Review on G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB DDR4 3200 Desktop Memory - F4-3200C16D-8GVKB Review and Specifications by Chadwick Webster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's not really 3200MHz

I bought this pack of RAM modules for a Ryzen based computer and it turns out that G.Skill isn't just the exact same part number for RAM with Samsung and SK Hynix chips (I have Hynix), but the ram I got was probably a manufacturer fault as well. I couldn't get this RAM to run at speeds above 2400MHz without extreme instability, even though high-performance Hynix chips (like those found on 3200MHz RAM sticks) almost always run at 2966. I have to decide to return them and get a refund and order another RAM instead. The bottom line is that the 3200MHz RAM couldn't do 3200, 2966 or even 2666 and ended up reaching 2400 which is a huge waste of time. If you're buying RAM for a Ryzen build, I advise you to avoid ripjaw V and go for FlareX or TridentZ since they use Samsung chips.
