They have been around forever, and while the name is a mouthful, the Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB we have been sent, have their name rooted deeply in the history of Crucial. As of right now, four kits have hit the market, all of which are based on 8GB sticks. Two of the kits are 16GB in density, and the other pair of 32GB, but can be had in either 2666MHz or 3000MHz speeds. As for the specific memory we have on hand for this review, it is a 32GB kit of 2666MHz sticks, sporting the part number BLT4K8G4D26BFT4K. Crucial bills this kit to run at 2666MHz with timings of 16-18-18-38 2T and is shown everywhere to run at just 1.20V.

The new Ballistix Tactical Tracer RGB memory is not only lit at the top, and offers various patterns and modes of light displays, there is also one thing about this DDR4 that we have not seen before this. Crucial went through the trouble of making the light bar that tops the memory removable. Why might you ask? Because they have made it so that those with 3D printers can make custom tops for the RAM, and have even made a file to start from, which has the dimensions of the base already there. While you could attempt to address the coloring of the LEDs via motherboard software, Crucial also made this memory work with the MOD software, which makes changing them via software a cinch.
