Excellent for overclocking
These memories are really great. I was able to get them to run at 3700mhz without changing latencies.I also was able to have them run at 3400mhz with stock latencies at 1.2v.

Great RAM, has worked great for years
These sticks were shipped fast and have worked perfectly for years, and I think they were out of stock of the 8gb pair and I got pair of 16gb instead. Only catch was the bigger pair did not have RGB, but it is no problem for me, I prefer the extra gigs anyway.

Excellent overclocking potential with great flair
Right out of the packaging this RAM looks really nice in my hands. Good shape, the heatspreaders are solid and the sticks have a low profile clearance. Very attractive and looks great inside my case. RAM clicked right into the slots with no issues.Turning on my computer, I POSTed and went right to my desktop. Nice! Default RGB is a rainbow wave that looks pretty cool. Quite bright and vibrant but not overly so, just perfect imo. LED's are spread out nicely. I decided to change the RGB's using MSI's MysticLight software. No issues there, settings worked perfectly and stayed after reboot.To get the speed advertised I booted into the bios and enabled my XMP profile (using an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max MOBO, for reference). I went to POST with no issues and it ran 3200MHz CL16 timings, as advertised. Did some MemTest64 for about 15 minutes, zero errors👍Happy with the timings and speed but still curious I decided to do some manual overclocking. This essentially consists of going beyond the advertised speeds by adjusting frequency and tightening the timings in the BIOS manually instead of using a default XMP profile. Wow, I was impressed. For reference here, I am using a Ryzen 5 3600.These sticks of RAM are Micron E-die, known to have great overclocking potential and be of excellent bin quality (its good silicon). With this processor and my aforementioned mobo, I was able to actually achieve 3600MHz and CL15 timings and speed 100% stable! This is with only 1.39V as well. Quite impressive IMO! Zero errors on the MemTest again. Insane value considering the premium price of comparable 3600 MHz sticks (usually coming with worse timings too). Im confident with more voltage I could even achieve CL14 stable, but im quite happy with this.I've included a picture of the RAM in my system and my current timings/frequency. In the CPU-Z picture, note that because it's DDR RAM (double data rate) we multiply that figure by two to get 3600MHz.With this overclocking potential and the beauty of the RGB and design, this RAM is an unbelievable value and a 10/10 choice. Whether you are a plug and play type or an overclocker, I highly encourage you to purchase this. Fast RAM for a gaming rig or any kind of productivity with a great price. Great product Crucial!PS: Sorry my pictures aren't properly aligned!

Outstanding product, great performance, beautiful RGB and it's MADE IN THE USA!!!!!!!
Outstanding product, great performance, beautiful RGB and it's MADE IN THE USA! I purposely picked this product, because it's one the few semiconductor products made in the US. Made at the Micron factory in BOISE in the great state of IDAHO, BABY!!! I have four 16 GB sticks that put me 64GB for my rid and my only complaint is that I couldn't stick more on this motherboard. Pro Tip: I personally wouldn't buy anything over 3200 MHz, because most motherboards and CPU architectures are bottle-necked at that transfer rate and you won't getting any better performance. Hopefully the architecture improves, but until then it's a waste of money (even to future proof). The form factor on these sticks are solid, high quality and it comes in RED! The RGB colors are brilliant and stand out in the center of my mother board. I may have paid a little more than the cheap foreign-made versions, but it's worth every penny. They look great; performance and function is perfect; and best of all I'm not supporting some government that hates us!!! 5 stars! I will be a repeat customer!!!

Hit XMP profile out of the box. Over all, I like them. LED Animation is not the nicest I have seen.
Got this in prep for a Ryzen 5600X upgrade in a few month when prices come down. Was able to hit the XMP profile on first boot.Neutral Side: No real performance increase on a R2600, over 3200c16 Corsair sticks they are replacing, but I expect this to change with the better memory manager on the 5600X... I also didnt mess with timings yet, but I expect to be able to tighten up timings a bit after some effort.The down side:I do not like the MOD software... at all. I dont like loading it at startup, and I dont like the resource hit while its running... even if it's just 1% with dram LED synching off. and I reeeaaaaalllly dont like the LED animation code.I might have to make my own animations. I have a little experience with sk6812 and WS2812 drivers... but that's a whole other adventure.PS XPG had some of the nicest stock LED animations I have seen... I just couldnt get it to work at XMP speeds on a b550 MB... weird right?-Ryzen 2600 (no OC)-MSI B550M Bazooka (latest BIOS 01-04-2021)Over all I like them.EDIT: I can not get 4 sticks to hit XMP2 on my MB (3600c16). However 2x8 is stable at 3600c15/17/15/52. AND 4x8 3200c14 is stable and I get amazing performance.With 2x8GB @ 3600c16, r2600 CPU score on Time Spy is around 5900. At 4x8GB @ 3200c14 Time Spy is 6150ish with a fclk/uclk of 1:1.So far I'm happy

RECENSIONE COMPLETA - PERFETTE PER RYZEN
=== INDICE DELLA RECENSIONE ===- PREMESSA- SPECIFICHE- TEST (con aggiornamento)- CONCLUSIONIPREMESSA:La mia build è composta da un AMD Ryzen 5 1600x a 3966MHz sfortunato, montato su ASUS ROG B350-F.Il mio processore è sfortunato perché oltre a non riuscire a rimanere stabile al 100% a 4GHz, mi ha fatto dannare il suo controller di memoria. In 2 anni ho cambiato 4 volte la RAM a causa della mia insoddisfazione: ho provato delle HyperX Predator da 3200MHz CL16 ma solo attivando l'XMP a 3000MHz ho trovato la stabilità.Successivamente ho provato delle GSkill sempre da 3200MHz con chip Samsung b-die: ho beccato purtroppo dei banchetti con le memorie sicuramente fallate perché nemmeno a 2133MHz erano stabili.Non mi sono arreso ed ho comprato un kit sempre Samsung b-die ma di TeamGroup ovvero le Dark Pro da 3600Mhz CL16: sicuramente overkill per il processore ma stavo perdendo le speranze di raggiungere i famosi 3200MHz. Ho lavorato parecchio per tentare di raggiungere i 3200MHz anche alzano i timings manualmente.Un benchmark perfetto per le RAM è TM5 di 1usmus: dopo 30 cicli con 0 errori è possibile confermare la stabilità.Con loro ho passato dei mesi favolosi perché sono riuscito ad impostarle a 3133MHz 14-14-14-34-54 raggiungendo ottime prestazioni: avendo il questo periodo bisogno di più RAM ed anche RGB, ho voluto provare questo nuovo modello di Crucial, curioso di provare il loro chip.Non mi sono limitato a comprare 2 banchi ma ben 4 in modo da popolare tutti gli slot sulla scheda madre.SPECIFICHE:Queste nuove RAM di Crucial, montano un chip Micron e-die da 19nm come le Ballistix Sport LT.Non posso parlare della versione MAX che oltre ad avere un dissipatore di calore di altissima qualità, hanno una frequenza di 4000MHz 18-19-19-39, perciò parlerò della versione NON MAX.Confrontando le nuove RAM da 3600MHz con le Ballistix Sport LT da 3200MHz, queste nuove RAM oltre ad essere RGB, hanno i timings simili in XMP tenendo conto del vantaggio di frequenza.Per i curiosi lascio i timings con XMP: CAS 16, RCD 18, RP 18, RAS 38, RC 58, FAW 38, RRDS 6 e RRDL 9.Per altri dettagli, ho caricato una foto di Thaiphoon Burner.Hanno un dissipatore di calore anodizzato in linea con gli altri produttori di RAM di colore Nero, Bianco o Rosso.Non sono molto alte perciò possono essere inserite in sistemi piccoli e con spazio limitato.Gli RGB sono molto luminosi e ben fatti: avendo una scheda madre Asus, ho testato gli effetti tramite Aura Sync.Le RAM non verranno rilevate dal software, se prima non scaricate l'ultima versione disponibile.Oltre Aura Sync, queste RAM sono compatibili anche con MSI Mystic Light e Gigabyte RGB Fusion.TEST:Se avete letto la premessa, sapere che non sono MAI riuscito ad essere stabile a 3200MHz.Solo ed esclusivamente per curiosità e con 0 speranze, ho impostato i 3200MHz 14-15-15-36-56 ed ho lanciato 30 cicli di TM5... STABILE AL 100%. Dopo 2 anni, con 4 banchi di RAM per di più, solo riuscito a raggiungere la frequenza che volevo: i timings sono leggermente più alti delle Dark Pro di TeamGroup, ma poco male perchè su Ryzen è molto più importante la frequenza. In foto anche un test con Aida64 con il test di memoria.Sicuramente possono salire sopra i 3600MHz con la build adatta, guadagnando buone performance.AGGIORNAMENTO - 27/02/2020Mi sono messo ad ottimizzare i timing secondari cercando di migliorare ancora le performance.Come le Ballistix Sport LT, è possibile migliorare le prestazioni facilmente grazie al loro chip.Avendo un Ryzen di prima generazione con una scheda madre B350, sono completamente soddisfatto.CONCLUSIONI:Consiglierei queste RAM?Assolutamente si. Oltre ad essere fantastiche per Ryzen, sono convinto che per Ryzen 3000 siano perfette, perché hanno delle specifiche in grado di tirare tutta la potenza delle nuove CPU.Non le comprerei per PC low budget, ma andrei ad occhi chiusi sulle Ballistix Sport LT.SPERO DI ESSERE STATO UTILE :D

Amazing straight out of the box
This review is for 32Gb kit of 2x16 (I've purchased 2 of them for a total of 64 GB RAM)Amazing value RAM and worked amazing straight out of the box with XMP on 3200 Mhz. Since then I've been able to overclock it mildly to @3600 CL16-18-18-36 @1.38v in my new PC build consisting:-X570 MSI MPG GAMING PRO WI-FI (latest bios v1.6)-AMD Ryzen 7 3700x (@4425 Mhz all cores @1.3625v stable)-PSU - HX1000 80+ platinum-GPU - 5700XT XFX THICK III Ultra-256gb NMVE boot drive + 1000 GB 2.5ssd + 2000 GB 3.5 HDD-64 GB RAM @3200 ??!!??!! (@3600 with new Crucial one)My original RAm purchase was Corsair Vengeance LPX 2kits of 2x16@3200, BUT I've never been able to achieve this, neither with XMP on or manual play with the timings. The maximum speed that I've achieved was 2800. I've tried everything suggested on all manufacturing website from MSI and Corsair and still nothing. I've been forced to replace my RAM so after a short research I've ordered Crucial Ballistix 2x 2x16GB @3200 and worked amazing straight out of the box with XMP on. Since then I've been able to overclock it mildly to @3600 CL16-18-18-36 @1.38vObviously there is a BLINK to it, I mean RGB witch is quite bright and is working good enough on my MB, but TBH I've bought the RGB version just to have it but just tried it and never used it. Not because isn't good, but because I'm not RGB person (prefer nice and clean build).Hopefully, this is helpful for anyone! Stay Safe!

x570
Hi just a quick review to say i just got this ram Crucial Ballistix RGB BL2K8G36C16U4BL 3600 MHz and its working fine on Asus tuf x570 gaming pro wifi motherboard. running at 3600. will update once ive played with it a bit. nice looking and works good.little update: just looked on taiphoon burner and it states this is micron E-Die, just in case anyone was wondering.Quick update. Im just new to overclocking, but i tryed a bit today using Thaiphoon Burner and Ryzens Dram calculator, (I have a Ryzen 5 3600x) and i have it clocked at 14 14 18 14 32 and its running fine and was easy to do. I could probably go higher in frequency but imm happy with it at 3600 for the time being.Hope this helps someone :)

Attractive, relatively low profile, works out of the box with Ryzen
The media could not be loaded. An amazing offer for CL16 3600Mhz RAM. The same specs from Corsair cost nearly £200, so this for half the price is great value! Works perfectly with Ryzen 3rd Generation (Ryzen 5 3600), with no issue enabling the XMP profile under D.O.C.P. on an Asus ROG B550 Motherboard. No stability issues with gaming, general use, and on DRAM calculator test. Will see if I can tighten the timings on this a bit for even better performance. This is also quite low profile compared to other RGB brands, e.g. Corsairs Vengeance RGB, so it should also be broadly compatible with every air cooler.This is one of Crucial's newest releases for DDR4 RAM, being under a year old. It uses Micron's E-Die DRAM chips, which are one of the highest quality available (like Samsung B-Die) and which also hold the world record for RAM overclocking. So this is great for both casual plug-and-play users, as well as those who are looking to overclock.I highly recommend this set for anyone looking to get Ryzen-compatible RAM with excellent RGB effects!

Brilliant Ram, Brilliant RBG, Great Overclocker!
The media could not be loaded. Insane Value.The price of this ram is nuts, prolly because its white, and to be fair I was pretty nervous about it, but for the money I was like, yolo.It actually looks more silver when fitted. Which actually makes it tie in with my motherboard and my corsair aio cover.RBG Wise the software worked perfect, monitors temps etc, the colours are super bright, the effects are actually really good to be honest. The amount of stock effects and customisation is pretty huts considering. I've tried a few rbg rams, including corsair, and I'd say even though it is yet another app, it's by far one of the best rbg apps I've tried, entirely blows RGB Fusion out the water, easily on par or better than icue.Performance wise, these kits actually booted (my motherboard didn't detect a change in ram for some reason) and booted up at 3733mhz at c15 and 14/15 timings... These replaced a 16GB 4400 kit so although a BSOD I was pretty amazed.It's running C16 16 16 16 32 atm, at 3733mhz with 1.35v which is nuts. I've not fiddled with the ram yet so timings could be even better.I'm very very shocked and pleasantly surprised. Couldn't help but recommend these to any AMD user. (I'm on a 3700x with an auros elite x570).
