| Ripjaws-X 8GB (F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD) Add to Cart Specs: Capacity: 8GB (2x 4GB); CAS Latency: 9-11-9-28-2N; Frequency: DDR3-2133 (PC3-17000); Voltage: 1.65V; Unbuffered; Non-ECC; Warranty: Lifetime |
kit (model F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD),
is tuned for Sandy Bridge and qualified on
a variety of popular motherboards from
enthusiast staples such as Asus, Gigabyte,
ASRock, Biostar, and MSI. The kit also
supports XMP for easy configuration.
This kit features lightweight aluminum
heat spreaders with fins that extend upward
from the PCB at a few different angles,
giving them an aggressive look. Also included
with the kit is G.Skill’s Turbulence II active
memory cooler, which is outfitted with a
pair of lighted, blue fans. The cooler snaps
onto the memory retention clips and blows
air directly onto the DIMMs. Even after
hours of testing and benchmarking with
the memory running at 2,133MHz, it was
hardly warm to the touch.
The kit was also rock solid and
worked perfectly in an array of motherboards
(Zotac, MSI, Asus, and Gigabyte)
we had available for testing. Using an
Asus P8P67 Deluxe and Core i7-2600K
as our testbed, the G.Skill Ripjaws-X
memory produced 27GBps of peak
bandwidth (stock 1,333MHz kits peak
around 16GBps) in SiSoft Sandra’s
memory bandwidth benchmark. And
Sandra’s memory latency test yielded a
result of 56.3ns. Finally, a low-resolution
Crysis benchmark resulted in a frame
rate of 233.91fps, which is quite a bit
higher than the 207.4fps we got from
the stock Sandy Bridge setup using
1,333MHz memory.
With an asking price of about 200 bucks,
the G.Skill Ripjaws-X 8GB memory kit
is significantly more expensive than most
other dual-channel DDR3 kits currently on
the market. It is, however, one of the highest
clocked kits available, and its performance
is excellent.

Great item, fast low voltage RAM!
By Lu
The RAM runs is 9-9-9-24, which is slightly above average (not the best, but not bad) for a base speed of 1600MHz. It is 1.5v as well, which is an improvement on the standard 1.65v DDR3 that has been coming out in the last few years. Finally, the heatsinks works great as well if you plan to OC the RAM. They might be a bit tall for some CPU coolers, but for reference my CM N520 and my friend's Prolimatech Megahalem all clears the RAM without much trouble.
My RAM has been working fine OCed to 1800MHz and slower timings for half a year!
