Overview
The G.Skill Ripjaws X 8 GB comes as 4 modules of 2GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 8.8ns. DDR3 pricing in the premium tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.
8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $282.99, which lands it among premium options.
