Above is the recorded SPD reading of the Crucial Ballistix Sport. This setting was dialled in and validated by passing through all of our benchmarks and a 4 hour Prime95 run.


Above is a screenshot of the XMP profile loaded onto the modules. At 2400MHz it isn't the quickest kit at stock being 'middle of the road. Many kits are now hitting 3000MHz with a couple of kits being produced en-mass that are faster still.


Overclocking the kit was very easy.the kit ran quite happilly with no adjustments at 2666MHz and with a minor voltage adjustment it ran at 2800MHz. We would have been happy with this result form a 2400MHz kit but the Ballistix had more still to give us and with a safe 1.3v vDIMM dialled into the settings we hit a stable 3000MHz. This will put a grin on your face as at this speed the kit will save you quite a lot of money should you not mind running the memory kit out of specification. Great stuff!
