Specifications and features

This series was already announced on the 7th of January.
“Crucial, Micron’s global brand of computer memory and storage, today announced its next-generation portfolio of high-performance Crucial Ballistix memory for gamers and extreme overclocking enthusiasts. Engineered using leading-edge Micron die and featuring an all-new design identity, the portfolio is comprised of two new lines: Crucial Ballistix and Crucial Ballistix MAX.

  • The completely redesigned portfolio takes the Crucial® Ballistix® legacy to new heights
  • Tuned Micron® die sets the standard for high performance and extreme-performance memory
  • Modernized heat spreader designs add thermal management and bold aesthetics
  • RGB options feature 8 zones with 16 brilliant LEDs.

  

 

 

Crucial Ballistix memory line is offering a range of speeds from 2400MHz to 3600MHz and densities of 4GB to 32GB, the new Ballistix line features a modernized aluminum heat spreader in black, red, or white. RGB options include 8 zones with 16 LEDs and can be customized and controlled using popular RGB software. Crucial® Ballistix gaming memory is designed for high-performance overclocking and is ideal for gamers and performance enthusiasts looking to push beyond standard limits. With an anodized aluminum heat spreader in black, white, or red and XMP 2.0 support for automatic overclocking, Crucial Ballistix memory is engineered for the latest AMD and Intel platforms. RGB modules are controlled using popular RGB software, while SODIMM modules offer speed and compact thermal management for laptops. The Crucial Ballistix lineup is available in desktop (DIMM) or laptop (SODIMM)* form factors and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
The new Crucial Ballistix and Ballistix Max lines replace Micron’s existing suite of Ballistix Sport, Tactical, and Elite products.”

Enough with the marketing stuff. Let’s see 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, Z11B type) like, for example, the Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 3200 MHz 2x8 GB. Will that enable some overclocking? We’ll see on the following pages.

  

Manufacturer:

Crucial

Model:

BL2K16G32C16U4B

Frequency:

DDR4-3200

Basic timings:

16-18-18-36

Capacity:

2 kits of 32 GB (16 GB x2)

Voltage:

1.35 V

PCB Type:

8 layers

Form Factor:

288-pin DIMM

Warranty:

Limited Lifetime

  

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).
