Little by little, RAM memories opened a gap in the gaming sector. It is true that, as we have explained on other occasions, the use of the so-called RAMCache has helped these to become more relevant, but it is also true that there has been a jump in performance which was less palpable in other generations. So, and if we are talking about large companies, what would be the best memories of ram of a like Crucial?
There are RAM memories for all tastes, pockets and colors, where the offer is so wide that it is really difficult not to find what you are looking for. Focusing on Crucial and as a good premium brand, we see it in its catalog in which we have selected for you the best modules that we can find today.
The Best Crucial RAM
The options chosen are three that somehow represent the most demanded needs and prices of the gaming industry, where, due to one characteristic or another, they stand out in a clear section above the rest of the brand’s models.
Crucial Ballistix 2x 8GB DDR4-2666 CL16
It is perhaps the perfect RAM in representation of value and price within Crucial, since we have 16 GB at a reasonable price and with a frequency that, although today may seem low, is really sufficient to play any game without losing virtually any FPS.
It is the safe option with any processor, motherboard and, in general, existing configuration, a safe bet where it is impossible to fail when acquiring them and therefore it enters the list as the “must have “. Its main latencies are 16-18-18-38where its voltage is only 1.2V.
| Positive | Negative |
|---|---|
| Price | not very high frequency |
| Tension | High latency for this frequency |
Ballistix 2 x 8GB DDR4-3200MHz CL16
It’s the next step up from its previous siblings, it shares all its virtues, like a high quality aluminum heatsink and impressive consistency. It differs, however, in its frequency, since it is a question here of 3.200MHzstandard and maximum stock configuration of all latest generation Intel and AMD IMC processors and currently determined to be the most balanced speed in terms of performance/price/security.
Some processors and their IMCs may not support this speed in DDR4, so consider the CPU in question, the motherboard and its compatibility through the QVL lists available for each model. Its main latencies are 16-18-18-36 at 1.35V.
| Positive | Negative |
|---|---|
| Perfect frequency for any current processor | Sin RGB |
| BACK at 36 | |
| Competitive price |
Crucial Ballistix RGB 2 x 32GB DDR4-3600MHz
It’s the jewel in the crown of Critical and DDR4more than enough speed without raising the IMC voltage to dangerous levels for it, capacity for any task, gaming, streaming and all simultaneously, it also includes an RGB lighting system maintaining the large heatsink available to the Ballistix models.
This system is compatible with the main brands of motherboards on the market, so there will be no synchronization problems. Its latency is equal to that of its little sister that we saw above: 16-18-18-38curiously retaining the same TRAS.
| Positive | Negative |
|---|---|
| High frequency, but workable for a current memory controller | price a bit high |
| Adjusted latencies | |
| RGB | |
| 64 GB |
