Ballistix Sport AT Gaming memory (32GB) 3000 MHz DDR4
TUF aesthetics offering decent performance for a 32 GB memory kit

We review all-new Ballistix Sport AT Gaming memory, this is a DDR4 RGB 32GB 3000 MHz kit (quad/dual-channel) from Ballistix (Crucial subsidiary). It might not be the fastest kit at 3000 MHz and a CL17, but it is a 32GB kit that can be tweaked to 3333 MHz quite easily. It's TUF, meaning the heat spreader has been aligned with ASUS TUF Sabertooth motherboards (2018 models) as well as offering full support on these boards. Of course, it has XMP 2.0 memory profiles on Intel and AMD platforms as well. Join us as we review the 32GB kit, we'll also test it out on an AMD Ryzen platform.

Ballistix has released their TUF branded memory series. Branding always adds a price premium, ergo this round Ballistix figured, let's just go for 2666 and 3000 MHz kits. On the Intel platform, the performance hit or benefit will not be that big, while in return you receive a little more value. With memory prices still being sky-high that might be a very plausible idea, right? Grab some awesome memory, give it a black PCB and apply. With speeds starting at 2666 MT/s.

  • Module densities up to 16GB
  • Speeds up to 3000 MT/s
  • Battle-tested design and performance
  • Unique new heat spreader ideal for TUF Gaming Alliance builders
  • Easy plug-and-play installation
  • Limited lifetime warranty

Proper good memory, with more 'okay' latency timings, yet available in many clock frequencies. For our test kit, Ballistix supplied a dual/quad channel (4xDIMM) DDR4 kit rated at 2666 MHz with a modest CL16. They will offer these kits starting at this frequency running up-to DDR4-3000MHz in 2x8 and 2x16 configurations combinations to address dual and quad-channel memory configurations. DDR4 memory modules, you can choose from plenty and honestly, cheap but dull all-green Kingston Value memory, for example, works absolutely fine. Then there are regular mainstream DIMMs, then step it up a little and, say, high-frequency memory is a hint faster and often cooler looking inside your PC with the fancy designs and heat-spreaders. Being Ballistix these DIMMs will all receive a lifetime warranty as well as being XMP 2.0 compatible, enabled with a simple XMP profile in your BIOS.

This memory is optimized for Intel platforms on Z170/Z270/X370/Z390 and X99/X299, obviously with four 8GB DIMMs, ideal for a dual and quad-channel setup.
