data, DDR appunto, sono 1800mhz sull'infinity clock, ma questo non ci interessa).

Oltre i 3600Mhz, la frequenza dell'infinity clock passa da 1:1 a 1:2, dimezzandosi e rallentando gli scambi di dati tra i core.

Quindi 3600Mhz è la frequenza migliore con cui scegliere le vostre ram per i ryzen.

E' assolutamente sconsigliato scendere sotto i 3000Mhz, mentre un buon compromesso per le prestazioni se non volete spendere troppo sono i 3200Mhz (questo dai test che si trovano in giro).

Ovvie te come tutte le ram, per farle andare alla frequenza dichiarata dovete abilitare il profilo xmp dal vostro bios (è una cavolata, ma è fondamentale).

AGGIORNAMENTO:

Per i ryzen 5000 l'infinity fabric di cui ho scritto sopra, si puo fare andare fino a 1900-2000mhz (2000 nei casi fortunati, 1900 quasi sempre). Questo corrisponderebbe a frequenze sulle ram di 3800-4000Mhz.

Ci sarebbe la serie max che va dai 4000mhz in su, ma costa davvero troppo e non ne vale la pena se considerate che le ballistix "normali" da 3600mhz cl16 si overclockano facilmente a 3800Mhz cl16 e anche a 4000mhz cl17 con circa 1,39v. Questo da quello che ho potuto vedere sui due stick miei e altri quattro di un amico che ho aiutato con le ram.

Quindi, in poche parole, per i ryzen 5000 le migliori ram da prendere restano le 3600 cl16, da overclockare all'occorrenza se volete alzare manualmente le frequenze dell'infinity fabric ed ottenere il massimo delle prestazioni possibili. Se non volete toccare l'infinity fabric perché non siete sicuri o non vi interessa, le potete comunque lasciare a 3600 attivando il solo profilo xmp (proprio come sui ryzen 3000) e siete apposto.

The new "b-die"

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 6, 2020

Capacity: STANDARD: 16GB (8GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3600 MHzColor: BLACKVerified Purchase

These sticks are micron Rev. E and they are better than some b-dies for a lot less money. (samsung refers to their silicon internally as b-die while micron refers to theirs as rev e)

MB: B450M Mortar MAX, CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 @ 4.0Ghz, 1.35V, SOC, 1.08V, CLDO_VDDP 0.7V

EDIT: A few things to note, my sticks are throwing errors at XMP stock voltage of 1.35V in HCI Memtest. Errors at XMP should be expected as it is an overclock profile, in most cases bumping voltages will get rid of the errors. Using Ryzen Dram Calculator and some manual timing tightening I ended up with this: 14-18-14-14-32-56-1CR-522TRFC, GDM OFF @ 3600 MT/S, 1.47V. In the calculator membench 0.8 i got a time of 109.6 on Easy.

Capacity: STANDARD: 16GB (8GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3200 MHzColor: WHITEVerified Purchase

Sono RAM stabilissime una volta impostati i settaggi correttamente come riportato sul sito del produttore.
Inizialmente la mia MSI B450M MORTAR MAX le vedeva a 2666, abilitando XMP sono passato a 3000, ma a causa dei settaggi sbagliati erano instabili.
Una volta applicato a manina i profili corretti,una bomba!!! Testate per più di 2 ore su AIDA64.
Probabilmente montate sulla controparte INTEL la frequenza massima viene beccata in automatico una volta abilitato XMP.

I valori da impostare sono 16-18-18-36 a 1.35V

RAM de qualité et juste sublime

Capacity: STANDARD: 16GB (8GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3000 MHzColor: BLACKVerified Purchase

J'ai acheté de nouvelles barrettes de RAM pour me monter un PC de jeu.
Mes critères étaient :
- Sobre et élégant ( pas de RGB )
- Une bonne fréquence
- Un dissipateur peu volumineux

Ces barrettes Crucial sont donc le compromis idéal , j'ai couplé cette RAM avec un Ryzen 5 3600 et une RX 5700 XT, elles sont parfaites , il y a même possibilité de les overclocker pour monter à une fréquence de 3400 ou 3200 Mhz car de base elles sont cadencés à 3000 Mhz , ce qui est déjà très bien mais pour que mon CPU soit en parfaite adéquation , j'ai décidé d'overclocker cette ram à 3200 Mhz via le logiciel Gigabyte inclus avec ma carte mère B45O Aorus Elite.

Elles sont stables et me permettent de faire toutes mes tâches quotidiennes comme le Jeu en qualité Ultra ou même les rendus vidéo et bien sur la bureautique comme la navigation internet , les films , le traitement de texte .
Superbe RAM , je les conseille vivement à tout le monde , à prendre les yeux fermés.

ÉDIT : Je viens de m'en recommander une paire de 16go pour atteindre les 32 go, quel plaisir, les meilleurs Ram actuellement surtout niveau prix.

Fastest ever return

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 10, 2020

Capacity: STANDARD: 32GB (16GBx2)Style: SPEED: 3600 MHzColor: BLACKVerified Purchase

Just received 32 Gb Ram through letter box and I'm immediately returning it.
At a cost of £183.99 I now have no confidence in its reliability.
When I opened the outer packaging the manufacturers box had been opened. The plastic seal had been cut and the person who opened it didn't even have the common sense to close it properly.
I can see no legitimate reason for it to be opened. At £184 the manufacturer closes the box and I should be the first person to open it.
RAM is very sensitive and I have no way of knowing how it has been handled. Damage can be caused that is not immediately obvious and it could fail at any time in the near future. It could have been swapped with faulty RAM or be a return reissued and sold as new. As I have said there is no valid reason for it to have been opened.
Now I have to wait a week for a replacement. Hopefully delivered in tact.

Update..
Today received replacement RAM. It came all the way from Germany. Once again it had been opened before delivery. I now don't know if there is any point in asking for a replacement or if I should just ask for my money back and order from the crucial website.
The pictures show how the RAM was delivered. The left is the first one, with plastic seal cut.
The right is todays delivery. the seal has been peeled off but not stuck back properly.
This RAM may work for years or it may not.
I still can't imagine why anyone would need to open the packages. Even if it was just curiosity, you can see what's inside without opening them.
