G,Skill Ripjaws X 2133MHz 8GB Kit Review
CineBench, wPrime and PC Mark Vantage
Published: 19th May 2011 | Source: G.Skill | Price: |
CineBench
Rendering always stresses the entire system very hard indeed. The Ripjaws X 8GB kit is certainly up to the task though, just shy of the Kingston Genesis.
wPrime95
Whilst the 32M test is almost over before it's begun, and therefore less demonstrative of performance inequality, the 1 Billion place test really highlights and slender gains that are to be had and the G.Skill Ripjaws X just edges to the top of our graph.
PC Mark Vantage
Finally the Memory suite in PC Mark Vantage has the Ripjaws X just shaded by the Genesis, but by no means disgraced at all.

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.

Damn I do like the colour, I can imagine it in a Iron Man themed case, good timings as well, good honest thorogh review as always, many thanks
I can't find them anywhere to buy. How much are they gonna cost?

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
