Ballistix Elite Overview
Taking a first look at the Ballistix Elite kit you can see that we have an all-black design. So we have a black heatspreader with and matching black PCB. One thing I did noticed when I picked the modules up was that they were quite heavy. This speaks to the quality of the modules and the heavy-duty heatsink.
On the main side of the heatsink we have a small “Elite” logo on the left and a larger Ballisitix logo on the right. For those wondering about color choices, currently these kits are only available in black, although we think a white version would look quite amazing.
Flipping the modules over to the other side we have pretty much the same layout, but instead of the Ballistix logo there are stickers will all of the information about the modules. As a reminder this is the LE2K8G4D36BEEAK kit, which is a 16GB (2x8GB) kit running at 3600 MHz with timings of 16-18-18-38 at 1.35V.
At the top of each module is a pretty hefty heatsink. This heatsink can actually be removed from the modules. On the top of each heatsink is a Ballistix logo right in the center. If you happen to have a window in your system this will let everyone know you are rocking Ballistix memory.
These modules are only 39.6 mm tall, which means they are not all that tall. You shouldn’t run into any clearance issues with larger CPU coolers.
