G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (8 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9Q2-32GBZH

Pros: Runs fast, stable, and cool. Short heat spreaders... most, if not all, cpu fans should fit over these with no problems.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I was having major problems with my recent build. At first, I thought it was this memory. But seeing how strongly G.Skill stands behind their products induced me to look elsewhere for the issue. It turned out there was a barely bent socket pin causing all the issues.

Another note: XMP set VCC to 1.25, which, while it does work flawlessly as advertised, seems pretty high to achieve 2133 MHz. Though your mileage may vary, these sticks work great on my system with VCC set to 1.1.

Pros: All 8 sticks in one box helps to eliminate any errors in terms of the manufacturing of any RAM stick, as they were all made together (I hope that makes sense to everyone, because that explanation is a pain).

Heatsinks work VERY well. Some of the best cooling for RAM I have ever seen.

Wicked fast, although I am not they particular guy who benchmarks his RAM

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Came with a nifty G.SKILL sticker/emblem!

Pros: XMP no problems

Cons: i dont know at this time

Pros: very nice looking memory great quality in workmen ship looks great on my asrock extreme 9 motherboard matches the color of my motherboard perfect

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I am running eight sticks of G skill Ripjaw Z @ 2133 32G and it works great no issues setting it up I gave it 5stars based on the packing of it the quality of workmen ship and the performance of it

Pros: - runs very fast
- runs cool
- nice lower- profile form factor...great for tight spaces on MoBos!

Cons: none so far

Pros: I've been buying G.Skill ripjaws because my huge Noctua NH-D14 cpu, and these fit jjavascript:Biz.Feedback.RateProduct.Form.submit('display')ust fine under.

XMP set up was super easy and passed memtest with flying color

Cons: Was little uncomfortable to leave my VCCSA at 1.5v at default XMP setting, and have read it would degrade my CPU 3930k rev. C2 in some forum... so I manually reduced VCCSA down to 1.15v or something like that... and no problems at all.

Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. Glad to hear the memory was easy to set up and it works flawlessly. VCCSA definitely should not be 1.50V, make sure it is reduced to the value shown for XMP Profile. With 8 modules of DDR3-2133, stress is surely very high for the CPU memory controller, so a slight boost is commonly needed. With the proper voltages and settings in BIOS/EFI, the memory should be fast and stable in your computer. With 32GB of DDR3-2133, your computer should be capable of anything you put it to. Multi-tasking of memory intensive programs should be no problem at all. For any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you

Pros: This is relatively less expensive than corsair. This RAM really delivers on working without a hitch. I own a RIVE and at stock cpu settings I used the XMP profile and the RAM OC'ed automatically without a hitch. In fact, I was able to undervolt this from 1.65 to 1.58 running intelburn and prime95 successfully. I even overclocked my CPU to 4.3GHz and still undervolted at 1.64. I have a noctua NH-D14 and it fits over the RAM just enough.

Cons: according to gskills website there are only a few boards it is rated for.

Other Thoughts: worked first time out of the box and fits on a RIVE with even the biggest air coolers. Can be undervolted.

Pros: I used this memory in a recent new build and have had zero problems with this kit. considering its size and speed. It initially boots at 1600mhz with loose 11-11-11 timings but will accept 9-9-9 at 1600. but with the click of the mouse you can really turn it up to 2133mhz with no stability problems whatsoever.

Cons: It would have been nice to have a temp sensor. But so far they have only gotten warm to the touch. so I quess its not needed

Other Thoughts: I used these in a recent X79 build and have been pleased so far. So, if your building an X79 and want 32gb of fast memory. you cant go wrong with these.

Pros: nice and fast

Cons: 4x8 gigs woulda been better, but the price sold it for me

Other Thoughts: never used G skill before. so far its working great at the OC speed of 2133mhz.

Pros: Fastest and most stable memory I have ever owned.

Cons: XMP profile needs to be tweaked on some motherboards, BIOS updates usually fix any issues.

Dear Customer

Thank you for your G.Skill purchase and review. Glad to hear the memory is working fast and stable in your computer. This is a very high performance kit that will provide outstanding results in an X79 platform. You are correct in that not all motherboards can fully support this memory just yet, so for absolutely no problems, please use a motherboard on the G.Skill Qualified Motherboard List for this particular model. A motherboard on the QML will work flawlessly with the XMP enabled. It takes one click to achieve maximum performance. Should you have any further questions or issues, please feel free to contact us directly.

Thank you
