G.Skill 16GB 2400MHz RipJaws DDR4 Memory Review

Final Thoughts

Pricing (accurate at the time of writing)

In the UK G.Skill’s 16GB RipJaws 4 2400MHz kit can be had for £239.99 at Overclockers in Black, Blue and Red. In the USA they can be had for $279.99 at Newegg in Black, Blue and Red. The G.Skill RipJaws kits come with a lifetime warranty. Consumers interested in other configurations should know G.Skill currently make 2133 to 3300MHz RipJaws DDR4 kits in 4 or 8GB modules.

Summary

Given that all DDR4 memory performs fairly close to each other in real-world scenarios excelling in other non-performance areas becomes important. This is something G.Skill have done very well with over the years and something they continue to demonstrate with their RipJaws 4 products. G.Skill offer a range of colours, speeds and capacities to appeal to a wide variety of users and best of all the pricing is very competitive. You’re also reassured by the lifetime warranty that is offered.

On the performance side there’s nothing bad to say: overall performance was solid even if overclocking didn’t gain as much as I’d hoped for. Best of all the latency on these G.Skill modules was fantastic further reaffirming the strength of Hynix ICs for overclockers and performance enthusiasts.

Pros

• Excellent latency
• Range of colours, speeds and capacities
• Lifetime warranty

Cons

• Limited overclocking headrooms
• Could be lower in profile

“G.Skill’s RipJaws 4 DDR4 memory kits offer a great balance of looks, value for money and performance. It’s no wonder G.Skill have become an increasingly popular choice for memory.”
