G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB DDR4 Desktop RAM Kit - Black

great performance for the price. can run at least 4 chrome tabs great performance for the price. can run at least 4 chrome tabs

I already had set of dual-channel (paired) F4-3200C16-8GVKB running in my Rzyen 5600 based system. I purchased another set to add to my existing set.

The existing RAM works with no issues. For those unfamiliar with the concept, RAM has a normal speed, and an overclocked tested DCOP/XMP speed. The advertised memory speed is always the OVERCLOCKED memory speed, in this case 3200MHz. By default most motherboards do not enable DCOP/XMP overclocking, instead they will run this RAM at 2133MHz. To lift the RAM's speed to the advertised 3200Mz, I had to enable AMD DCOP (Intel XMP) in the motherboard BIOS. Both G.Skill and ASUS explicitly state ...view more I already had set of dual-channel (paired) F4-3200C16-8GVKB running in my Rzyen 5600 based system.

To lift the RAM's speed to the advertised 3200Mz, I had to enable AMD DCOP (Intel XMP) in the motherboard BIOS. Both G.Skill and ASUS explicitly state that combining separate sets may not work. Many folk on the web say they're had success in doing so. If run at normal speed, not DCOP/XMP speed, the chances are there will be no issues. I thought I'd take the risk.

With all four sticks installed, with DCOP set to 3200MHz, my system would not boot, and the memory issue LED stayed on. I switched off the system for a minute or two (to let capacitors/etc drain), powered up, the ASUS board feel back to safe settings, reported the error, and booted into the BIOS. I looked up the AMD Ryzen 5600 spec and found that with 4 sticks of Rank-1 (single sided sticks) the Ryzen 5600's supported max memory speed drops from 3200MHz to 2933 MHz. Given the RAM is two unmatched sets, DCOP overclocking to 3200MHz might be a bit strong. After a few tries at 3200MHz, I dropped the DCOP speed to 3166MHz and the system booted and was stable. Just to be sure I dropped down to 3000MHz, ran eight hours of RAM tests, and all seems fine. The decrease between 3200 and 3000 is only about 6%, which is unnoticeable. I've been using the system for a few days now, and everything seems fine. Subsequent research has established that it is normal for fours sticks of 3200MHz overclocked-RAM to have to be set to 3000MHz, so I'm sticking with that.

As per the title this ram is great value for 3200 speed, just make sure you adjust the setting is BIOS as most motherboards set it to 2666 speed by default.

I bought 16GB for my first PC build, and recently bought another 16GB. It is fast and stable and I think it is almost the standard for budget/mid range PCs. Make sure to enable XMP in your BIOS in order to get the 3200MHz.

Pros:
- Great price
- Fast and stable

Cons:
- None I can think of. You have to enable XMP in your BIOS but aside from that it is a great purchase in a good price bracket. I bought 16GB for my first PC build, and recently bought another 16GB.

The ram works perfectly with no problems putting it in. No problem with the chips and they make every game much more responsive. A fair price for what you get. Id recommend these for anyone in need of upgrading their ram. The ram works perfectly with no problems putting it in. No problem with the chips and they make every game much more responsive.

great ram , works well on my ASRock B450 Steel Legend ATX motherboard and Ryzen gen 3, great ram , works well on my ASRock B450 Steel Legend ATX motherboard and Ryzen gen 3,

Works perfectly in my build, may buy another pair in future just because they're so cheap :) Works perfectly in my build, may buy another pair in future just because they're so cheap :)

got this for a discount and put it intop MAG x570 Tomahawk. works well, set the speed at 3200Mhz, PC works fine. got this for a discount and put it intop MAG x570 Tomahawk. works well, set the speed at 3200Mhz, PC works fine.

Used it for my spare rig and it worked straight away. Not flashy but does the job well. Highly recommended if you get it in discount. Used it for my spare rig and it worked straight away. Not flashy but does the job well. Highly recommended if you get it in discount.

I absolutely have had no troubles with this brand of ram, simple to install, and works great! I absolutely have had no troubles with this brand of ram, simple to install, and works great!

It's memory... It does what it must - it's ONLY purpose in life LoL - No problem running 4 sticks at 3200mhz in an ASUS Prime B560 MB.
Just go to your BIOS and make sure your Memory speed is set at 3200. Not higher! it won't boot.
Got this on a great HOT Price.
G-Skill has always been very good to me. It's memory... It does what it must - it's ONLY purpose in life LoL - No problem running 4 sticks at 3200mhz in an ASUS Prime B560 MB.
