Quad-Channel Kit for LGA 2011
This 32 GB kit contains eight 4 GB DDR3 modules rated at 2133 MT/s with CL9 9-11-10-28 timings. It is built for quad-channel operation on Intel Core i7 processors using the LGA 2011 socket and X79 platform. Intel XMP 1.3 profiles are supported for one-click configuration.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The modules run at 1.65 V to maintain the rated 2133 MT/s speed across all eight sticks during extended workloads. Quad-channel architecture delivers up to 17 GB/s bandwidth per channel, keeping data flowing to all cores without throttling. Rigorous factory testing on X79 platforms validates stability in continuous multi-threaded scenarios.
Thermals and Power Draw
An aggressive aluminium heatspreader with a toothed fin array dissipates heat from the DRAM and power components during normal use. The design moves warmth away from the modules into chassis airflow without requiring active cooling. Unbuffered, non-ECC construction keeps the electrical load predictable at the specified 1.65 V.

Questions about this item
How hot or noisy does the 1.65V Ripjaws Z kit get during all-day loads?
The modules run at 1.65V with the standard Ripjaws Z heatsink; they are passively cooled so they add no fan noise, and the aluminium spreader keeps temperatures in check for continuous quad-channel operation.
What motherboard and CPU must I already have to run this 8×4GB DDR3-2133 kit at its rated speed?
You need an LGA 2011 motherboard with the X79 chipset and a compatible Core i7 processor that supports quad-channel DDR3; the kit is XMP 1.3 ready so the rated 2133 MT/s CL9 9-11-10-28 timings load automatically in the BIOS.
Can I keep my existing DDR3 DIMMs and add this 32GB Ripjaws Z set to the same board?
Mixing kits is not recommended; the Ripjaws Z modules are validated as a matched 8-piece quad-channel set at 1.65V CL9, and adding different ICs or voltages will likely force the board to down-clock or lose stability.
