Ripjaws X 8GB DDR3 1600 module

This G.SKILL Ripjaws X module delivers 8GB of DDR3 memory rated at 1600MHz with CL9 9-9-9-24 timings. It is built for desktop systems that use the DDR3 standard and need a straightforward capacity upgrade. The 1.50V operating voltage matches the standard DDR3 specification for broad platform compatibility.

Straightforward DIMM installation

The unbuffered DIMM fits a standard DDR3 slot without extra configuration in most cases. Systems that default to a lower speed may require a manual BIOS adjustment to reach the rated 1600MHz frequency. The blue heat spreader adds height, so verify CPU cooler clearance before seating the module.

DDR3 1600 platform limits

The DDR3 1600 interface tops out at the 12800 MT/s data rate and CL9 latency window defined by the JEDEC standard. Higher frequencies or tighter timings need manual tuning and are not guaranteed by the rated specification. Mixed-kit populations can force the memory controller to run at the slowest common denominator.
