G.Skill Ripjaws X 32 GB (4x8GB DDR3-1600)

The G.Skill Ripjaws X 32 GB arrives as 4 modules of 8GB each with 32GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 12.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 32GB gives you enough headroom for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

As a premium DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $282.99 it sits in the premium 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.
