Final Thoughts

Pricing (accurate at the time of writing)

In the UK the Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133MHz kit can be had for £329.99 at Overclockers while in the USA it can be had for $408.99 at Newegg. This Crucial memory product comes with a lifetime warranty.

Summary

There’s no denying that Crucial’s DDR4 memory line is very expensive compared to equivalent capacity and frequency DDR3 kits. There’s also no denying this memory modules are hardly “lookers” in any sense of the word. However, if we look at DDR4 prices we can see that the Crucial 32GB kit is easily the cheapest kit on the market. Yet that low cost doesn’t detract from its performance or stability. These modules perform well at stock and even better when being overclocked and at all times everything was nice and stable. It’s hard to say too much about these modules because memory is memory but they perform well, are cost effective and have the peace-of-mind of a lifetime warranty. We look forward to Crucial releasing some more exciting looking DDR4 kits in the near future under their Ballistix range, hopefully these will come with faster frequencies and nicer designs. However, these kits still do the job fine. If you want a cheap and reliable entry into the world of DDR4 then you need not look any further than Crucial’s offerings.

Pros

Competitive pricing
Good overclocking headroom
Lifetime warranty

Cons

Boring aesthetics
Limited selection of frequencies

“If you’re looking to venture into the world of DDR4 then it need not be as expensive as you think. Crucial’s Premium Memory range offers an affordable path to the next generation of memory products. Stability, reliability and overclockability have come along for the ride too.”
