A closer look

The Ballistix Tracer DIMMs come fitted with sleek black heatspreaders, as opposed to the standard yellow spreaders used on the Ballistix range. The edges of the heatspreaders are ground back to the aluminum, which really catches the light, and made taking the pictures a nightmare!


From the top, you can see the row of activity LEDs, and at the bottom of the dimms, there are 4 blue LEDs on each side, which gives a very cool backlighting effect.


Crucial didn't print the specs (capacity, frequency, timings, voltage etc) on the modules. The information on the sticker is for picking purposes, and the orange contrasts nicely with the black heatspreader.

The static-proof bags list the information I was looking for though!

Here are the complete specs from Everest:



According to the EPP profiles, this RAM is capable of 1 GHz with only 2.2V. It will be interesting to see if this is possible.
