Crucial Ballistix Elite 8 GB (1x8GB DDR4-4000)

The Crucial Ballistix Elite 8 GB arrives as a single module with 8GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 4000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 18, working out to a true latency of about 9ns. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use.

As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $195.00 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
