Ripjaws DDR3 1066 dual-channel kit

This Ripjaws kit provides 8GB of DDR3 memory in two matched 4GB modules rated at 1066MHz. The CL7 timing and 1.50V voltage deliver responsive operation for desktop systems. A toothed heat spreader assists thermal performance.

Suits LGA1155 LGA1156 AM3 Llano AM3+ builds

The kit is validated for Intel LGA1155 and LGA1156 platforms as well as AMD AM3, Llano and AM3+ platforms. Builders using other socket families should verify compatibility before purchase.

CL7 7-7-7-18 latency at 1.50V

The decisive specification is the CAS latency 7 with 7-7-7-18 timings at the standard 1.50V. This combination determines whether the modules meet the timing budget of a specific motherboard and CPU memory controller.
