A close up of the branding and timing information. With it’s subtle black matt finish and minimal lettering and stickers on the modules we think they look superb and would probably fit into any systems colour scheme. They do not compete with the Avexir Raiden Green Tesla 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 Kit plasma lighting effects, but if that is not your thing, this is a good alternative.
Test Setup
We used the Asus Rampage V Extreme Motherboard with its extreme range of memory settings as a test bed. We used the X.M.P. settings for all memory tests in this review. Selecting the XMP 3200Mhz profile for this set of tests, this was the only option available.
We have noticed the very latest Asus Rampage V Extreme Motherboard 3402 BIOS has reduced the XMP memory profiles available. Asus engineers may have instructed the new BIOS to only view Profile 1. Turbo was enabled by default, with 3.6Ghz as the CPU’s maximum speed.
Ballistix Elite 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz Memory Kit Review

The main thing going for the Ballistix Elite kit is the price, it's at the lower end of the 3200Mhz DDR4 pricing, despite being at the sharper end when it comes to performance. We have scored it the highest on price in our memory review criteria. We think this memory kit would fly if it were a 32Gb kit, and at its low pricing, it's more achievable, though only if you have an Intel i7 LGA2011-V3 setup, or equivalent Quad Channel system. So it's cheap, not too bad looking and fast, you need to consider this memory kit for your next build.
