Conclusion
Crucial have done it again! Amazing performance that can be pushed even further. They look great which is a nice feature to those looking for a bit of ‘flash’ in their system and kept cool under our overclocking sessions. With a price in the UK at around £160 Inc VAT, they are quite pricey which is the one downfall, as for £10 more, you can buy G.Skill’s 2000Mhz CAS9 kit that can be clocked to CAS 7 at stock speeds and can be run at CAS6 at Crucial’s stock speed of 1600Mhz. Never the less, aside from cost, these modules provide the end user with a means of gloss and performance in a small factor. These memory modules won’t stop you from mounting big heatsinks onto your CPU, yet can be overclocked an extra 400Mhz!
If your into overclocking and have the spare cash we would recommend this kit, however if your not we suggest you look for a cheaper set of 1600Mhz kits as they can be had for a good £40 cheaper at similar timings than our Tracer’s. In any case, Crucial have done what they set out to do with their Tracer line; they have top performance with low latency, great colour scheme to boost about, and overclock friendly!
Pro’s
- Overclocking ability
- LED show
- Small (but effective) heatspreaders
Cons
- The price
Crucial’s Ballistix Tracer kit today receives our Silver Award and 8.5/10. Its provides the end user with the means to overclock effectivity further than its rated stock speeds. However, G.Skill’s Trident 2000Mhz memory is only £10 more and is faster still both stock and overclocked.
Thanks
