Good. I miss my ballistix memory and these are quite nice looking in white.

What ever happened to the Ballistix Product line anyhow, why was it discontinued?

I don't believe a reason was given. presumably financial. Possible they got a large contract for DDR5 and Micron didn't have the capacity to keep binning and supplying Crucial with faster memory. Or they knew that Micron memory wasn't competitive for the faster DDR5 speeds already on the market from Samsung and SK Hynix at the time.

36-36-36-80, 2T at 1.4V doesn't seem impressive.
My G.skill f5-6000j3636f16g does 36-36-36-96, 2T at 1.35V and uses Samsung dies.

It's not impressive. It's almost not good enough, not for gaming. But it'll be reliable and it does look very nice.

If i hadn't sunk my money into a 64Gb Crucial kit, and if this was on the market, i'd go for it.

I doubt it can be overclocked.
It runs at 1.4v already, with mediocre timings.
