Ripjaws X 8 GB DDR3 Kit

This Ripjaws X Series kit provides 8 GB of DDR3 memory in a matched pair of 4 GB modules rated at 2133 MT/s. It targets enthusiasts upgrading Intel LGA1155 or AMD Llano and AM3+ platforms who want a tested dual-channel configuration.

XMP Profile and Heat Spreader

The kit includes an Intel XMP profile for 2nd and 3rd Generation Core processors so the rated 9-11-10-28 timings load automatically. A blue heat spreader on each DIMM moves heat away from the ICs to help sustain stability at 1.65 V.

Unbuffered Non-ECC Build

These unbuffered, non-ECC DIMMs install in standard desktop slots without registration overhead. The dual-channel kit layout simplifies population rules on supported boards, and the 1.65 V operating voltage stays within the spec for the named platforms.

Questions about this item

Will this dual-channel kit work on an Intel LGA1155 motherboard?

Yes, the kit is validated for Intel LGA1155 platforms and supports XMP profiles on 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors for automatic 2133 MHz operation.

Does the 1.65 V rating require a motherboard that can supply that voltage?

The modules run at 1.65 V; your motherboard must support this voltage for stable operation at the rated 2133 MHz speed.

Can I add this kit alongside an existing two 4 GB DDR3 kit for 8 GB total?

This kit provides 8 GB in two 4 GB modules; mixing with another kit is possible but matched modules from the same kit give the best stability at 2133 MHz CL9.
