Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory (with Orange/Blue Light) Model BLT2KIT4G3D1869DT2TXOB

Pros: Fast
Somewhat low profile
Bling factor

Cons: Only thing I could wish for, is if the LEDs were RGB.

Other Thoughts: So far I have been able to get them stable at 2133 @ 1.5 with stock timings, the first set of ram that I have actually been able to OC without instant BSOD's.

Pros: This is by far the best RAM i have ever owned. Very fast, heatsinks help it keep cool and the LED lights give it an awesome look.

Cons: To some it may be a con but when you are playing games at maximum settings, the LED lights blink very fast.

Pros: Fast, cheap, well-built, as expected.

Cons: Doesn't allow overclocking. Even the slightest attempt at O/C causes the machine to reboot during POST.

Other Thoughts: Still recommend this RAM, just be aware that O/C might not work.

Pros: - No hassle install with effective cooling (hovers around 30C)

- Lights look AWESOME and go along great with my white LED case fans.

- Motherboard surprised me and actually set the timings and overclocked automatically to a stable clock, first I've seen with my AMD builds. Not a single crash or hiccup.

Cons: -None.

Other Thoughts: I've tried several brands and after this experience--I'm sticking with Crucial for my RAM needs and will be picking up another 8GB in the future.

Works fantastic with my 990FX Sabertooth 2.0 and AMD 8120.

Pros: Nothing I can really say since its memory with LED's other than it looks cool.

Cons: I bought 2 8gb kits. Out of the 4 sticks 3 has issues with the LED's. Either I'm extremely unlucky or most on here doesn't care if a LED is out or even notices. One stick had dead LED complete and would not shut off with the MOD utility, another stick has dim/flickering lower orange LED's, the last stick had a dead top orange LED.

Other Thoughts: I bought these mainly for looks since I have window in my case. When I bought them I bought them for the LED's only since my current memory was working fine. Its a huge disappointment knowing I have to RMA 3 sticks and it will take 2-3 weeks to get them back. I'm just wondering if the returned sticks will have any issues.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear our memory caused any issues and the slow turn time. It is strange that 3 out of the 4 were having LED control issues. It sounds like you have an RMA in place and if you have any issues after this, please ask to have the issue escalated so we can track your configuration to make sure there isn't a board / BIOS compatability issue. Your input is valuable to us so we appreciate your efforts.

Regards,
Jeremy

Pros: Running this Fine Kit in my rig for awhile now, Very Satisfied! Absolutely stable with The Excellent MSI Z77A-GD65 and an I7 2700K at 4.2Ghz. the LEDs are stunning, and with the Zalman CNPS 9900Maxx R, Cooler Master blue Led fans and a couple blue ccfl 8" lamps from A.C. Ryan inside my NZXT Tempest Evo, This Computer is STUDLY!

Cons: None!!

Other Thoughts: I realize there are many fine choices you could make when you decide what memory to put in your computer, but if your case has a side window, you got to get these modules! That's what the window is for, because you want something to look at.. Not to mention how well they work even if you didn't have a window. Download the utility from Crucial's website to control the LEDs along the top of the stick, and at the bottom where they plug into the socket. Variable patterns, Colors, and Brightness levels! Easy too! You will love em..

Pros: The LEDs are awesome, and match the rest of my build!
It's fast!
It looks good.
Super easy to install.

Cons: Had to go into the BIOS and set the speed to 1866 MHz, no big deal.

Other Thoughts: Get it.

Pros: I <3 the Blue LEDs on the RAM. It seems as though they speed up as the load goes up. The memory is incredibly fast.

Cons: The heat sinks are a little tall but it's not a big deal.

Other Thoughts: I had to adjust from 1333 to 1866 in the BIOS but it's not a big deal at all.

Pros: So I was going to get me some generic gskills(sigh) until I went onto Tomshardware and asked if my build was going to work and someone recommended these to me. I couldn't be happier! These are low profile so they fit under my Cooler Master Hyper 612 PWM(this thing is a monster) with a little room to spare. The LEDs are AWESOME!!! I see people wanting more options for patterns but I must say the ones provided are awesome. I love the blue underglow with the orange lights flashing. Of course you can change the way the colors are coordinated.
On top of all that the ram themselves look amazing! Really clean looking with a nice black look.
This ram also rates 7.6 on Windows which is amazing.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: My build:
ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX
Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 v2
Cooler Master Hyper 612 PWM
Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB
Thermaltake Toughpower XT TPX-675M 675W

Pros: no problems at all set latencies manually passed memtest 3 passes no errors....lights are killer and provide light to a usually dark area of mobo. personally have had no problems with the MOD software.

Cons: none yet
