G.Skill Ripjaws 4 GB (2x2GB DDR3-1333)

The G.Skill Ripjaws 4 GB comes as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 10.5ns.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR3 option easy to justify. At $169.99 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
