Initial Setup

The black and white of the Ballistix Elite 3600 MHz would fit in almost anywhere, but looks great with the MEG X299 CREATION board I am using for this test. The styling of these sticks is pretty subtle, and there is of course no RGB, but they still manage to stand out all the same.

Running this kit at its rated speed was as simple as enabling XMP. The Ballistix Elite 3600 MHz proved very stable in my testing.

Thaiphoon shows that Ballistix is using Micron ICs, which should surprise no one. Producing memory in house is one of the strongest points of Ballistix.
