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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very happy! UPDATE: Not so good

Other than the current RAM price, this is great RAM. Worked at 3200 speed on my Strix x370 motherboard with no fiddling. Very happy with the performance so far! UPDATE: I ordered another set for a different PC build. It seems that G.Skill no longer makes this RAM using the same Samsung chip that I ordered in a previous review. The latest kits use a Hynix-M die instead, which almost certainly won't hit 3200MHz, despite featuring in the QVL listings for Ryzen processors on several motherboards. It's entirely possible they could run at 3200MHz with enough voltage or optimized timings, but after trying three separate kits I was only able to get a stable 2666MHz on two of the three (one kit had a dead RAM stick to start with ). It might be worth saving the money and just ordering 2666MHz RAM instead if you're trying to put together a budget build.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Stock availability
