Abstract: I started writing about DDR3 memory modules in May 2007 before the supporting motherboards came out, so it takes quite a bit to get me excited about memory after writing about it for nearly six years of doing so. In fact, buying a memory kit is one of the...
The new Ballistix Tactical LP memory from Crucial measures up to 16% lower in height than the standard modules and was designed to operate at a lower voltage (1.35V) than the regular 1.5V. Besides better clearance in systems which require it, we also ...

The Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP could be the ideal kit for many especially those that need some low profile memory for their build like the SFF we are seeing becoming more and more popular. And for those that are using one of the many humongous coolers...
I'm sure there is faster memory on the market. I'm also sure that there is cheaper memory, but is there anything similar to Crucial Ballistix LP that can overclock as well for a kit based on 8GB modules? I think that the overclocking on this kit is real...

Overall, the Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 Memory Kit performs similarly to the Crucial Ballistix Elite 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 kit we tested previously. Overclocking attempts netted up to 15% performance gains in some of our benchmarks. Overal...
Abstract: aster…Faster…Faster! – That's what we all want from our CPU and desktop memory. Blazing fast chips often generate tremendous heat. Because of this, oversized air coolers and memory heat-spreaders are quickly becoming the norm. We've been seeing huge air c...

It is about time we see low profile performance memory! I test a lot of CPU coolers and you would be surprised at how many cover the memory slots. If the memory you are using has a heatspreader that is larger than the modules it is unlikely that it i...

Lower voltage, Good quality, Low profile for tighter component situations
None
I felt the Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP performed well. It didn't exactly blow my corsair ram out of the water but it did score a few points. It also has the advantage of using less power while still performing very well.The Crucial site lists these at ~...
