The first set of results are from the AIDA64 Engineer application using the Memory Read, Write and Copy tests. We have included a selection of other memories and their speed and timings. All settings were achieved with XMP BIOS options, including both speeds for the same modules. This test, though synthetic, is one of our favourite tests, it can give a very good idea of how the memory MHz is influencing the system.
The Crucial Ballistix Tactical 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz kit is the clear winner, but that should be the outcome due to the higher clock speed and the larger memory size. It’s important to note that with the X99 motherboard this is a Quad-Channel test and in theory the memory bus is twice as likely to use the higher clock speeds and the increased memory capacity. It is good to see though, and a good indicator of the performance jump you will see from this 32Gb kit.

Crucial Ballistix Tactical 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz Memory is a decent 32Gb kit. With the 3000Mhz speeds and the relatively tight timings compared to the others in the test, it offers good speed, capacity and response times for your system. Paired with a balanced system, this will only serve you well, however if you want to upgrade your system, the Crucial Ballistix Tactical 32GB 3000Mhz Kit is enough of a performance jump over a 2400Mhz kit to not notice the difference.
