Crucial Ballistix MAX – Memory Review
This is the Crucial Ballistix MAX that I bought recently. I had bought it for $1,074.04 on Newegg.com but I originally found this memory on the Crucial website. The motherboard that I used for this memory was the ASUS TUF Gaming X570-PRO.
The amount of RAM this memory has is 16GB (2 x 8GB) and the generation of the memory is DDR4. The bandwidth is 5100 and if you find the access time it is 0.000000004 nanoseconds. This memory is Non-ECC which also makes it non-Parity so it has 8 chips. This memory is dual channel and has a CAS latency of 19. The warrantee on this memory is lifetime for parts and labor. The speed is at 5100 (OC) and works fantastically for my motherboard.
This memory is rated a 4 out of 5 eggs on Newegg and it continues to show that it should be rated a 4 out of 5.

XPG Spectrix D50 RGB (Kingston/HyperX) – RAM Review
First thing to note when purchasing the XPG Spectrix D50 RGB, is that it is definitely priced higher than some, but the pros outweigh the cons enough to make it worth it.
The very first thing I noticed when I put this memory into my computer was that it isn’t as tall as some of the other memory I have tested before, so it leaves some more room than most other memory would. This being said, it doesn’t effect the speed in any way, but is a bonus to have some more room for those pesky wires.
I was unable to get a picture of them, as my PC case is not clear, but I did find one to show what they look like when in a PC.
The two lines in the middle that stand out in color is a set of the memory, which is how it comes when you purchase them.
The source for this image did mention that a custom color option would be nice, but there has to be a point to where it becomes too good for it’s cost.
Like a lot of memory I have tested, it would be a wise decision to go into BIOS and make sure that the memory and your PC are communicating properly and at one set speed to increase efficiency.
Onto some of the details other than flashy lights and general things that can be said about a lot of different memory sticks, I have the specs of the memory listed below.

Team Group: XTREEM ARGB RAM Review
RAM is a lot when it comes to computers. Can increase speed, performance, and everything in between. But, TEAMGROUP really showed us just how much of a statement they can make in such a competitive field, and the XTREEM ARGB is no understatement.
This RAM is one of the best I have ever seen. With a CAS Latency (CL) of 14 running at 3200 MHz brings this to a 4 nanosecond response time! Having this in your system would almost always increase performance.
^THE PICTURE IS ALSO A LINK^
The RAM does come with options, with the highest being a 5333 with a CL of 22! Which is a 4.1 nanosecond response time. Now, that package is 2x8GB sticks, but it is still very fast. And with their lifetime warranty, you will never have to buy another stick of RAM again.
Pictured above is simply just another color option you can choose.
These are some of the best RAM I have seen in a while. I mean, the fact that there is even RAM that is that fast is insane.
