Very Little RAM Overclocking Potential beyond 2133MHz
Overall, I am very impressed with the Ripjaws X 2133Mhz RAM. They retail for $73 (2 x 4Gb kit) and are also available in larger 2 x 8Gb kits not to mention the wide variety of Ripjaws of different speeds and timings to allow you to find the RAM that perfe...
There is an old adage in the PC market that states memory is memory, and the difference between one kit to another is not enough for any one particular kit to stand out. We disagree with this notion, as every kit of memory is unique from the heatsin...
Final Words & Conclusion Dual-channel performance with the second generation Sandy Bridge processors just rocks, actually it rocks extremely hard. One can only imaging what is going to happen with the upcoming Ivy bridge processor supporting ever fas...
In a word: Impressive. Not only did G.Skill send a 32 GB kit of RAM rated at blistering-for-the-density speeds, it even overclocked past what any normal person would need. SuperPi 32M stable at DDR3-2304 is stellar! Sure, you have to raise the voltage t...
Works at advertised speed and voltages on all Intel platforms (Z68, P67 and X79 tested), Highest 8 GB module frequency we've seen so far on the market, XMP v1.3 profile for each Intel socket, Low memory controller voltage (VCCIO) required, less than 16 GB
Limited Overclocking, High per-stick price for the size, offset by capability, Huge size may have it overlooked, Intel LGA1155 Certification for two sticks only
I really enjoyed playing with the G.Skill F3-2133C9Q-32GXH kit. I was shocked at first to find the low required VCCIO, and then by the speed offered, seemingly coming from nowhere. Considering the fairly slow timings, I really did not expect this kit t...

This set of G.Skill Ripjaws X is a very solid investment for any system being built. At a capacity of 8 GB and guaranteed to run at up to 2133 MHz (9-11-10-27), it provides a lot of flexibility. It is more than enough to run any game, minor video editi...

Tall heatsink may pose clearance issue for some CPU coolers
The RipjawsX memory modules have awesome looking heatspreaders which will be a great addition to any modder's or gamer's rig. That being said the 2133MHz frequency allows for a marked increase in performance and even an improvement in latency, which m...
The G.Skill Ripjaws X 2133MHz 8GB kit certainly has a lot going for it.On the plus side it's blazingly fast. 8GB 2133 MHz kits aren't a segment of the marketplace where there is a huge choice and so to see one of the few available kits being pushed hard a...
Attractive design, Only 8GB dual channel 2133 MHz kit available, Silence II cooler included, X.M.P. Profile
Heatspreaders might cause some clearance issues
8GB dual channel memory kits that run at 2133 MHz are few and far between, looking online at my favorite retailer this is the ONLY 8GB dual channel kit available! That puts G.Skill in a unique position being one of the only manufacturer’s to offer thi...

Memory can be one of the most frustrating items to choose from. Usually you know from the start what the CPU and Motherboard will be but selecting the memory can be a real learning experience. There are several specs you need to consider but for the m...
