Crucial Ballistix Tracer Red 800 MHz 4 GB Kit

nflesher87 · Apr 24, 2008

Crucial has updated their successful Tracer line-up with the Ballistix Tracer 4 GB Dual Channel kit. Despite stock ratings at 800 MHz with CL4 timings at 2.2V this kit is capable of reaching 1120 MHz stable at CL5 and 2.2V. In addition, the Ballistix Tracer Reds were completely stable at stock speed and timings with only 1.8V, making this a great kit for those with limited voltage options. That said, the entirely red LED accented theme and great performance from these high density 2GB modules is sure to please.

I'll actually ask my contact at Crucial about that as I was unclear on that as well, the only thing that leads me to believe these are limited edition is Newegg's comment:

Newegg Exclusive, limited time offer

But I'm wondering if that simply means that they are a Newegg Exclusive for a limited time? lol that'd be good wordplay if so

Nice review and thanks for the picts.
(I dont know if its worth almost double of the EVO Ones (AR), But there are blinky lights involved)

funny thing is that's even good for 1 GB modules that are rated at 800 MHz and CL4, let alone 2 GB modules

WarEagleAU · Apr 26, 2008

Wonder how many of these Fits bought...

lol I think he's talking about 2 sets

cdawall · Apr 26, 2008

TPU should raffle these off

Mussels · Apr 27, 2008

can you turn the led's off? no way in hell would i run ram as gimmicky and bright as that...

SuperStarr · Apr 27, 2008

No way to turn led's off except to turn off computer.

nflesher87 · Apr 27, 2008

yep sorry mussels, the only way would be to physically desolder the LEDs from the PCB, which I expect wouldn't be too difficult
but let me also say that the pictures exaggerate gawdiness of the LEDs lol, in anything other than pitch black they're a very manageable brightness

i agree with u on that because the pics i posted reflect too much light form them but in reality the little red leds are like moving dots no even close to overexposed brightness like in the pic , plus i also used contrast on the pics before posting cause i took the pics in the dark =)

jbunch07 · Apr 27, 2008

hey i just noticed that the kit on newegg looks completely different then the ones you have here...i like the ones u showed but it makes me wonder if i get them witch ones they will be?
