Conclusion
The Crucial Ballistix PC8500 kit is a well performing, highly overclockable pair of modules. It comes with some sexy looking heatspreaders too which is always a bonus for those that like a good looking case. However, the kit doesn't overclock that much more than the 6400 modules of the same name. Therefore, the reason to buy this kit (Priced about £30 more) is if you want a guaranteed memory speed of 1067mhz and probably a bit more. However, if you want a kit that will give you a good chance of hitting 1050mhz, but probably not more you should go with the slightly cheaper 6400 kit.
| Pros | Cons |
| Good performance | Overclockers the same as cheaper modules |
| Overclocks more than stated speeds | |
| Simple but eye catching heatspreaders |
I'd like to thank our sponsors Crucial for providing us with this kit.
