  • Quad-channel kit quadruples bandwidth for responsive multitasking
  • CL9 9-9-9-24 timings deliver low-latency DDR3 1600 performance
  • 50V operation reduces heat and improves platform compatibility
  • Red heat spreader on every DIMM maintains stability under load
  • Intel XMP support simplifies setup on LGA1155, LGA1156 and AMD AM3 platforms

Ripjaws X Series DDR3 1600 quad-channel kit

This G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series kit delivers 16 GB of DDR3 1600 memory across four 4 GB modules. It is built for Intel LGA1155, LGA1156 and AMD AM3, Llano and AM3+ platforms that benefit from quad-channel bandwidth. The CL9 9-9-9-24 timings provide low-latency response for daily workloads and gaming.

Heat spreader thermals and 1.50 V operation

Each module carries a red heat spreader that moves heat away from the DRAM to keep temperatures in check during sustained loads. The kit runs at a standard 1.50 V, so power draw stays modest and compatibility with a wide range of motherboards is straightforward. No active cooling is required for normal use.

Intel XMP profiles for 1st to 3rd Gen Core

Intel XMP support lets the firmware apply the rated 1600 MHz speed and CL9 timings automatically on 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. The quad-channel layout removes the need for manual frequency or voltage tuning in most cases. Every module is 100 % tested to ensure stability out of the box.

Questions about this item

Will this quad-channel kit work with my Intel LGA1155 motherboard?

The kit is validated for Intel LGA1155 and LGA1156 platforms and uses DDR3 1600 modules running at 1.50 V with XMP profiles for 1st to 3rd Generation Intel Core processors.

Can I install these four 4 GB sticks alongside my existing two 4 GB DDR3 1600 modules?

Mixing kits is possible only if speed, timing 9-9-9-24, voltage 1.50 V and CAS latency CL9 match exactly; otherwise the system will default to the slowest common settings.

Does the red heat spreader clear standard CPU coolers?

The Ripjaws X Series heat spreader is designed for low-profile clearance, but you should verify your cooler’s DIMM gap against the module height before ordering.
