Today I’ll be reviewing one of their latest DDR3 products – the Ballistix 240-Pin DDR3 PC3-12800 with integrated temperature sensors. Yes – you did read that right, these dimms have built in temperature sensors! This is certainly new to me, and as far as I know, not offered by any other manufacturer at a consumer level.
Today we'll be looking at a conservative PC3-12800 or 1600MHz DDR kit. Maybe we'll get a surprise when it comes to testing the kit. Before we get that far, though, let's have a look at the package and the modules themselves.
Heute gibt es auf ocinside.de wieder einen interessanten DDR3 Speichertest. Dieses mal wurden die neuen Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer DDR3-1600 Module getestet, die neben schnellen Timings und hohen Frequenzen im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ein besonderes High-Light bieten. LEDs auf den Modulen und nahe den Pins beleuchten diese Speichermodule und nahezu den gesamten PC in unterschiedlichen Farben, wobei wir diese LEDs ja bereits von den mehrfach getesteten Crucial Ballistix Tracer Modulen kennen. Neu ist bei diesen Smart Tracer Modulen, daß die RAM LEDs sogar mit einem BallistixUtility gesteuert und programmiert werden können und die Software zudem noch die Temperatur der DDR3 Speichermodule auslesen kann. Letzteres ist vor allem beim Overclocking der Speichermodule sehr interessant und für uns ein Grund mehr, diese Module ordentlich zu übertakten. Schauen wir uns im aktuellen Testbericht an, was das Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer PC3-12800 CL8 4GB DDR3 Kit neben der farbigen Beleuchtung noch zu bieten hat.
The Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer 6GB (3x2GB) PC3-12800 kit is very stable and offers solid performance. The extra features that Crucial have added to their standard Ballistix sticks not only give the consumer more bang for the buck, but make this a very attractive kit, considering that they're priced right in line with other 1600MHz triple channel kits.
The Crucial Ballistix Smart Tracer DDR3 PC3-12800 BL2KIT25664ST1608OB memory kit comes with two interesting features: fully customizable lighting system, along with thermal sensors that can be monitored via the M.O.D. software utility.
Let’s take a look on this 2 GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) memory module with a bunch of programmable LEDs and a thermal sensor.
I didn't think we'd ever see anything too fancy from the company, though, but over the years we've seen the Ballistix series which has grown to include a few different series' within that. The latest is the Smart Tracer modules that carry that LED Tracer lighting, but in a smart way. We say 'smart way' as the company has introduced the new Memory Overview Display software (or M.O.D). We'll get into this soon, but let's first have a closer look at the actual kit of RAM we're dealing with.
Last month we reviewed the Crucial Ballistix Tracer Black just to recap some of the price drops we've seen on memory lately and what is available out there in the DDR3 realm. In the introduction to that piece we discussed how Crucial had unveiled a new variety of their Tracer memory at the 2011 CES and that we hoped to have a sample of this product available soon. Today I am happy to present the Ballistix Smart Tracer for review.
With DDR4 prices being driven down in preparation for the launch of a mainstream chipset supporting the memory type, now can be considered a good time to bag a high density quad-channel kit.
Combining a quartet of 8GB DIMMs in a quad-channel configuration with an operating frequency of 2400MHz and CL16 timings, how will Crucial’s Ballistix Sport set of memory perform in our testing?
As true as it was several years ago it stands today, the cheapest way to increase a system's speed is to increase the amount of ram up to a certain amount. The magic amount used to be 4GB and it seems to be increasing to around 8-16GB especially with Microsoft pushing 64bit. Fortunately Crucial has put out a 8GB sport kit with surprising results.
