G,Skill Ripjaws X 2133MHz 8GB Kit Review
Test Setup and Overclocking
Published: 19th May 2011 | Source: G.Skill | Price: |
Test Setup
8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 2133MHz
EVGA GTX570
Forceware 275.20
Gigabyte Z68X UD5 B3
Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.4 GHz
Be Quiet Dark Power Pro
Windows 7 64 Bit SP1
Overclocking
Overclocking Memory is no longer as easy as it once was, thanks to the methodology employed by the LGA1155 platform. There isn't a choice to go any higher than 2133MHz so we're limited to timing changes.
The Ripjaws X are already at the 1.65v limit so we weren't expecting much as we can't pump some extra voltage through them for stability.
However, we did manage to slightly tighten things from 9-11-9-28-2N to 9-10-9-27-1N, and that will be the basis for our testing today.

Nice performance and price 
I don't like the new style of the Ripjaws I think the original style looked better, still good RAM though.

Cheers i missed that.
I just bought the 4 Gb Kingston Hyper-X 2133Mhz Genesis off the back of OC3D review. Benchies seem pretty similar to these. No need to send them back!

Six of these will put you on 24GB not 12 (assuming 2011 socket will have room for six) or 4x4 = 16GB
Ps not trying to diss you but was just wondering if that could make a difference
OT : I would like to know how these compare to the mushkin red ridline 2133mhz , 8gb which in holland is way below the 150 pound price (starting from €120)
Anyways, cool review as ever

any way more to the point there faster than what the review says they are.
Quick question: Do those fit under the D14, because I know some of the GSkill do fit?
Love to see the 2133MHz on 4GB DIMMs.

(it was ordered by mistake and sent back when i found i didn't need them). As for the timings on the 4gb's well i cannot answer that as i didnt test them for timings at the time. any way more to the point there faster than what the review says they are. |
I have the 1600MHz set of these and they fit just fine under the D-14

same here as member THD above question, here are the prices in the UK:
8GB Mushkin Redline Ridgeback #996997 (2x4G
DDR3 2133MHz 9-11-10-28 £112.62 inc. VAT
8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-17000 2133MHz RipjawsX..£ 146.78 Inc VAT
that makes quite a difference when you purchase 16 GB so I would really like to know, apart from the included fan cooling makes the 8GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-17000 2133MHz RipjawsX. So special?

There speed might be good but i hate the style of the heat sinks so i would never buy them.
That looks like a good memory kit, however I would be more interested in the 8GB Mushkin Redline Ridgeback 2133MHz
