8 GB dual-channel DDR3 kit

This G.SKILL Ripjaws Series kit provides 8 GB of DDR3 memory in a matched pair of 4 GB modules. It runs at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of CL9 and timing of 9-9-9-24 at 1.50 V. The unbuffered, non-ECC DIMMs are built for standard desktop platforms.

240-pin DDR3 desktop upgrades

The kit suits owners of DDR3 systems that accept 240-pin DIMMs and can use a dual-channel 2 x 4 GB configuration at the rated speed and voltage. It is not intended for laptops, servers requiring registered or ECC memory, or platforms that only support newer DDR generations.

CL9 9-9-9-24 at 1.50 V

The decisive specification is the rated latency and voltage: CL9 with 9-9-9-24 timings at 1.50 V. If your motherboard and CPU memory controller require different timings or a lower voltage for stability, this kit may not be the correct match.

Questions about this item

Will these two 4 GB modules work together in my dual-channel motherboard?

Yes, the kit is a matched dual-channel pair of two 4 GB DIMMs designed to run together at DDR3 1600 with CL9 timing.

Does my motherboard need to support 1.5 V DDR3 memory?

The modules operate at 1.5 V, the standard voltage for DDR3, so any board that takes DDR3 DIMMs will supply the correct voltage.

Are the heat spreaders tall enough to block a large CPU cooler?

The Ripjaws comb-style spreaders are low-profile and typically clear most tower coolers, but check your cooler’s clearance spec if space is very tight.
