CONCLUSION

   Even though Crucial released numerous blazing fast DDR4 kits under their BallistiX Line the same hasn’t been true about their DDR5 lines (and even the BallistiX DDR4 lines have been discontinued), at least not to date. By releasing 5600/6000MHz kits at just 1.1V they allow end users to push clocks much higher but again, nothing beats the simplicity of using XMP/EXPO to set your preferred clocks. I was hoping that they’d “resurrect” their BallistiX line for DDR5 (and they just might) but the sole significant change has been the introduction of this 96GB dual-channel kit. Still even though as you can see from the charts this kit does very well overall at the end of the day it’s just 1 kit.

   Priced at just USD261.80 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 270.02Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the DDR5 Pro 96GB 5600MHz CL46 Dual-Channel Kit by Crucial is priced well. Again, this isn’t the fastest kit out of the box but it’s among the highest capacity dual-channel (2 DIMM) kits out there and that along with everything else it offers is more than enough for the Golden Award.
