Know before you buy
Yes, the Crucial Ballistix kit is rigorously tested for compatibility with both major platforms, ensuring stable performance whether you are running an Intel or AMD system.
This kit runs at a standard JEDEC speed out of the box. To reach the full 3200 MHz performance, you simply need to enable the XMP 2.0 profile within your motherboard's BIOS settings.
Absolutely. Each module features 16 RGB LEDs spread across 8 zones, which can be customized using most major motherboard lighting software. Additionally, the lightbar is removable if you prefer to swap it out for a 3D-printed design.
Yes, the modules feature a low-profile design with integrated aluminum heatsinks, making them a great fit for most builds, including those with limited clearance around the CPU cooler.
No, this is a non-ECC UDIMM kit. It is designed specifically for high-performance gaming and desktop use rather than server or workstation environments that require ECC memory.
This kit operates at a CAS latency of 16, with timings of 16-18-18-36 at 1.35V. These specifications provide a solid balance of speed and responsiveness for gaming and multitasking.
