Ripjaws X Series 32 GB DDR3 1600 CL9

This quad-channel kit contains four 8 GB DDR3 modules rated at 1600 MT/s with CL9 9-9-9-24 timings at 1.50 V. It targets enthusiasts building high-bandwidth desktop systems on compatible Intel LGA1155/LGA1156 or AMD AM3/AM3+/Llano platforms. The Ripjaws X heat spreader aids thermal management during sustained loads.

Best for quad-channel platforms.

The kit is designed for chipsets that support four-channel memory operation; on dual-channel-only motherboards only two channels will be active and total bandwidth is halved. Builders using single- or dual-channel consumer chipsets should consider a dual-channel kit instead. Systems requiring ECC or registered DIMMs must look elsewhere because these modules are unbuffered and non-ECC.

Aluminium heat spreader and Intel XMP profiles

Each DIMM includes an aluminium heat spreader in blue that reduces operating temperature without adding height clearance issues. The modules carry Intel XMP profiles for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors, allowing one-click configuration of the rated 1600 MT/s speed and CL9 timings in the BIOS. No additional software or accessories are bundled.

Questions about this item

Do I need a motherboard with four DDR3 slots to use all 32 GB of this quad-channel kit?

Yes, the kit contains four 8 GB modules and requires four DDR3 DIMM slots running in quad-channel mode to reach the full 32 GB capacity.

Will these 1.50 V DDR3 1600 modules work in a system that already has DDR3 installed at a different voltage?

Mixing modules with different voltages is not recommended; the board will default to the highest voltage present, which can destabilise the 1.50 V sticks.

How can I confirm the kit is running at DDR3 1600 with CL9 timings after installation?

Enter the BIOS or use a tool such as CPU-Z to verify the memory frequency shows 800 MHz (DDR3 1600) and the timings read 9-9-9-24.
