I just got a 16gb kit at an awesome price, the first 3 days I forgot to turn on Xmp profile, it was working at 2666mhz. I felt like a dork.
It happens to the best of us. :)
Hey! How do you activate the Xmp?
@@daniwest1370 go into bios
I Got AMD Ryzen what i need to activate?
@@shotpoter1453 you need ram that can run an xmp profile so like 3000mhz,etc. to activate it you need to go into bios, from there it depends on your motherboard and then you can activate it
Snagging this on a black friday deal, great video thanks
Great to hear, and thanks for watching!
$44 USD for the 2x8GB 3200Mhz kit was a steal. No wonder it was gone by noon that day.
@@draco147 No joke that was a steal! :)
Man I got that same one and they just send me two sets for the price of 1 now I have 32gb😂
@@petesr5254 Bruh.
1:43 woah, 32000mhz?😂😂
Honest mistake.
10 times faster then the one I got lol I feel ripped off
Ddr10
I bought two 32gb sets recently, the price has really come down. I don't plan to switch to DDR5 for several years yet so it makes sense to buy a good set of DDR4 to hold me until then, considering these prices.
Yes, and considering that since Crucial will no longer make gaming RAM, these will only get higher in price.
Sweet. By pure chance I've managed to get a kit (*Ballistix 3200 CL16 16GB) that overclocks as well as my 4x DDR3 1866 HyperX sticks (1866 to 2200 stock voltage and timings). Would have been interesting to see the latency improvements with the 3600MHz overclock.
You are talking about the review? Did I miss showing something?
@@TechLegend-com I bought the 16GB kit of Ballistix last week as part of my moving from Haswell. Just edited to clarify. I actually mainly chose the kit because it didn't look "gamery" and it was tied as the cheapest in store at the time.
@@dabombinablemi6188 Ah I see, then I miss read your first comment. Your choice is good, these kits are good and reliable.
Just received these sticks but mine is 2x8GB 3200Mhz in black and I was able to overclock these to 3600mhz CL16 @ 1.4v on my ASRock B450M Steel Legend with a Ryzen 5 3600 :) great sticks
Great to hear! What about the timings at that frequency?
Tech Legend I got it to 16-16-19-16-32. One of the members in the LTT discord said that these sticks can get up to 3600Mhz CL15 or 14 and should be able to do 3800Mhz CL16 but my board isn’t that great for memory overclocking. I was able to get it to 3800Mhz CL16 but it was unstable as my board only supports up to 3600Mhz. Also, the max DRAM voltage for my board is 1.4v.
@@itsmejustin1That is very good, and it shows what you can do if you tweak the timings a bit. :)
why were the ram sticks scissoring in the beginning 💀
What?!
Could you elaborate on how to remove the heat spreaders? Are there any snaps, locking mechanisms, etc.? Is it single piece or do the two sides hold a third piece in place?
The heat spreader is a single piece. You essentially pry it off the RAM module and lift it up.
@@TechLegend-com Great to know. Thanks!
@@John-lo9sc You're welcome!
Hey just found and subbed to this great channel, do you reckon this would be compatible with msi b450m pro vdh max and ryzen 2700x?
I see no reason to not work with those components.
@@TechLegend-com thx
Would this work on windows10 , icore 5 nvidia , ?
Yes.
@@TechLegend-com thank you
@@gleesyy You're welcome mate.
Any stress mixing 2x 8gb 3200 ballistix sport lt with 2x 8gb 3200 of this ballistix version you show here?
It will work but not 100% guaranteed. Ideally, you need identical RAM kits to be 100% sure that they will work right.
i have this ram and i cannot activate xmp profile on my asrock b450m steel legend, so i'm running at 2666mhz, someone has an idea ?
Update the bios and try again.
did it worked?
@@jorge_yepes Still waiting for an answer myself.
Which CPU?
What's the height of the ram without the heat sink? Is it the same as the corsair lpx without the heat sink?
If you remove the heatsink, then the size will be the same as all RAM modules without heatsink.
Will i be able to enable INTEL XMP 2.0 if i have Ryzen CPU ?
It should work just fine.
what is the difference between this one and the ballistix elite? it's making me go insane
The Ballistix Elite are the high end models, they usually are available with speeds of around 4000MHz.
@@TechLegend-com but other than that it doesn't change anything right? they both offer 3600 models, so I just bought the basic one lol
@@emgarVIII If I'm not mistaken, I believe that's the main difference. The Elite are supposed to have higher frequency as the memory chips used in those are better overall. But, for regular usage, even the basic ones are great.
Good review but i have one question. I heard that it's better to have like 4x8 GB RAM then 1x32 GB RAM. Is that true?
I am not sure about 4x8, but I always recommend to have a dual channel kit. So 2x16GB, this way, you have two RAM slots left for future upgrades.
depends on mobo. some mobos do better with 2 sticks instead of 4. some do great w 4. depends. check ur mobo type. t-topology vs daisy chain
@@noworldforeric Most do better with just two sticks. The 4 sticks platforms are those such as the X299 or ThreadRipper.
don't get a 1 x 32GB Module
@@yiepie9822 Yeah, pretty much.
One question, can these memories come in a package of 50 units? In a store I asked for the box and they told me that they come in packages of 50
For such a large order, it would be best to get in touch with Crucial directly.
Same, I bought 2 and asked for the packaging, he said they they come in another big package and showed me the huge packaging
@@extravago7868 How many kits do you think would have been in that large packaging?
@@TechLegend-com the packaging was huge so 50 seems very likely
@@extravago7868 I see, thanks for the info! :)
I just bought this kit for 98 euro. What a steal!
Truly !
hi! thanks so much for the video, this is compatible with aorus b550m pro ax??
Yes, it will work with that motherboard.
Ballistix 8gb ram or hyper x fury 8 gb ram? Which one is best ?
Get the one that is cheaper and has lower timings.
Hey, can I use ballistix 2666mhz 8gb *2 ram with corsair 8gb 2400mhz
You could, but it won't be stable.
Im late but will it work in a ryzen 5 3400g b450m ds3h?
Yes it will.
@@TechLegend-com thanks
@@normansoto3836 You're welcome!
This ram would be compatible with Lenovo IdeaPad gaming 3i?
No, because that is a laptop and this is a Desktop RAM kit. You need RAM that is made for laptop usage.
@@TechLegend-com oh, cool. I'm new to this sorry for the noob question, anyway thanks for the reply!!
@@jordanalves1046 No problem, glad I was able to help you.
Do you recommend pairing them with a 10400F and a B460 motherboard?
The 10400F doesn´t go higher than 2666 since its not a Z490 motherboard.
The B460 is caped at 2933Mhz.
The ram sticks cost 80€ so I believe it's a good price
Also, nice video!
For that price, I'll go for that RAM kit and enjoy the performance. :)
I got today these 2 ram at the clock of 3200Mhz and I activated the XMP 2.0 profile but when I open CPU-Z it shows that these rams are going DDR4-2666Mhz is that normal?
Reset the Bios to the factory settings and try to enable XMP again. See if it works.
which is better crucial ballistix 16gbx2 3200mhz cl16 or HyperX Fury 16gbx2 3200mhz cl16??
Both are close in performance, get the one that is cheaper.
Will it be compatible with MSI B450M-A Pro MAX motherboard? Planning on a 3400g setup on this.
Yes it will work.
will it works on a Dell XPS 8930 Desktop Computer.
It should work.
I know im late but will this work with a asus prime B450M-A and a ryzen 5 16
00x
Yes it will.
I got the R5 1600, and you should prove stability with Memtest86 for about a night.
1st Gen Ryzen´s memory controller won´t handle much more than this kit achieves out of the box.
There are way cheaper 3200 kits just for that CPU, this kit would be worth it if you plan to upgrade the CPU later, cause its got oc capability.
Again : If you stay with the 1600, you can get 32gb 3200 for 50 dollars, euros, pesetas or whatever less.
@@kawafahra This is good advice for everyone, thank you! :)
Good video. Looking at picking up a new ram kit. Used Ballistix in the past. Wanted to see if the newer versions of the memory are still good.
Thanks for watching, glad to see it was useful!
Ballistix 3200cl16 or vengeance pro rgb 3600cl18?
Always go for the lower CAS latency if it's this small of a gap in terms of the frequency. So i'd go for the Ballistix.
@@TechLegend-com thx. Actually canceled my order of the vengeance pros and got the ballistix before you commented :D
Did some research and I hope I can push them to 3600CL16 (or even better). Saw as much as 3733mhz 15-17-17-34 with them which is pretty dope.
@@maxzett You won't regret your choice.
hi, is it compatible with i5 11400 with h510m-e asus prime? i don't want to make a mistake during this covid time
It will work.
Will this work with ryzen 5 3600 and AsRock b450m steel legend?
Should work.
Can you recommend me something similar to this RAM beacuse its not available right now in my country?
The brand does not matter as much as the timings and the frequency. If you can get a different RAM kit that is still made by Crucial/Micron, I would recommend those as they have been the best in terms of reliability.
Hi! Could you help me? I have seen that this ram are very cheap in amazon. Are they recomendable? And are they compatible with a ryzen 5 3600 and a tuf b450 plus gaming motherboard?
Yes these RAM kits will work with that CPU/motherboard. Everything should work fine out of the box, but double check on the motherboard compatibility for the RAM kits.
@@TechLegend-com When I go into the characteristics of the motherboard, it says the following: "Asus TUF B450-PLUS GAMING is a gaming motherboard with RGB Aura Sync LED lighting, DDR4 3200MHz support, M.2 32Gbps, HDMI 2.0b, Type C and USB 3.1 Gen 2 original". According to that, it would be compatible? I am sorry, I am a Rookie on this😅
@@jorgelecinana4663 Yes it is compatible, don't worry.
@@TechLegend-com Ok, thank you really much!!
@@jorgelecinana4663 You're welcome mate, don't forget to subscribe!
Is this ram compatible with the b550 tuf and the b550 aorus?
It is.
it works at 3200 with ryzen 5 3400g and AM4 B450 GAMING X?
Should work just fine.
Hiii, how's the RAM doing now?
Do we need to overclock the cpu inorder to overclock the RAM?
The RAM is doing good as it was the first day. You do not need to overclock your CPU in order to overclock the RAM, there are separate components.
@@TechLegend-com That's nice, I'm buying 2x 8GB RAMs.
Thankyou so much for quick reply & Information🤝
@@prof.purpur You're welcome, don't forget to subscribe!
I'm also late. Would you mind helping me and tell me if this RAM would work with Asus ROG Huracan G21CX (Desktop)? Thank you.
Can you tell me what motherboard your system is using? If it's a motherboard that uses DDR4 RAM, then it will work with this kit.
@@TechLegend-com My bad. My coputer uses SO-DDIM RAM Only... so i had to get 32GB DDR4 of so-ddim. works fine now. Thanks for your reply anyway.
@@rickywhite3506 Great to hear that you got it working!
Will this work on windows 10 intel 5 9400F geforce GTX 1660 ?
Yes.
I have a (LT)version of this ram can i buy this i mean can it support (LT)and this new version please reply me
If you mean the Ballistix Sport LT, then those are a different model. They can work together but it will not be 100% stable.
@@TechLegend-com thanks for clear my confusions sir and i very like ur content.
@@mell0xd Glad I was able to help you out.
Yo so I post tested my pc and it worked but the rgb is not turning on
If you have this RAM kit, then you have no RGB. These RAM sticks have no LEDs present. You need the variant that says "RGB".
@@TechLegend-com yes I bought the rgb version
@@mansageekz7938 Install the Crucial M.O.D software and see if the LEDs start working.
@@TechLegend-com okay I'll try that and tell u if it works
@@TechLegend-com corosair, ballistix or hyperx which one will be good ? I want 8x2 3200mhz. Should I go for whichever I am getting for cheap (in these 3 brands ) and what do I need to look for when buying a ram
is this stable/compatible with ryzen cpus (2700x)
Yes it is!
My 2600x and Asus Prime x470 board doesn't like the default XMP. It will probably tune to higher than default though if you adjust some things
@@yfs9035 Have you tried a higher voltage for the RAM and memory controller?
Will it work on a MSI A520 motherboard with a ryzen 3 4350g?
Yes!
@@TechLegend-com really? Thanks dude I'll order it now!!

Hi, Corsair, Gskill or this one? E-die? Thanks in advance...
Which model, which variant, which price? Contrary to what some people might think i'm not really a tech god. :)
@@TechLegend-com Gskill Trident Z RGB, Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB, same speed, same latency, price 24 bucks more than Crucial Ballistix Standar. Which ones are more reliable?
@@3lectronic0 Sorry for the late reply.
I'd get the G.Skill kit if the small price increase was no issue. But the Crucial kit is just as good for gaming and daily usage.
@@TechLegend-com Don't worry. My current RAM is Gskill, but DDR3, they have worked like a charm since 2013. Thanks!
@@3lectronic0 Both G.Skill and Crucial are good and reliable brands, I'd buy the kit that is cheaper.
Do you know why in the bios it shows ddr4-2666 instead of 3200 like what it’s suppose to be
Yes, X.M.P is not activated, go there and activate the XMP profile and they will work at 3200MHz.
Tech Legend Ok I enabled xmp and put it at 3200. Does that mean it’s running at that? It still shows 2666 in task manager
@@rayyan2777 Most software including Task Manager shows the effective clock frequency. "DDR" stands for double data rate, so basically, it reads as half the speed. You are running at 3200MHz, if you want to know for sure, install Aida 64 and look at that, it will give you a better understanding of how it goes.
@@TechLegend-com Oh, I was concerned because with my corsair vengenace that was faulty, it actually showed 3200 mhz in bios and task manager.
@@rayyan2777 No need to worry, check them out with aida and let me know if everything's ok.

I have a question for professionals to explain the following situation. Well, every startup of the computer ends with two or three BlueScreen. The cause is the memory. However, the next startup no longer causes BS and the memories behave well. The computer works even several hours without any problems. This is obviously an anomaly that I would very much like to explain, why the first, second, third startup causes BS and then it is OK. And this happens every day, i.e. the computer is turned off on a particular day because it is bedtime and turned on the next day. And again BS, and then OK. And the next day the cycle starts over again, BS, and then OK. XMP in BIOS is set to OK. I tried lowering the DDR4 frequency, but it doesn't help. What is the cause of this? Curious if anyone has encountered this behavior and knows the answer?
Did you reset the Bios to the factory settings? Tried to increase the voltage for the RAM?
If all else fails, did you see this behavior with a different RAM kit or only with this one?
@@TechLegend-com Reset BIOS to factory settings did not help. I don't have other memory, I guess I have to buy it, but what kind? By how much to increase the voltage?
My DDR4 is: Corsair CMK8GX4M1A2400C14 (2x8GB). MB: ROG STRIX B560-F GAMING WIFI and i5-11400.

Corsair LPX is the worst memory, I also have trouble with them.
Unfortunately Corsair does not want to replace. I don't recommend them to anyone!
The fault with my memory is so specific that sometimes they work without a problem and sometimes blue screen one after another.
I've already regretted it and bought DDR4 from another company and now there is no problem.
From now on I will avoid Corsair from far away. Thanks for the tips.

Es rgb o no?
No.
If you want the best performance for the best price, get Samsung B die. Anything with 2x8gb 3200MHz\CAS14. You can clock it to what ever you want if you loosen the timings. 3600MHz seems to be the sweet spot for Ryzen. Using more gives little extra performance and using 4 sticks adds marginal extra performance, especially considering almost double the cost.
This right here. :)
