It does the job
Low cost version of Gskill's memory, it does not demerit for all that. Exit the aluminium radiator on the Ripjaw, we have a vulgar metallic sticker which should not dissipate much but it is more cosmetic already than having nothing.
After many problems (5 ram kits tested on the z170 platform without being able to exceed 2600Mhz on a single strip), I took the opposite approach and went for an x99 platform with one of the latest Intel CPUs. And there bim! 2 kits of 64Gb, 8 strips for a total of 128Gb at 2400Mhz which start up the first time with the XMP profile.
I have to say that this is a change!
In retrospect, the DDR management is catastrophic on this generation. The Skylake memory controller is a scandal of instability, and it takes a lot of overclocking of the VSA and VCCIO just to support even the smallest XMP profile.) This is not so much the fault of the memory manufacturers. In the tests, very little difference between 3200Mhz and 2133 or 2400. So there is no need to invest in very fast ram.
In this respect, the GSkill kit is the best value for money for applications that require a lot of ram (photos, videos, etc.). Also, just disabling the swap file completely and loading everything into the ram really speeds up the system too.
