Initial Setup
While none of my other components are yellow, the Ballistix Sport AT is mostly a deep gunmetal gray that fits in perfectly with my ASRock Z390 Taichi test board. This kit definitely won't work in every build, but it will work in more than just TUF Gaming builds.
Running this kit at its rated speed was as simple as enabling XMP. The Ballistix Sport AT 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.
