CONCLUSION
Even though I was looking forward to testing the 5100MHz kit of the Ballistix Max series (now EOL) by Crucial their 4400MHz kit was a pleasant surprise. Performance is among the top ones across the charts and it looks great while doing so too. Overclocking headroom is also good with 4600MHz achievable at just 1.43V so no problems here either. Overall, there’s not a single thing I can find about the Ballistix Max RGB 4400Mhz that I don’t like (well, I guess it would be nice if these were also available in white and red colors like the regular Ballistix line) so let’s move on to price.
You can get your hands on a Ballistix Max RGB 32GB DDR4 4400MHz kit for just USD166.99 inside the USA (crucial.com) and for 206.63Euros inside the EU (eu.cucial.com) a price tag which should be very appealing to users. Overall the Ballistix Max 32GB DDR4 4400Mhz kit by Crucial delivers on everything from performance and looks to price and that’s all you need from a kit which is why it gets the Platinum Award.
