G.SKILL 32GB (2 x 16GB) Ripjaws V Series DDR4 PC4-25600 3200MHz for Intel Z170 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-32GVK

I built a gaming PC recently and ordered this memory for my system. Everything worked great for a couple weeks until a sudden power outage caused the memory to stop working effectively bricking my machine.

My set up was 16GB @3200 (2x8GB) and I needed something faster for video editing purposes. So I did a little research and these looked like they would work. To be fair, they did work, no compatibility issue warnings popped up but in practical use, having the 32GB Ripjaws V @3200 (2x16GB) did not increase the speed of the editing. To make sure I was giving these a fair shot I purchased the exact same 2x8GB as my old RAM (T-Force Delta RGB @3200) and installed them for a total of 32GB @3200 (4x8GB) and this sped everything up much faster. I know that some people believe the 4x8 will be faster than 2x16 but with dual channel it should not be a real difference. It could be a compatibility issue with my MOBO (Asrock B450M Pro 4) but there were no indications that would be a problem. I didnt want to give these a bad score in case it was a compatability issue I was not aware of of if for some reason there is that big of a difference between 2x16GB vs 4x8GB, but if there is no such issue then these should get a 1 star because they basically matched the 2x8GB T-Force and were blown out of the water by the 4x8GB set up. I would not look at these if you have the same MOBO as me, go for the T-Force.

Item was what I expected. Goods numbers when I ran a test program. Will handle 90% of new games.

The only time I have ever had memory errors was with Corsair RAM. I’ve used g.skill in 3 different systems and have never had any issues. This is verified using memtest+. My Corsair Vengeance RAM kept crashing my games after only a couple of years so I decided to switch back to old reliable/affordable G.Skill. Haven’t had a problem since. They also look cool.

It works well with XMP profile (3200 MHz) on Ryzen 1800x, Asrock B450M Pro 4 (after BIOS update to 2.0)

Havent OC yet, have not the time for that. But works perfect with the i7-6700k, m2 950 and the gigabyte z170gt. A little cheaper would be good or at least a better latency, but was a good enough deal. Something to consider, I have not get more that 6.5Gb used yet. So 16Gb are still a lot and 8Gb enough, but 32Gb looks grate.

I ordered this for my new i7 gaming PC and it worked flawlessly and is over-clockable. Im ordering another set as soon as my funds allow me to Best RAM for the value!

Decent ram modules for a decent price. In order to change clock speeds from 2133MHz to 3200MHz you must enable xmp profile. Ran a windows memory test and tested with MemTest86, both tests showed ram as being stable with no faults. 3594MHz max boost clock speeds achieved in MemTest86 so these can be overclocked way beyond 3200MHz but clock speeds that high will shorten life span of the ram modules considerably due to higher power requirements. No complaints here yet but time will tell with reliability and lifespan. Using Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite mobo with latest bios flash, AMD 3600x and EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 Super.

I would be careful trying these. My PC didnt want to boot with this RAM installed. I spent a whole weekend trying to get this RAM to work and I ended up just sending it back. I dont know if I somehow just got 2 bad sticks or what but this ram did not want run right.
