Decent overclocking capabilities, Great performance without using its XMP profile, Low height ensures maximum compatibility in space-restricted cases, Low 1.35 V operating voltage, XMP Support for 4th Gen Intel Core CPUs and Z87-based motherboards as well
Green PCB, Overclocking on SKT 1150 doesn't produce noticeable performance increases, Low 1600 MHz speed means this kit is better for Intel-based systems (AMD systems use 1866 or 2133 MHz by default)
The 16 GB (2x 8GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP kit is available for $159.99 in the US or €149.90 in the EU region. Decent overclocking capabilities Great performance without using its XMP profile Low height ensures maximum compatibility in space-restricte...
Abstract: I started writing about DDR3 memory modules in May 2007 before the supporting motherboards came out, so it takes quite a bit to get me excited about memory after writing about it for nearly six years of doing so. In fact, buying a memory kit is one of the...
It is clear that Crucial's Ballistix Low-Profile line can compete with the best out there. Both the Sport VLP and Tactical LP kits showed their capability in every benchmark. Even though the Tactical LP's performed better than the Sport VLP's, they were ...

These memory modules seem to be the perfect solution for the SFF PC, or in cases where the Ballistix tactical LP are too large, snuggling up under the HSF. They run cool helping keep case temperatures down, they run low voltage which for the power miser...

Stock voltage of 1.35v, lower cost competitors use 1.5v, Capable of running at 1866MHz, at CL10 timings with 1.5v, Very Low profile design, even lower profile than the Crucial Tactical LP kit reviewed early December
Fails to provide the best price:performance ratio, with other 16GB kits selling for about $55, Please drop by the Bigbruin.com Forum and feel free to post any comments or questions
The Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP (Very Low Profile) 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 Memory Kit tends to rank it just a notch lower than its cousins - the Crucial Tactical LP and Crucial Elite memory kits. Overclocking the Sport VLP kit from 1600MHz to 1866MHz and 10-10-...

The Crucial Ballistix Sport VLP series is a great set for all walks of life. Not matter if you are an average PC user or and an overclocker. With the aid of XMP you can just install an individual stick or kit, select the proper setting in your BIOS and go...
Low profile design, Same heatspreader design as larger version, XMP profile, Lifetime warranty
None that I found
As I said in my review of the Ballistix Tactical Low Profile memory from Crucial it is about time we see low profile versions of performance memory! There are so many times where an aftermarket CPU cooler blocks some of your memory slots so instead of...
Abstract: aster…Faster…Faster! – That's what we all want from our CPU and desktop memory. Blazing fast chips often generate tremendous heat. Because of this, oversized air coolers and memory heat-spreaders are quickly becoming the norm. We've been seeing huge air c...
