Sport 4GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) UDIMM 240-Pin Memory - BLS4G3D1609DS1S00

Fast, Stable, and Reliable Upgrade for Older Systems I picked up the Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB kit (2x8GB DDR3-1600) to breathe new life into an older desktop, and it has done exactly that. Installation was as simple as snapping the modules into the DIMM slots—no adjustments needed in BIOS, as the system recognized the full 1600 MHz speed right away. Performance-wise, the difference is noticeable. Everyday tasks run smoother, and heavier applications that once struggled with 8GB now feel much more responsive. For gaming, it provides a stable boost, especially in titles that tend to be memory-hungry. Multitasking is also much easier, with far fewer slowdowns when running multiple browser tabs, streaming, and background apps. A big plus is that the sticks run cool and stable at the rated 1.5V. No crashes, no hiccups, just consistent performance. While DDR3 is an older standard now, this kit offers excellent value for those still running compatible systems and not ready to make the leap to DDR4 or DDR5. Bottom line: If you’ve got an older desktop and want an affordable, reliable upgrade, this Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB kit is a fantastic choice that delivers solid performance and stability.

Once in a while, my desktop would freeze, or crash with a message of memory dump. Not sure if the original RAM contributed to these or they were caused by something else altogether. At other times, the PC just seemed slow, especially when I had several applications open and running. Thinking the PC’s original RAM maybe insufficient or getting old or both, I started to look for additional RAM. Online searches suggested using the tool on Crucial website to scan the computer for compatible RAM, I did just that. It scanned my computer and told me that it had 4GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB), and that there are two empty slots available. It also provided me details about my current RAM (DDR3, 1333 MHz, etc.) and compatible Crucial RAM modules. Very nice tool! I decided to get 2 additional modules of 4GB each or total of 8GB. I almost purchased the Corsair Vengeance because of its popularity. But then I read how some users had fit and clearance issues with the Vengeance due to its size. To avoid that problem, I went with these Crucial Ballistix 2x4 GB modules. Upon opening my desktop PC tower to install the Crucial RAM sticks, I was glad that I went with these Ballistix. They are the same height as the original RAM modules, and there is not much clearance. I removed the original 2x2 GB modules (already 6 years old) and put them in the slots that have been open since purchase. Then I inserted the Ballistix in their place to have them closest to the CPU. Installation was very easy and quick. Afterward, I verified that the system now recognizes that total RAM is now 12 GB (new 8G + original 4G). It has been two weeks since I installed the Ballistix modules. So far no more crashes. Also everything just seems much quicker than before, especially when I have multiple applications running at the same time. Very glad I purchased this item. I should have done this sooner.

The only two brands I trust for my SSD's are Intel and Crucial, mainly used Corsair RAM in my main builds...but my next build may be getting a crucial kit after being impressed by this package. Worked out of the box with an unidentical stick of 4GB Patriot Intel Extreme Masters RAM with same timings. Using in my HTPC with AMD FX 8350 and MSI 970A-G46 w/8GB RAM with 2x Radeon 6850 in Crossfire (I know, dinosaur GPU.) Packaging was a tease (2xDIMM retail package with just the one stick) but was clearly labeled 4GB and fully sealed. The heat shield is a nice aesthetic touch in my Cooler Master HAF-XB EVO while chilling (literally) under a CM Hyper 212 cooler, no fitment issues (for those who have large coolers). I got lucky and the blue of the Patriot stick and the Black/Silver of the Crucial stick compliment my build fairly well. I run Steam in-home streaming, Plex Windows Server, Kodi, torrent clients, and a few Linux VM's simultaneously off of a Crucial M500 240GB SSD and the 8350 can really stretch its legs in this build. BIOS reported correct speed upon install, I'm a bit tired of seeing reviews that cry foul about the RAM being faulty when it loads up as 1333mhz or so. Ever consider that it's your motherboard, not the RAM, that is causing you such injustice? TL;DR Fast, cheap, reliable. Like a used Miata.

I built my first PC about a year and a half ago, and this is the RAM I decided to go with (because I had a low budget). I bought one 8 gig stick with the expectation that if I felt I needed it I would order more. Lately, I've been hosting a few servers off of my computer and my small amount of RAM didn't seem to do the trick. I ended up buying 16 gigabytes worth of RAM, just because it was so affordable. I would like to start by saying that the RAM itself works well! A lot of my stuff does seem to be functioning significantly faster, although I do think I would order one more stick, just so that I could have the full 32 gigabytes experience. I plugged my new RAM into the correct RAM (or at least I hope they were the correct ones) and my computer booted as it normally would and under system properties it did acknowledge the new RAM. The one issue I see to be having right now is my computer getting hotter than I am used to. My computer has a LED indicator that woks as a thermometer when it isn't screaming at me to fix some debug code. I cannot say for sure whether this is something that others have ran into, but I have noticed that when I enter an application that requires the extra RAM, my CPU heat seems to spike up about 15 degrees Celsius. I'm not too concerned about it, as my computer still hasn't passed 55 degrees Celsius.

I purchased this kit to increase my RAM in an older computer. I already had Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) in the computer and wanted to maintain the same RAM manufacturer in the computer. The ordered Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3-1600 was received in good condition in new packaging. I installed the RAM, following all necessary safety precautions from unplugging the computer to prevent electrical shock as well as grounding myself and computer to prevent damage to the RAM from static electricity. The computer started up and indicated 16 GB of RAM. The RAM has been in use for about two weeks now with no issues.

I just received this RAM today 09/16/2014, and while the install was slightly awkward for me do to the fact that i have much larger more expensive RAM in the the other 2 slots on my motherboard, this RAM has been phenomenal. This is my first time every buying Crucial Ballistix RAM but at this rate it will not be my last. The RAM was fully compatible with my motherboard and my OS picked it up immediately. My programs respond MUCH quicker and for those techies like me it is almost night and day. The different between 8GB of RAM and 16GB of RAM on a gaming computer is definitely noticeable. This RAM plays its part beautifully with no signs of struggling, over heating, or any sort of issues.

When I was looking at the memory on the site, I was trying to figure out for sure if it would work in a Dell Optiplex 390. All the specs seemed to match up of the memory I needed, but I couldn't find confirmation from anyone. I went ahead and bought the memory hoping it would work.... and IT DID!!!! It works great in a Optiplex 390. I bought the 2x4 8GB kit. All the model numbers were for the non ballistix cruial memory but I was really happy to find that this memory will work in the 390. It was a huge upgrade over the stock 4GB of slow ram that was in the computer. Just wanted to share this information in hopes it will help others. This memory should also work in the Optiplex 3010s as well, probably most "I Series" processors in the optiplex line of computer. I couldn't be happier with the Ram, product arrived on time in perfect condition. *UPDATE 4-20-15* I just got my last 4gb stick to finish out my 16gb on my current build. The first bit of this memory I purchased was for a dell I upgraded and it worked great. Since then I built a new machine and transferred the memory to that. I am currently running 16GB of this ram in my gaming computer, the ram is OC just a bit and the timings run great. This memory is awesome, have had no issue whatsoever.

Crucial Ballistix has a good reputation and it is really good. Its an amazing RAM for this price. The rating jumped to 7.8 on Win 7 x64 on Gigabyte GA Z77M D3H with Corei7 3770, ASUS GTX 760 and Samsung SSD 128 Gb. Instant plug and play. Fast boot is a charm. Been playing Tomb Raider 2013, Crysis 3, Mass Effect 3, Dead Space 3 and Remember Me on Ultra settings without any hiccups. Love it. Quick delivery too. Thanx.

Picked up this kit for $70 from Warehouse Deals distributor on here for my first PC build. Works great and my computer runs smoothly. Was so happy with it I recently decided to buy another kit (same price of $70) to fill my two other ram slots. These are nice and low profile which is why I bought them again; I'm about to install a Hyper 212 cooler and am hoping these small cards will fit under it if necessary. So small you can hardly see it in my build picture. Great budget ram. EDIT: Just installed my Hyper 212 evo and the cooler with fan clears this ram in all four slots! excellent product.

Es un buen producto, sin problemas de compatibilidad, mi equipo lo reconocio sin problemas, creo que no hay otras tarjetas de 4 gb, en ese rango de precio, ademas tiene una latencia muy baja, lo que da como resultado un mejor desempeño.

The product I received was ordered based on specs I already used in my PC (I ordered this to expand the ram). The ram is performing just as expected in unison with the old stick. Also, the delivery was received two days prior to the estimated arrival date.

Superb Ram. Delivered in just 2 days after order.
