Below, we installed it in the excellent EVGA Z170 Stinger mITX motherboard for an upcoming Lian Li PC-Q21 review, and it looks excellent!
Looks good, now on with the tests.
Test Set Up
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 then manually set the overclock when testing.
- Operating System – Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
- Processor: Intel i7-5820K
- Motherboard: Asus Rampage V Extreme
- Graphics: MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V
- Drives: Crucial BX100 500Gb SSD
- Cooler: Scythe Mugen MAX CPU Cooler
We pitched it against the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 2400Mhz Memory, but only to get some feedback on the Quad vrs. Dual Channel configuration. Two DIMMs should be better than four, but will half the channel bandwidth make any difference? We will post a few graphs after the main test results.
We have clocked the memory at stock speeds using XMP and a small overclock to 2600Mhz as both reports show.
Synthetic Tests
Real World Tests
- Battlefield 4
We run the gaming tests in 1080p so not to move the focus to the MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V, this should give feedback on the small physical configuration difference.
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White 16Gb DDR4 Memory Review
Package - 8.5
Performance - 9

Consumer Experience - 9
8.9
The Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White DDR4 memory kit is a handy little kit. Two 8Gb modules in white is just what the mITX system builder would want for their rig, 16Gb is a must these days and with two DIMM slots, there are some physical and logical limitations in what can be installed. Moreover, this is a white kit, with a white PCB, and we are big fans of white systems. RAM is a little harder to get in this colour, but Crucial have given a limited market another worthy option.
