Why DDR5 RAM is so expensive now?

DDR5 Memory is pricey due to the surging demand from AI server farms and data centers, which has caused a global memory shortage. This has led memory manufacturers to prioritize more profitable server-grade memory like HBM (high-Bandwidth Memory) over consumer-grade DDR5, drastically reducing supply for consumers while simultaneously causing the prices for both DDR5 and DDR4 to increase.

What is the voltage and timing specification for the G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 DDR5 memory?

The G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 DDR5 memory operates at a voltage of 1.10V with a timing specification of 40-40-40-83.

What is the capacity and configuration of the G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 memory kit?

The G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 memory kit has a capacity of 32GB, which is configured as 2 x 16GB modules.

Awards

Red Dot Design Award 2022

XMP 3.0 Support

Just set and go. Programmed with the latest Intel XMP 3.0 profiles, the only thing between you and overclocked performance is a simple BIOS setting.*

* Enable the XMP profile in the BIOS to reach up to the rated overclock speed of this memory kit. Maximum memory speed and system stability depends on the capability of the motherboard & CPU. The memory kit will boot at the SPD speed when BIOS settings are at default.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

All G.SKILL memory products come with a limited lifetime warranty and the G.SKILL technical team is always ready to provide consumers with complete technical support via online forum, telephone, and email.

* Requires overclocking/BIOS adjustments. Maximum speed and performance depends on system components, including motherboard and CPU.

Ripjaws S5 is a performance DDR5 DRAM memory series designed for compatible Intel platforms, featuring a simple and clean design in matte black or matte white, and a low-profile module height at 33mm.

33mm Low Profile Module Height
Dual OC Profile Support: Intel XMP 3.0 & AMD EXPO™ Memory Overclock Profile
Do not mix memory kits. Memory kits are sold in matched kits that are designed to run together as a set. Mixing memory kits will result in stability issues or system failure.
Prior to enabling XMP or EXPO, memory kits will boot at the SPD speed at default BIOS settings with compatible hardware.
For memory kits with XMP or EXPO, enable XMP/EXPO/DOCP/A-XMP profile in BIOS to reach up to the rated potential XMP or EXPO overclock speed of the memory kit, subject to the use of compatible hardware. Enabling XMP or EXPO is an act of overclocking and requires BIOS setting adjustments.
Reaching the rated XMP/EXPO overclock speed and system stability will depend on the compatibility and capability of the motherboard and CPU used.
Usage in any manner inconsistent with manufacturer specifications, warnings, designs, or recommendations will result in lower speeds, system instability, or damage to the system or its components.

Refer to the G.SKILL memory kit QVL on the G.SKILL website to check motherboard compatibility.

Manufacturer Contact Info

The G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 F5-5200J4040A16GX2-RS5W is a 32GB (2 x 16GB) white DDR5-5200 desktop memory kit for PC builders seeking dual-channel memory with Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profile support.

Recommended For

PC builders who want 32GB for gaming alongside voice chat, browsers, and other apps, without choosing memory primarily to maximize benchmark or frame-rate results.
Builders using a large air cooler who need memory modules with a low profile: G.SKILL lists this kit at 33mm tall, and a Ripjaws S5 review notes its fit with large coolers.
White-themed desktop builders who prefer a clean, non-RGB look; this kit has a matte-white heat spreader and no lighting.
Desktop builders with a compatible Intel or AMD platform who are comfortable enabling XMP or EXPO in BIOS to run the kit at its rated DDR5-5200 profile.

Real-World Use Scenarios

Playing modern PC games on a new desktop: the 32GB capacity provides room for memory-hungry games and Windows to run together; it helps avoid the capacity pressure that can cause stuttering on lower-memory systems, but does not guarantee higher frame rates.
Gaming while keeping Discord and a browser video open: 32GB gives the game and background apps more memory to share, reducing the chance that Windows has to move less-active data to storage; actual headroom depends on the game and other open apps.
Building a compact desktop or using a large CPU air cooler: the low-profile modules are 33mm tall, which can make cooler clearance easier; check the cooler’s clearance before installation.
Setting up a compatible DDR5 system: the kit boots at its default SPD speed, so reaching its rated profile speed requires enabling XMP or EXPO in BIOS; the result and stability depend on the motherboard and CPU.
