Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR4-3000 Desktop Gaming Memory (Red) BL16G30C15U4R

The Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR4-3000 Desktop Gaming Memory in Red (SKU: BL16G30C15U4R) is a single-module DDR4 SDRAM kit designed for desktop gaming systems that demand reliable, higher-frequency memory. Running at 3000 MHz, this module steps beyond standard DDR4-2666 and DDR4-2400 speeds, offering a meaningful bandwidth uplift for memory-sensitive workloads such as gaming, video editing, and multitasking. The red heat spreader not only contributes to thermal management but also adds a bold aesthetic that suits open-chassis and RGB-accented builds. While the Ballistix line is engineered with gaming rigs in mind, the module fits any compatible DDR4 desktop platform — Intel or AMD — that supports XMP or JEDEC DDR4-3000 profiles. This kit ships as a single 16GB module (16GB x 1), making it an ideal choice for builders looking to populate one DIMM slot and leave room for future expansion to 32GB or beyond by adding a matching stick. It is also well-suited for single-channel configurations in budget-conscious builds where the priority is capacity over dual-channel bandwidth.
