Packaging and Closer Look
Above you see the front and back packaging of the Ballistix Sport LT Red DRR4. It’s pretty simple and nothing out of the ordinary.
Here we have the front view of the Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 Red. It looks gorgeously red and the heat spreader is a low profile type making it very much compatible with any type of CPU cooler you may use. The black PCB mixes well with the red camo-themed heat spreader and there are silver edgings that have a serrated texture on it, giving it some shine when looked from an angle.
The heat spreaders are identical on both sides, with some additional information about the memory stick. They are also not joined, leaving a gap between the top portions of the memory. The only thing that holds the heat spreaders on to the memory chips is an adhesive tape (most probably a thermal adhesive tape).
Above you see how the Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 looks like without its heat spreader, pretty common if you ask me. Below is a closer look on the Micron chips with the BX (Ballistix) branding imprinted on each chip. Unlike in other DDR4 memory where each chip installed bares the model of the chip used, this one has none. But I’m pretty sure these are Micron chips and are said to be “rigorously tested to some of the most demanding standards in the industry”.
Now it’s time to install this memory kit on my test bench and let’s see how the Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 performs on the following pages.
