This is for the G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB (4 x 16GB) F4-3000C14Q-64GVK I took a gamble on this kit and here's why I chose it: - I don't need bling so I went with a kit that had no RGB. This made it slightly cheaper. - This is the good Samsung B-die with the tight CL14 timings (14-14-14-34). It’s slightly more expensive than the hynix kits, but the timings are better, it’s more universally compatible, and you can probably OC it with less effort. - And It’s oc’ing great, but understand why …. A big fair warning … I’m using this 4 x16 – 64GB kit on a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master motherboard. Gigabyte’s flagship Z390 boards use T topology for DRAM, which actually favors four slots populated. Look this up if you don’t understand.

Look this up if you don’t understand. So I knew that the chances of getting a decent stable OC increased by using the Z390 Master board populated in all four slots. That was a very important part of my decision. I used Z390 Master BIOS F6 (current stable) under MIT > Advanced Memory Settings > Extreme Memory Profile > select Profile 1 (this should initially ID your ram at the correct 3000) Then under System Memory Multiplier > select DDR4 3200 from the drop down (After doing this don’t worry if second column still shows 3000 or whatever lower your currently running at – your save and reboot will reset this) After selecting DDR4 3200 go to ‘Memory Timing Mode’ and set it to ‘Advanced manual’ - this allows you to control and set both channels. Then under ‘Channel A Memory Sub Timings’ make sure it’s on Advanced Manual Then under Channel A Standard Timing Control > manually set Cas latency > 14 tRCD > 14 tRD > 14 tRAS > 14 And that’s it! This Z390 Master setup is not Ryzen where you have to mess with a calculator, or use Taiphoon burner, or cross your fingers and hope this works. Or go deeper into sub timings. Voltages adjusted automatically on the Z390 Master and this runs around 1.35 to 1.36 ram vltge to maintain the RAM OC. Tested with Aida64 and Memtest – stable. Idle RAM temp low 30’s, prolonged stress test maxed around 43C – that’s in a very well ventilated case with a total 7 Noctua case fans in a custom setup favoring cooling the HDD's, including a 120mm intake fan blowing directly on the RAM. Operating \ editing RAM temp around mid 30’s. This worked on the Z390 Master and would probably work the same on the Gigabyte Z390 Extreme, Ultra or Pro Wifi – all boards favoring population of 4 slots. Buying 2 sticks of this? Then maybe, maybe not. The whole point of the OC gamble was to take advantage of Gigabytes T topology favoring 4 slot population. Using Asus or Asrock? Again… maybe this will OC well, maybe not. This is still also as silicon lottery and setup dependent as any potential RAM OC. ymmv and what worked for me my or may not work for you. Also, OC voids your warranty. Total setup – this is an editing rig (why I went 64GB); I very rarely game: i9 9900K not OC’d, but custom settings for performance (favoring high pwr draw), but no extra CPU vltge was set or needed to support the RAM OC - all auto Z390 Aorus Master this 4 x 16 – 64GB kit oc’d to 3200 - 14 GTX 1080 Noctua NH D15 EVGA 750 W G2 Gold 5 x 7200 rpm HDD’s 1 970 EVO nVME Design R6 – 7 Noctua case fans Happy oc'ing!

Shopping for DDR4 ram seemed to require a little more attention then normal. I noticed in many cases of ram running at the same speed some would be 1.2v while others would go all the way up to 1.35v. Even under the same brand you can find 2800mhz at 1.2v, 1.25v, up to 1.35v all with the same timings. My thought process was to find the fastest ram possible at 1.2v. It appeared that once 2800mhz was reached most ram went up to 1.35v so I set my sights on 2800mhz at 1.2v. Because of the lower voltage I suspected I could get the same speeds of the more expensive 3000mhz + while paying less which happened to work out extremely well for me. At the stock 16-16-16-36 timings I was easily able to reach 3200mhz stable at 1.25v which is what I ended up sticking with.

With voltage at stock 1.2v and 16-16-16-36 timings running the ram at 3066mhz is about the max I could reach. Tighter timings at that voltage or more speed would cause an occasional game to crash after 30-60min of play. I was able to 3400mhz by raising the voltage to 1.35v but at that speed I had to adjust the timings to 16-17-16-36. I suspect with some more time spent on tweaking I could get it to run 3600mhz stable but after 3200mhz the extra stress on the ram didn't seem worth the marginal performance improvement. At the stock 2800mhz and 1.2v running 15-15-15-35 and even 14-15-14-34 required no effort at all though performance was much better by increasing speed even if it is only by a little. Fortunately they had a small discount for this when I purchased and would definitely recommend for those looking for good performance at a cheap price. I don't know about the 1.25v and 1.3v sticks rated at 2800mhz but these 1.2v sticks have a lot of potential.

Love the sticker. Would buy again. Installed with Hyper 212 Evo with no clearance issues. Looks like there would be no clearance issues if I put two more in slots 1 and 3... hmmm OC UPDATE! 6/15/16 This is an update from original review. Paired 6600k with an ASUS GTX 970 Strix GPU. Using MSI Bios, I was able to overclock CPU to 4.5 Ghz with a Vcore of 1.305 (FCLK set at 1000, Cache at 4.2 Ghz). DRAM gave me stability issues (BSOD) at XMP 3000 Mhz. Solution was to bump up VCCSA and VCCIO to 1.2 volts. Used Intel XTU (Came with the motherboard) to stress test CPU and DRAM. I ran both tests two times for 30 minutes and passed. Then I enabled EIST and Turbo Boost, set C-States to Auto, ran both tests a third time, passed and called it good enough. Room Temp: 26c CPU ... MoreLove the sticker. Would buy again.

G.SKILL is the worst company I've ever dealt with and has no understanding of the concept of customer service. I bought a KM780MX mechanical keyboard from that a while back that was defective out of the box and I went back and forth with them for months with no solution. I RMA'ed the keyboard only to have it sent back saying the warranty was denied because of damage, when there is clearly no damage at all. Kept in contact with them and they wouldn't budge so I took it to the BBB and they completely ignored it along with all email I sent after that point. Worst customer service experience of my life. And to make it worst of the issues with the keyboard, and yes there are multiple, is that it will just randomly start typing gibberish and keep going and going, and I've ... MoreG.SKILL is the worst company I've ever dealt with and has no understanding of the concept of customer service.

So if you don't want to end up with faulty products of a company that refuses to take care of their warranty issues, then don't buy from G.SKILL, I know I never will again. I know using my other G.SKILL purchases as a way to vent my frustrations is probably the wrong way to go about it, but this company makes me so mad and people need to know that this is how they're going to be treated if they buy these products. And quite frankly their other products that I purchased in the past (including this one) are garbage anyway. I hope this will help someone make an informed decision to buy a better product.
I am a moderately-savvy computer build guy, no expert. My mobo (Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5) shipped with BIOS version 'F1' and would not boot with the memory XMP set to 3000MHz (NOV15). After some tinkering and frustration I gave up and just settled on 2133MHz. Now I can afford another 16GB and was considering switching to another brand but Google told me to try updating my BIOS - lo and behold there was a new version 'F4' released 2 weeks ago (MAR16). It runs at 3000MHz 15-15-15-35 now after going into the BIOS and enabling XMP profile. This worked for my setup, hopefully it helps someone else. Its possible that version F2 or F3 could have fixed this problem, my fault? Mobo's fault? Sure, but still only giving 4/5 for not working out of the box as represented. ... MoreI am a moderately-savvy computer build guy, no expert.

I bought this to go with my custom built gaming rig and when I was ready to test them out my motherboard was dead on arrival, I'm already in the RMA process for the mobo and already ordered a new mobo so the wait is a little bit longer right now. The main reason I bought this was for the lifetime warranty. The second reason I bought this is I wanted 64gb of ram the 3rd reason I bought this is they are pretty red. Now the photos are showing a bright red but the actual item has a red chrome finish on the ram which is more pretty. Will recommend for the lifetime warranty only. A little more expensive but way worth it.
Was afraid it wouldn't work at listed speed in my Ryzen 5 2400G APU build. Almost gave me a heart attack when the system wouldn't POST after I swapped it in for the 2400mhz place-holder ram. A BIOS reset later got me into the BIOS, set the XMP settings to on, memory speed set itself to 2933mhz and the system booted normally.

I haven't gotten to change from stock frequency (2133 Mhz), but wanted to post that I can confirm it DOES work on my ASRock x99x. Seeing if it will work and be stable above 3000 Mhz remains to be seen (will update here when i can). UPDATE: I have overclocked the RAM. The XMP profile set to 3200Mhz wasn't stable at the profile settings. I had to manually set it and increase the voltage to at most 1.500V. I plan on incrementally lowering it to find the least amount. But I have used AIDA64 Business to stress test and benchmark, and it is most impressive -- Only the Supermicro 16x+ Octal channel could outdo the RAM, X99X, 5820k (OC'ed to 4.2 Ghz) combination set on my rig (*benchmarks are compared to stock specs, obviously).
These were not my first choice, but I decided to only buy a kit that was listed on my motherboards official approved memory list. And after comparing all those, I decided on these, because any kits that were faster with comparable or tighter relative timings cost MUCH more money. So at the time of this writing these seem to me to occupy the "biggest bang for your buck" spot (I primarily use this machine for gaming, so I prefer tight timings, lower latency, over sky high frequencies) My motherboard is a GIGABYTE Z170X Gaming 7, and these ran perfectly on it. Even with the original launch version of the BIOS installed (F2) they overclocked to the XMP Profile perfectly (voltages and timings confirmed in both BIOS and software) I also upgraded the BIOS to newest ... MoreThese were not my first choice, but I decided to only buy a kit that was listed on my motherboards official approved memory list. And after comparing all those, I decided on these, because any kits that were faster with comparable or tighter relative timings cost MUCH more money.

Even with the original launch version of the BIOS installed (F2) they overclocked to the XMP Profile perfectly (voltages and timings confirmed in both BIOS and software) I also upgraded the BIOS to newest available at time (F5) and manually tightened the timing of the XMP Profile to a Command Rate of 1T and ran Memtest86 for over four hours with Zero Problems. It's a beautiful thing when things simply work as intended
