Review on G.Skill RipJaws V Series 16GB DDR4 RAM - Model F4-3600C16D-16GVKC by Nathan Jones

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unstable at 3600MHz

I'm using this RAM with a Ryzen 5 3600 and B450 Tomahawk Max and can't get it to run stably at 3600. Although I set it to 3600 when I upgraded my computer a month ago first time, but apparently I forgot because it was running on 2166 all the time. No big deal, I changed it to 3600. It is strange. I go to Windows. The PC will restart. I went into the BIOS and changed the speed to 3200. Now everything works without problems. I probably just have a bad stick of ram or something, but this is pretty disappointing. If I wanted a 3200 I would have bought a 3200 kit. But I wanted a 3600 so I bought a 3600 kit. Now my return period is over and I don't know anyone who would want to buy defective RAM, so now I'm pasting with press paper. Corsair revenge, here I come.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
