Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Don't overspend on these over corsair kits. Dell quotes me $200 for a single 16gb stick of hyper x dell proprietary ram. Other benefits of the balistix ram is it's fairly low profile.

Not only is that an absurdly good die (second only to perhaps samsung b die), but this is also a particularly good bin of that amazing die. No errors. Thank god for that lol.

Cons

If i try to install both sticks, the system fails to boot. Not recommended for b550.

Pc refuses to post anything past 3200. V just to get my system to boot. Comes with an xmp profile but it causes system instability and constant crashing.

Quality

Very happy with the purchase, if you can find these at the stock price and have an apu cpu it's well worth the purchase.

May consider trying 4000 mhz, but being happy with the stability, not sure i want to do anything that messes that up.

Price

The price was very competitive with other brands.

Great rams and i got them at a deeply discounted price too.

Sadly this balistix ram is discontinued i'm told and the price has skyrocketed.

Hopefully the price will come back down at some point.

Packaging/appearance

Arrived on time, very protective packaging, and works as intended.

Competitiveness

Crucial ballistix laptop ram has also been good in my experience and is still a fair buy right now.

Relative introduced me to crucial ballistix when upgrading my previous rig in 2020.

I installed two sticks on in a ryzen 7 build in a mini case.

It matches well with existing dell 16g dram with no issue ( it has a 3166 hmz chip ).
