Without sporting heatsinks or flashy RGB LEDs, the Crucial 32GB 4800MHz C40 DDR5 memory kit offers good performance and can be surely considered in case you are going for a brand-new Intel Alder Lake build. The memory quantity is enough for a lot of applications such as video encoding, gaming, rendering, running multiple VMs at once and can even squeeze more performance out of it by increasing the voltage to 1.25 and upping the clock to 5400MHz!

Crucial plays it safe with this kit, going straight to the default JEDEC of 4800MHz, to be compatible with all setups. Ballistix line is now gone, but we surely hope to see even higher-clocked modules from Crucial, even if they won’t be gaming themed.

The 32GB kit, as tested can be currently found online for about 250 Euros, so around the price of a mainstream DDR5 motherboard for Intel’s newest generation of processors, Alder Lake.
