Specifications and features
This series was announced as early as in 2015. “Designed for mainstream users who simply want to get more performance out of their systems, Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 memory delivers fast speeds and increased bandwidth. A new addition to the current Ballistix Sport DDR4 lineup, Sport LT modules feature a covert digital camo design and the integrated heat spreader. Whether gamers want plug-and-play installation or Intel XMP 2.0 profiles to achieve DDR4 speeds of 2400 MT/s, Ballistix Sport LT memory delivers seamless, affordable performance.”
Speed. Style. Sport. Get more out of your memory.
Designed for performance enthusiasts, gamers, and anyone who simply wants to get more out of their system, Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 memory helps you do just that. Give your processor the resources it needs to perform and make your computer faster and more responsive.
Make your system go Ballistix.
Memory is fun when it’s faster, when it’s stylish, and when it helps your system perform at a higher level. Compared to standard DDR4 memory, that’s exactly what Ballistix Sport is engineered to do. Get faster speeds and run demanding applications with ease. Multitask at will with increased bandwidth. And strike first with better latencies and reduced load times.
Install with ease.
Getting more out of your system should be easy — and that’s exactly how we engineered Ballistix Sport memory. Using cutting-edge technology, intuitive module design, Intel® XMP 2.0 profiles and more, we designed Ballistix Sport with the sole intent of creating affordable, easy-to-use performance memory. Installation is a cinch: just plug-and-play, and get ready to win with little to no BIOS configuration.
Go covert.
With a stealth digital camo design and the integrated heat spreader, Ballistix Sport LT comes in red, white, and gray.
Micron quality: Pro gamer reliability
Ballistix memory, a brand of Micron Technology, is built and tested from start to finish as part of a major DRAM manufacturer, and as such delivers a high level of performance for those needing it most in gaming applications. For more than 40 years, we’ve engineered old-school DDR memory all the way to Ballistix DDR4 modules, which deliver the performance that pro eSports players rely on to win. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, a hardcore community of fans, and a dedicated gamer support team, Ballistix memory is ready to take your in-game performance to the next level.*
Ok, after that marketing stuff - we can take a look at what we have on the table. First up is Thaiphoon Burner, which is a very good utility for checking the basic data on a RAM die. According to the program, the chips under the “hood” are the Micron E-Die (in the 19nm process). Will that enable some overclocking – we’ll see on the next pages.

As for the price, the MSRP is about 60 EUR per module. This is a reasonable price for 3200MHz memory with CL16. The chips are covered with a heatsink to ensure that the memory and PCB maintain a similar temperature, providing the best performance. You put the sticks in, enable the XMP profile (which is, in fact, the industry standard, and it’s hard to spot any RAM without this feature nowadays), reboot, and that’s it. Traditionally, we’ll kick off the review with some photo-shooting first, and then move on to the practical part (benchmark/games).
