Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 Quad-Channel Memory Review

Closing Thoughts

DDR4 s still in its infancy, its had a long way to go in terms of performance. Crucial refuses to let the relatively new technology slow its progress because with the Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 Crucial released a performance monster at a very competitive price that is capable of a 20% overclock while still remaining under 1.5 volts. Compared to other kits the $200-$230 price tag is steep but so is any other DDR4 kit in the market right now. As DDR4 is adopted into mainstream computers for enthusiasts and professionals I know Crucial will be a top choice for many users. Where I see the Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 falling behind is for the enthusiast market that s in it for looks and love to showcase their rigs, for those types a of users I see Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 not being very attractive with its low profile heat-sink. Nevertheless, I have shown that even with a low profile heat sink temperatures are great and the performance is even better. The only platform currently supporting DDR4 is the X-99 chipset for Haswell-E processors, when new platform are launched and you are in the market for DDR4 I recommend you pick up a Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4-2400 quad channel kit, the performance is there and price compared to other kits cannot get any better.
