FEATURED Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB ( 4x4GB ) DDR4-2400 CL16 1.20V - BLS4G4D240FSB

[Woomack]

Crucial recently added Sport LT series to its DDR4 memory kits. Ballistix Sport is available on the market for couple of months and it seems it's popular. LT version is slightly improved. We have "digital camo" heatspreaders and black PCB but also easy to use memory profiles which should work regardless if we use XMP or standard SPD settings.










Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4-2400 CL16 has only one XMP profile which is enough for lower clocked memory kits.
Below you can see results at XMP profile which is about the same as SPD ( AIDA64/CPU-Z windows with profiles ).



Crucial is a Micron brand so we can expect to find new Micron IC inside. Similar to Crucial Elite reviewed couple of days ago, also Sport LT is based on IC designed to work as DDR4-2400. Elite series will have similar but better selected memory chips which gives higher chance on higher overclock.

Overclocking Results

DDR4-2400 13-13-13-28 1.20V




DDR4-2666 14-14-14-32 1.25V




DDR4-2800 14-14-14-32 1.30V




DDR4-2800 13-13-13-28 1.35V




Sadly all 4 memory sticks couldn't work at DDR4-3000+. Two of them were slightly stronger and could pass benchmarks at DDR4-3000 but other two had problems to enter system. I assume that many retail kits will be able to run at 3000 or higher clock as I already saw couple of results around the web.
On the other hand, results like 2666 CL14 1.25V or 2800 CL13 1.35V are also great considering that we are buying DDR4-2400 CL16 memory kit.

If you have this memory and wish to share your experience or benchmark results then don't hesitate to add it to this thread.

With a delay but I added couple of photos to the first post. Renewed digital-camo heatsinks look pretty good
It costs below $190 on the newegg right now. Really good price for this memory.

I've got a kit of 16GB (2x8GB) Crucial DD4-2400C16 1.2v D/R (double-sided)... BLS2K8G4D240FSA

I'm able to boot/run up to ~3066 so far... I'm not so sure that it can make 3200??

3066C14 1.34v Dram 1.15v VCCIO/VCCSA... HyperPi 32M and Prime v28.7 benchmark (memory bandwidth) stable:

Not bad. I would check if it's scalling with voltage. Probaby your kit is on newer IC. I had 3 Crucial kits and each of them was acting a bit different.
Can try something like 14-14-16 or 15-14-16 at higher clock. I have no idea if you make it work stable at 3200+. Most of these kits stop at about 3000.

Initial testing showed a no boot at 3100/3200 at 16-16-16-36 with the ASRock Extreme6... Still not too shabby a result for a 2400C16 kit.

I'll try to see if they can scale with additional voltage or perhaps even tighten up a little more with the timings??

Nice Polroger!

Some kits could make something like 3000 12-12-12/13-13/13 ~1.37-1.45V. All depends from chips but all Crucials are on various series of D9 so there is a high chance that your kit will make it. Some of these kits are not booting above ~1.5V or you won't be able to enter windows but most are scalling good at lower voltages like up to 1.45V.
