Video Review: The Crucial Ballistix PC3-12800 DDR3 Dual Channel 4GB Memory performs very well. It has a speed of 1600MHz, latency of 8-8-8-24 and is 1.65 volts. The orange/silver heatspreader looks excellent and since this memory is of normal dimension it will not interfere with CPU coolers. I was a little disappointed though that it would not run at 8-8-8-24 using 1T, I had to set it to 2T. This is still very acceptable and still yields excellent results.
