FEATURED Crucial Ballistix Elite 2x8GB DDR4-3466 - BLE2K8G4D34AEEAK

Today I will present something what I wouldn't expect to appear in stores anytime soon - Crucial Ballistix Elite memory kit specified to run at DDR4-3466. Tested kit actually contains two single modules but both have the same product number and are based on the same IC. Simply exactly the same you can find packed as one or two modules.











Memory is based on Samsung B die. All who are into overclocking already know what does it mean.
Here is screenshot from Thaiphoon Burner showing more details:



XMP profile is working without issues on ASUS Maximus XI APEX and on ASUS Prime X370-Pro/Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 5 enabling profile let to run memory at 3200 16-18-18.

That's all for now. I will try to update this thread in time. Memory is booting at 4200+ but so far I couldn't find stable settings. Profiles from ASUS BIOS are not working on this memory even though on other memory kits with the same Samsung IC they're working. Still 4000 is quite easy to set. 4133+ already requires some time and additional manual settings. 4133 was actually stable but I have no idea what I did with screenshot and now I'm on AMD setup which can't make more than 3200. So as I said results will be added in some time.
