Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB (32GB) 2666 MHz DDR4
New aesthetics with nice performance 32 GB memory kit

We review all-new Ballistix Tactical Tracer DDR4 RGB 32GB 2666 MHz (quad/dual-channel) from Ballistix (Crucial subsidiary). It's not the fastest at 2667 MHz, but it is a 32GB kit that can be tweaked over 3000 MHz easily. It's pretty cool with a new configurable RGB implementation and runs XMP 2.0 memory profiles on Intel platforms as well. Join us as we review not some nice bars of memory, it's fitted with a new style and design as well.

Then there's gamer grade memory for the high-end enthusiasts, which is what we will look at as Crucial, well, Ballistix has released their Tactical Tracer RGB memory. The new RGB series is hip and trendy alright, it increases the price of your average memory kit. 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 RGB bling. And 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 a notch of RGB and a cool heat spreader. With speeds starting at 2666 MT/s, Ballistix Tactical Tracer DDR4 RGB memory allows your also to monitor memory temperatures in real time and manipulate RGB lighting with the Ballistix M.O.D. (Memory Overview Display) Utility software. 

Proper good memory, with more 'normal' 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 4x16 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 and X99/X299, obviously with four 4GB DIMMs, ideal for a dual and quad-channel setup.
