On other hand they already have many other brand and despite "ballistix" followed us since long time, gamer doesn't put hand in the PC no more... (and don't know what are inside the box either).
The budget kings, I bought 4 sticks (32Gb) of 3600Mhz when upgrading my PC on discount for pretty much half the price of the next cheapest and inferior options here in Australia and have been running them overclocked @ 3800Mhz @ 14CL @ 1.495v

Such a shame, they were always great when it comes to the price/performance ratio.
I been using Crucial memory for nearly 10 years, and with my current new PC i went with them again. Heck, even all my SSDs are Crucial.
Also liked their heatspreader size, making them Noctua NH-D15 friendly, everything else on the market is king sized these days. And there is NO WAY i'm gonna buy Corsair LPX, had my experience with Corsair already.
it really sucks cuz Samsung & SK Hynix don't sell directly like Crucial used to (which was why price & performance).
just when you wanted ddr5 to go lower in price...
@TheDeeGee
so Corsair makes the chips? lol
ignoring that the MB listed Gskill (and recommended by all forums im in), never worked on my x570,
not even stock/jedec, never worked with (ryzen) XMP,
but the not listed corsair LPX works perfectly out of the box, as well as tweaked.

Any GSkill above ripjaw 4 (so the camo, value and aegis doesn't work as only jetec) work out of the box, of course the Intel only doesn't work either.
Same with some Kingston, and some Corsair, mostly on the less expensive set.
Also GSkill have a complete range of AMD memory at the same price than the equivalent "not AMD compatible" (the royal are very very good and still less expensive than Corsair equivalent, the Flare X that are max at 3200 CL14 work very fine too and OC at 3600 very well too)
And last point with my last bios update of my asrock one of the "new thing" is that even those "not compatible with ryzen" now work with my X570 (tested with GSkill value ram from my wife's PC).[/USER]
@rl66
fact: for RJ V it didnt (on GB boards), unless vdimm was at 1.35, just to use jedec speeds.
and no, there was no difference if it was the ryzen version (had it exchanged thinking it was the chip), or intel.
only ram i had in 20y, that needed more voltage for stock/needed increased just to be able to post.
and sticks were not defective, as i could pass 1000% HCI after i got them to work.
and having paid +110$ for the RJ V as CL18, and 95$ for LPX CL14, i know what i will keep using..
Ballistix was a poor seller compared to similar offerings from Gskill and Corsair, theres also the fact that quite often they were without XMP profiles and only operated at the cpu's jdec compatibility.

Pretty sure all recent Ballistix had XMP. Even my old Low Profile kit in my old Z87 machine had XMP.

I could be mistaking them with some Kingston HyperX. Fury.
It was the Kingston Fury, they released PlugnPlay dimms that only worked properly when installed on IMC's natively capable of their rated speed.
