G.Skill Ripjaws 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-1333)

The G.Skill Ripjaws 16 GB arrives as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles.

As a high-end DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $169.99 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current memory kit prices across retailers.
