From the manufacturer

Speed. Style. Sport. Get more out of your memory.
Micron Quality: Pro Gamer Reliability.

How do I set the memory speed?

If your system supports XMP, the easiest way to optimize your Ballistix memory is to enable XMP in your system’s UEFI/BIOS. Please refer to your owner’s manual for instructions specific to your system.

Can I mix Ballistix memory with another brand of memory?

In most cases, you can mix manufacturer parts, however, all memory in the system will run at the slowest performance of the installed parts. To maximize performance, we recommend that you install your memory in matched pairs.

My Ballistix memory is not running at the rated speed. What is going on?

To optimize your Ballistix memory, you will need to enable XMP in your system’s UEFI/BIOS. Please refer to your owner’s manual for instructions specific to your system.

Will the Ballistix memory work with my CPU cooler?

Some CPU coolers will restrict access to the memory slots on certain motherboards. Our Ballistix modules vary in height, depending on the model. We highly recommend confirming the amount of space you have available.

I just installed my memory and my system will not boot. What do I do?

When a system doesn’t boot after a memory upgrade, it is usually because the memory isn’t fully pressed into the slot. For DIMM memory, press memory until the retaining clips click.

    Slapped this in a Gigabyte A320M-S2H mother board and paired it with a Ryzen 3 2200G. Overclocked itself automatically at 2667mhz with the XMP profile. Works awesome, looks awesome. Would totally buy again, and plan to, in order to upgrade to 16gb.

    Great ram for a reasonable price! Looks great in my black and red build and performed as it should. I set it to 2666mhz in the bios on stock voltage and it has worked perfectly! The heat spreader is not very obtrusive and is not tall making it good for sff cases. Overall great ram and Ballistix will definitely get my money next time I need ram.

    This is the best ram stick I've ever owned. I literally only had one of these in my computer and it ran 8+ chrome tabs plus Elder Scrolls online at 90% usage with no slowing. So I ordered another stick and went to 16gb and WOW. I am sitting at 30-50% usage with 8+ chrome tabs open playing videos, google play music and running Farcry 5. Efficient!

    Bought this ram to put on a new AsRock B350 Pro4 motherboard. It was one of the lowest priced ram when I bought it. Overclocked to 2933 mhz and running fine with daily usage. Worked so well that I bought another stick for a total of 16 gb (Both now running at 2933 mhz).

    I grabbed this for my new Asus ROG Strix system board for a new Ryzen system I'm building as a media center PC.

    I expected no issues, since the board supported such a wide range of RAM speeds.

    Went in fine, registered fine so the system recognized it, and I had nothing but issues. Apps that ran only when windowed, but if I minimized them, they would abnormally end. Media player lockups while watching videos... I troubleshot too long though with the CPU and system board since some of the self tests they did showed issues with them, and by the time I ruled them out, I couldn't return this anymore.

    But I was able to get my hands on the same company's other product,      Ballistix Sport A.T. 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 3000 MT/s (PC4-24000) SR x8 DIMM 288-Pin Gaming Memory - BLS2K8G4D30CESTK  and saw the same issue with those.

    Digging deeper turned out that there's apparently a lot of issues with AMD graphics chips, and I found I can lessen most of them by reducing the RAM speed on the system board to 2133... While it is not perfect yet, it's much better.

    So the company has some good RAM and at decent prices.

    Shipped very fast and arrived in great condition. Just upgraded to DDR4 MB and RAM and had a cheap 8GB (4GB x 2) at 1333MHz to get by until this upgrade. Popped this in at 2400MHz and Far Cry 5 is running beautifully! Liked it so much I went ahead and ordered a second stick.

    I got this stick because my friend an IT technician told me that most software isn't made to use more than 4 gigs of ram. So this is it for my ram. So far it is working perfectly. Just to be clear this card is DDR 4. It will not fit in DDR 3 socket.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Ram
    Reviewed in Canada on November 24, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This Ram is extremely fast for gaming. Not only does the red stick of ram look nice in your computer, but It also performs well too. The speed of this ram is around 2666 MHz but when comparing with faster speeds such as 3000 MHz, there is hardly any difference.

    The single-channel ram is extremely good by itself but I will most likely get a second stick later on for better memory distribution. The price of this ram during the purchase was 42 dollars. The value per gigabyte at this price is around 5 dollars which is amazing.

    I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking to build a budget gaming PC. The ram performs amazing. Overall, I rate this product 5 stars out of 5.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ballistix Sport RAM Product Review
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    The RAM was really easy to install and Looked great in the case. It's fast and affordable and is 8 GB per slot so it doesn't consume all the ram space for your PC, since it's better to have two 8 GB ram which is what I got then one 16 GB ram.
    I also slightly overclocked the speed of the ram without much problem, so you could also definitely overclock the RAM speed. PS: don't overclock the speed too much, it might damage your RAM/ motherboard, Check youtube/ research more about it if unsure on how much to overclock.

    Pro
    - Overclockable
    - Cheap and affordable.
    - Fast and reliable
    - Looks great in your PC
    - Variety of colour to choose depending on your PC

    Cons
    - Difference in price ranges on different colour.

    Product Recommendation
    - I would definitely recommend the product.
