Initial Setup

The deep black heat spreader on the Crucial Ballistix Gaming Memory makes the kit meld into the system and blend nicely with the other components. It is a good fit with the dark colors and red accents of my ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 7.

Since Crucial was kind enough to provide two sets of sticks, I ran all benchmarks in a two-stick and four-stick configuration.

Thaiphoon shows that these are Micron E-die chips on an 8-layer PCB.
