Crucial Ballistix Sport LT BLS2K8G4D30AESBK 3000 MHz, DDR4, DRAM, Desktop Gaming Memory Kit, 16 GB (8 GB x2), CL15 (Grey)

Easy to install and works as described

I have a basic Acer Aspire X-885 core i5 mini tower PC that I use in my gym for Zwift. It had a single stick of Adata 8Gb of RAM from factory, and Zwift specs suggest that should be sufficient. I added an upgraded NVIDIA 1050Ti low profile graphics card And a Samsung 970Evo SATA SSD and was still only getting an average of 25fps in Ultra mode.Initially I wondered if it was weak wifi, but after checking that by switching to Ethernet I was left scratching my head with the same issue.As a last gasp attempt before upgrading the desktop I thought I’d whack 2x8Gb of the red Ballistix ram into the unit to up the ram from 8 to 16Gb. According to Zwift it shouldn’t make a blind bit of difference, but here’s what I found:1) FPS increased from max of 25fps to 34fps2) occasionally surging video became much smoother and more linearI chose RAM of equivalent speed (2666MHz), so only the total ram has changed. Whether two sims works better than a single?One tip, I fitted the RAM and on first boot I only saw 8Gb, not 16Gb. Despite pushing the RAM in until it clicked into place, it had seated well by the clip side, but I found on one stick it hadn’t seated flush on the other side. A quick push down on both sides and it sorted the issue. The PC recognised the RAM immediately, but I ran a quick RAM check in Windows (type Windows memory diagnostic tool into the search bar in Win10), and it got a clean bill of health.So overall I would rate this RAM, was nicely built, well presented and has made a qualified improvement in performance for even a basic online gaming service.

As any product sold on amazon I am scared to buy because of faultiness risk of any electronics sold and bought on amazon. But then I decided to take a risk and you know - it is worth!! 16 GB is enough for windows hardcore gaming. The speed are incredible of this RAM! I have only one stick of this RAM and this stick and brand are NOT mixable with anything else - you cannot add your old DDR4 RAM together with this one - you computer will simply not turn on because old DDR4 stick I got have 2400 Mhz and this one I have 3200 Mhz - due to different frequencies your computer will not turn on!!!! Be careful - !!! Don't mix DDR4 RAM stix - ALL DDR4 RAM STIKS MUST BE THE VERY SAME FREQUENCY 3200 MHZ! If you really want more memory more then 16 GB - just simply buy same this one another ONE MORE 16 GB BALLISTIX RAM - it will even double your current speed of PC!!! SIMPLY BUY IT!!! Its worth the money!! And you know? - Its looks beautiful this stick of RAM in your PC!!!

I snagged this 16GB kit on a price drop for £55. Seeming as some people pay £55 for just 8GB I was very pleased with myself. I was installing it in a £400 Ryzen 1200 PC, so I was a little worried because I had heard Ryzen performs better with 3000+ MHz RAM, and this was only 2666MHz. However, when I actually got round to testing it out, I was impressed with the performance. I was not experiencing any bottleneck, and I was able to run many programmes and tab at one time. Whats more, the RAM sticks themselves look quite good in my PC. The grey heatspreader is good aesthetically, something quite rare on RAM this cheap.Overall excellent Memory, Highly recommend buying this rather than going down to a cheap 8GB kit as 16GB is perfect for games and productivity, and this kit in particular is very good value and a quality made product.

Got these when they dropped to £36.99 one day, for a Ryzen 2200G build that I was doing. I managed to overclock easily to 2800MHz, and again to 3000MHz. Since this was a build for a customer that was quite far away, I decided to keep it at 2800MHz, in case of stability issues as I didn't want to have to field any service calls. I've bought many of this brand/model of RAM before and found it to be very reliable and amenable to light, though not stellar, overclocking. Definitely recommend this stuff for price/performance ratio, although in fairness faster RAM is better with Ryzen builds. I generally just buy what is acceptable and cheap on the day and this fitted the bill. I've probably bought around 5-6 sets of this stuff in varying speeds over the last year and everything has been very reliable. Therefore, I'd recommend it and will buy more.

Not bad. I admit at the time i considered buying more as for the price it was very cheap compared to other brands at the time. Furthermore the fact that it is Red fits in with my overall PC theme, or at least the case and PSU colour!I would rate it higher but considering the price of RAM recently (which by no fault is the seller!) i cant exactly give it more than 4 stars because of how cheap it would have been only a year or so ago.. Also the fact that it wasn't really packaged as one separate RAM stick and instead came in a plastic packaging that made it look suspicious that they had just taken out 1 stick of RAM in a 2x16 Pack just to sell it individually was also a reason i hadn't voted higher.I may just be picking it apart too much but overall it didn't arrive dead and that's the best thing so far for someone who has had many problems building their first PC and its several attempts at upgrading RAM via online stores.. haha

After months of research i bought the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT x16gb. I could have paid double if not triple the money on another memory kit that was already 3600mhz tested however i am so glad i choose this ram kit instead after listening to Buildzoid recommending this stuff. I have overclocked this certified 3200mhz kit to 3600mhz with the timings of 14-20-14-28-56. its very stable and runs beautifully on my Tomahawk B450 Max motherboard. the (trcd) seems to be the weakness of this memory kit but everything else can be overclocked to the heavens. I was getting up to speeds of 3800mhz with no split in ratio and/or infinity fabric having different frequency from memory clock etc. was so impressed with this ram i bought another to make my system up to 32gb. works perfectly. I wholeheartedly recommend this ram for any ryzen build
