They're (Micron) building a huge new fab near me (Manassas, VA) not sure if they're gonna produce crucial products there or just fancy chips for the defense industry but either way it's pretty cool. There's not many American companies still on the cutting edge of consumer PC hardware so I always try to support crucial if they've got a competitive product (unlike Intel).
maybe they're hoping to piggy back your association with Gamers Nexus to get some more eyes on the goods. Sticks like this are wasted on less technical channels, so I'm glad it went to someone like you

@@TZLVredmist love the crucial ballistix line. Found it was the only brand to not give me issues on my ryzen systems and on intel its also amazing for the price. I recommend it to everyone I can. Keep up the good work.
@@TZLVredmist I'm going with you guys next time I buy ram just because of the good community interaction. Keep this up, and avoid doing what nVidia just did.
especially after all the nice thing he said about the last shipment they sent, but hey do a good job & you get good reviews 😁 I bought their Crucial Ballistix RGB 16GB (2x8GB) PC-25600 (3200MHz) DDR4, CL16, 16-18-18-36 after Builzoid's review & I think they look cool 😁
I can see where the line is though, tried introducing some of my PC buddies to the channel and their eyes just start to glass over once electronics knowledge starts droppin'
Your recommendations made me snatch a 3200 ballistix kit from the recent Amazon sale, happily running it at 3600 for my Ryzen. So in my book you deseved the kit for sure, made me a fan of Crucial 👍
@@sysakPL I did experiment going past 3600 (with 1:1) but seemed to lose performance so took the easy route for now. Need to do a more thorough clocking session at some point for sure.
I got the Ballistix 16GB 3200MHz Kit too, it is paired with a R9 3900X & X570Tomahawk but just running XMP so far, I really like the look & Buildzoid's praise of the performance sealed the deal, what an upgrade from i7-3770K editing Home Videos😲😲😲😲😲, I gotta take some time to back & find Buildzoid's vid for setting up the FCLK & OC to 1800/3600 or 1900/3800 depending on what my combo is happy with
You have 119k subs as of this, but what's your channel name? "Actually Hardcore Overclocking." If they have major confidence in their product actually living up to its specs, they need one of the few brave lunatics out there willing to push it to its actual Hardcore maximums. You got it because you can actually use it as designed. Most other tech channels? Not even close.
Lol, most tech tubers probably don't even know what xmp is. They'd probably plug it in having it run at jedec speeds along with every other memory they test and come to the conclusion that memory frequency is just a marketing gimmick
tbh, most cool press kits go to journalists to whom that's (understandably) 'just work'. So I'm glad that this time a cool press kit actually went to someone who's actually enthused my it and appreciates its rarity
The Ballistics Max seem interesting in general, would like to see a more in depth review on the 32GB kit. Congrats on being deemed worthy of the 5100 sticks!
Hi Buildzoid again, 16 years ago I bought an Asus Rampage Extreme, a QX 9650 and a 4 Gig kit of Crucial Ballistix Tracer. I managed to get the CPU to 4.2Ghz and the ram to just over 1900mhz. After messing with Gunning Transceiver Logic and memory timings and voltages for FSB which was on H2O I didn't think this was a bad OC. To get the FSB from 1333Mhz to 1907 and the CPU from 3.0Ghz to 4.2 after only 2 months of blue screens and failed posts was for me an exiting achievement. The main point is Crucial(Micron) make some awesome chips. PS. The LEDs on the modules were gimmicky at first but proved really useful because if the OC had failed they would freeze up way before you saw the OC failed post screen. Brilliant kit. Then again in 2004 £156 for 4 gig was a bit on the high side but well worth it.. Love your channel.
You may only have 100k+ subs, but you're one of the most technical and trusted reviewers on the internet. Nobody else has deeply detailed content like you do and we (and manufacturers) appreciate your content.
They were probably really sure you would actually dive into the depth and Details over these sticks and why they are awsome, more than the larger channels with 'yep they are pretty fast.' !Keep up the good work :), i learn a lot about the depths of hardware & traces & quality and the why's behind it Tnx to you, keep it up!
Hey dude, love the deep dives on hardware, watched you ever since GN started featuring you! Question: What is the chance we'll see a mobo analysis of the TUF X570 pro, to see if there are any upgrades compared to the X570 Plus?
You seem surprised they provided you with a review sample. I'm not surprised at all. Yes there are bigger creators and outlets out there... But your subscribers are easily the most likely to purchase or be interested in this sort of product.

@@MKhurramAziz nobody really knows yet, we don’t know how high it will clock. Highest I’ve heard is 2000 mhz, but I could be wrong. If it really runs up to 2200, then I’ve got some memory tuning to do
I snagged some 32gb ballistix for prime day as I was in need of an upgrade. I'm hoping to run them at the 3200 with my zen plus until I am able to drop a ryzen 5000 series in then I'm gonna shoot for 3733. Appreciate the recommendation, really happy so far.
Zoid - You may be a young buck, quirky, and super prolific in regards to video lengrth (I don’t care). BUT you should be at the top of the list of reviewers for something like this. Don’t sell yourself short. You rock (from a 50 year old overclocker) !!
I just happened to be browsing Amazon for deals on PC components that I don't need before I saw this and as of 4:15pm EST there were 8 2x8gb kits left for the bargain price of $899.99. Sadly I'm not independently wealthy or so I can't add these sticks to my collection. Pretty cool I can get to check it out here though!
You have 120,000 subs, but many times that number know who you are and quote you daily in the social media bundle. You have achieved Bundaroo guru level 10.
I've been buying crucial memory ever since you recommended them (at a time when it seemed like everyone was only recommending pricey samsung b-die memory) - so to me at least it makes sense that they sent this kit to you
I am so happy you got those, even if Crucial had sent it to me (a complete noob) I wouldnt be as happy as I am for them sending it to you, cant wait to see what you can do with it on a Ryzen 5950X
if they actually max mem'd this, i'm sure the people who sent it to you were really giddy about whether you'd figure it out. Micron has completely run away with the DRAM frequency, at this point they're just showing off. excited for how DDR5 is going to shake things up, also exctied to see whether zen3 can deal with even higher frequency, and whether the 8 core ccds mean that the latency hit from running 2:1 isn't as bad.
looking like a wait for the 5000 series plus a 500 board. the 29-16-16... seems way out there. guess you have a fan at Crucial who wanted to see these put to the test.
@buildzoid i think you need to talk to Jacob about getting a z490dark KP edition to run this kit on... he sounded willing to send you one when we asked on twitter back towards the z490 launch
I'd like to see these sticks later with rocket lake. Wonder if that'd be a new mem controller since they're swapping cores and offloading the iGPU to another chiplet. Gotta see how much bandwidth these bois can delivery on a system capable of handling them, rocket lake and perhaps the upcoming zen 3 apu's are probably the last two chances we have at it.
Only issue is, it's not quite that simple. DDR stands for "Double Data Rate", so the math is actually 5100 / 2 = 2550 MHz, so the IF would need to be clocked to either 2550 MHz for 1:1 ratio (likely impossible) or 1275 MHz for 2:1 ratio (so much slower).
You have been recommending their Balistix line for a while (at least for those that want to overclock RevB, or just run with XMP), so I assume you are on their 'good' list. Also, if I am not wrong, AMD APUs should not be chipplets, or at least not the new 4000 series APUs. I don't know how memory would overclock on those, but you could try to get your hands on one and test it. Would not be cheap, or easy to get a 4750G though
You need to be a little less self deprecating, because this isn't a video about nothing. Here is something that we probably wouldn't have learned if they sent it to someone else: Crucial's "none insane" RAM can still be overclocked insanely. I didn't hear from Linus about how they really did this, nor about how much they broke the mold, so the information you provided is really cool. On Ryzen you should probably OC the Infinity Fabric as much as you can, then drop the speeds to match that and see how much timing you can pull. On Intel... do you think anyone will let you borrow a good i9? I saw a Der8auer video today and he was saying how his Intel chips are pretty crappy too, it seems to be an issue.
G'day Buildzoid, It would be interesting to see how low you can get the timings at 1:1 IF on AMD at 3600/3800MHz, I really like the look of the current Gen Crucial Ballistix RAM, I have my Editing PC with R9 3900X (PBO on), X570 Tomahawk & Ballistix running at their 3200MHz XMP, just gotta go back & find the OC vid you did to get to IF & RAM to 1800/3600 or 1900/3800 😁, This is not a 'nothing video', 'I really enjoy your Rambling about a product videos Buildzoid, especially on a 'Bad Day' (having quite a few this year), I find your voice very calming & I always learn something worthwhile about the technical side of PCs 🥰 I like how Crucial put the Instructions for the Padlock in the case 🤨, 'Crucial Help Line, How can I help', 'I can't get the padlock open for my Ballistix 5100 RAM, where are the instructions' 'They are in the case, Glad I could help'
The infinity fabric connects the two ccx's right? So couldn't the 3300x ignore the infinity fabric for really high performance as it only uses one ccx?
How about running these RAM kits with Ryzen 5000 series CPUs ? They should work @ 1-1-1 ratio, right ? November 5 isn't far from now, and you could get an earlier sample, couldn't you ?
Try it on a msi motherboard like you did it on that cheap 4gb 2133 stick, that you take to 4000 or something like. You always have luck with the mem overclock on intel platform on msi MB. Good luck, friend
first.
EDIT: Also I was right this 16Gb revB restricted to 8Gb.
no
Is the difference between your voltages to reach 5GHz and theirs to get to 5.1 because of the 8GB restricted?
Could you get the new B550-I Gaming and see how much better the memory layout is compared to the X570-I Gaming using this kit of memory?
You should clock it low enough to run on infinity fabric 1 to 1 with rediculus timing
no
Lets all thank Crucial for sending you these items to enjoy.
I mean yeah that's cool but hell, last time he was sent multiple kits of RAM he said he'd do videos on ...he did like 2 of the 20 kits and never did more videos 😂😂

Clock infinity fabric to 1700 and run them in 3:1 setup where ram can run 5100.
Only issue is, it's not quite that simple. DDR stands for "Double Data Rate", so the math is actually 5100 / 2 = 2550 MHz, so the IF would need to be clocked to either 2550 MHz for 1:1 ratio (likely impossible) or 1275 MHz for 2:1 ratio (so much slower).

What we need is 7200mhz RAM so we can run 2:1 FCLK. Maybe Ryzen 3rd gen has an adjustable divider instead of just 2:1?
5100 sounds fast, but I"m happy with 3800 CL14 FCLK 1900
What about testing it with a 3300X? No infinity fabric right?

They sent it to you cause you're smart as fuck.
Barely 120k subs but the amount of time you banged you head against the wall ram ocing made you worthy to them lol
sayin you do 5100 on ryzen, could it be clocked down and tighter timings to work better with the IF?

Need to see how the screwdriver works.
where can we see benchmarks ?
Only BZ can talk for 23 minutes about taking some memory sticks out of the box. These are wicked cool, though.
And out of those 23 minutes, exactly 1.7 seconds were allotted to the baggie of energy drink :P
holy crap a pelican case?!
The infinity fabric connects the two ccx's right? So couldn't the 3300x ignore the infinity fabric for really high performance as it only uses one ccx?
How about running these RAM kits with Ryzen 5000 series CPUs ? They should work @ 1-1-1 ratio, right ? November 5 isn't far from now, and you could get an earlier sample, couldn't you ?
BuildZoid is MY bestfriend:)
There's probably a decent overlap between the people that watch this channel and those that would buy this kit.
It's probably limited to reviewers that do XOC stuff only, so those who will just run XMP are ignored even if their subscriber count is much higher :P
Maybe they send you one for the reason, the people that follow your videos are most likely the audience to buy these kits.
14:00 "What do I run them on?" ... Ryzen 5000 maybe?
I really want to see how these sticks go underclocked with an every day setup for Ryzen 3000/5000
Try it on a msi motherboard like you did it on that cheap 4gb 2133 stick, that you take to 4000 or something like. You always have luck with the mem overclock on intel platform on msi MB. Good luck, friend
Since they do 5.1 anyway pls take them subzero and see how far they can go
Amazing, Beats anything by Galax, G.Skil or Corsair. It might as well be DDR4++ or close to DDR5
Hi Buildzoid
Is this kit actually XMP 5100
