Our last Ballistix memory review was the Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Red DDR4 2666Mhz Memory Kit, which was good and represents the entry speeds for performance or enthusiast level DDR4. If you want a little more speed and capability, you can have a look at some Ballistix memory at the other end of the performance spectrum, the Ballistix Elite 3466MHz DDR4 Memory Kit. 3466 MHz memory speed is amazing, but it's becoming common amongst high end memory. 3466Mhz is a full third faster than the Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Red DDR4 2666Mhz, which is enough to get anyone's attention.

There are a couple of things to watch out for though, timings can be more relevant than overall speed, and the amount of power the DIMM consumes to get you to your top speeds. The Ballistix Elite 3466 MHz RAM we are reviewing today is setup with 16-18-18-36-2T timings, and requires 1.35v to power it. The volts are standard for DDR4 at this speed, and so are the timings. Overall the timings are a little better than some, and a little behind others.
