G.Skill 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell July 4, 2011 Featured Tech Reviews, Memory

The G.Skill RipjawsX 8GB DDR3 1600mhz kit arrives in a plastic blister pack to highlight the colourful heatspreader design within a retail store environment. We really do like the appearance of these products.

The heatspreaders are not an oversized design which will appeal to many enthusiast users who wish to use a larger heatsink for their latest build. They don't interfere with the fitting of a Noctua NH D14 for instance.

The heatspreaders are adhered with sticky thermal tape and a simple catch mechanism at the top. Using the tip of your finger to force them apart is easy enough, then the clip mechanism can be opened. The PCB design is pure black which always looks great.

    8GB of performance memory for under £60? can the prices get much better before they go up? I think not.

    It is worth pointing out to people who dont know that most of the memory on these chips are actually made for companies like gskill and shared with other clients.

    Nice review. I have owned three gskill kits for years and none of them have a single issue. Good to see the good price with their product.

    I have these fantastic modules running as this article suggested – 1866 Mhz with timings of 9/9/9/28 T1 @1.65v .. Best RAM I’ve ever owned, super fast and 100% stable. I’ve tried many different performance RAM brands (Corsair, OCZ, ect…) And nothing comes close in the Power>Price ratio. G.Skill all the way from now on 🙂
