G.SKILL Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 1600 Module

This G.SKILL Ripjaws module provides 4GB of DDR3 1600 memory for desktop systems. It operates at PC3 12800 speed with CL9 latency and 1.50V voltage. The unbuffered, non-ECC design includes a heat spreader for thermal management.

Suits LGA1155 LGA1156 AM3 AM3+ Upgrades

This kit suits owners of Intel LGA1155 or LGA1156 platforms and AMD AM3, Llano or AM3+ platforms seeking a 4GB DDR3 upgrade. Intel XMP support simplifies configuration on 1st to 3rd Generation Core processors. Systems requiring ECC, registered modules, or a different DDR generation should select alternative memory.

240-Pin DDR3 1600 CL9 1.50V Specification

The decisive specification is the 240-pin DDR3 1600 interface with CL9 9-9-9-24-2N timing at 1.50V. Only motherboards supporting DDR3 at this pin count and voltage can use this module. Verify the platform matches the listed Intel and AMD sockets before purchase.

Questions about this item

At what voltage does the module hit its thermal limit during sustained workloads?

The Ripjaws module is rated for 1.50V operation; the low-profile heat spreader with finned heatsink is designed to keep temperatures in check at that voltage during extended use.

How much fan noise or extra heat should I expect when this stick runs all day?

The aluminium heat spreader passively dissipates heat, so the module adds no fan noise and only minimal case-temperature rise during continuous operation.

Which motherboard socket must I already have for this DDR3 1600 stick to work?

Compatibility is listed for Intel LGA1155 and LGA1156 platforms as well as AMD AM3, AM3+ and Llano sockets.
