RipjawsV Series DDR4 RAM (XMP) 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MT/s CL16-19-19-39 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory U-DIMM - Black (F4-3600C16D-16GVKC)

Upgraded to the G.SKILL and it has been flawless. The installation was simple as are all DDR4 RAMs and enabling XMP was a breeze. A great addition is if you are unfamiliar with working inside your BIOS, they offer easy to follow turtorials. System stability has been excellent. There has been no crashes, even under heavy gaming, virtual machines for work, and stress testing. Performance-wise, the difference is noticeable. Multitasking is smoother, and productivity workloads run without bottlenecks. Temperature control is well done as well For the price, build quality, and reliability, this RAM offers great value. I easily recommend it should you be looking to have better functionality within you desktop

Ram has been working for years and had no complications. Will definitely buy this brand again.

The G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 kit is a staple for a reason, offering a "set it and forget it" reliability that is perfect for budget-conscious builders who prioritize performance over flashy lights. The 42mm low-profile heat spreader is a major win for compatibility, easily clearing larger air coolers that often crowd the RAM slots, while the stamped aluminum design provides efficient heat dissipation without adding unnecessary bulk. It’s important to remember that you must enable XMP 2.0 in your BIOS to reach the advertised speeds (like 3200MHz or 3600MHz), otherwise, it will default to the standard 2133MHz. While the lack of RGB might be a downside for those wanting a "Christmas tree" build, the limited lifetime warranty and rock-solid stability during gaming or heavy multitasking make this one of the most cost-effective, high-quality upgrades you can drop into a DDR4-based system.

This review is for G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series (Intel XMP) DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MT/s CL16-19-19-39 1.35V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM - Black (F4-3600C16D-32GVKC). I have used G.Skill in several builds over the years, and I have never run into an issue with them. They also offer lifetime warranty that they stand behind. I liked this set for its combination of price, speed, timings, and voltage. I have this same memory kit in a 4 x 16 GB configuration (64 GB), but after using it for many years in two different systems, one of the RAM sticks had gone bad. So, while that set is off to G.Skill for RMA, I am using this 2 x 16 GB (32GB) kit in its place. G.Skill, and most memory makers, do not guarantee two kits of RAM to work together at overclocked or XMP rated speeds. So, if you are hoping to use two of these kits on a MB that supports 4 x 16GB RAM, you would be better off buying a single 4 x 16GB kit instead. It would alleviate so much confusion for buyer's who don't know how OC'd RAM works if manufacturers would start listing how OC'd RAM works on the packaging and in the details. This is something that all RAM manufacturers are guilty of. For those who don't know how OC'd RAM works. It is usually set to run at JEDEC (non-OC) speed out of the box. You usually have to go into the UEFI BIOS and manually set the bandwidth, timings, voltage, and command rate, or select XMP (if you have a MB and RAM that both support XMP) to get it to run at the advertised OC'd speed. If you are not familiar with setting up OC'd RAM contact the manufacturer. Many OC'd RAM sets have less than five star reviews from system builders who don't understand that OC'd RAM usually needs to be setup in the UEFI BIOS, so they assume there is a problem with the RAM when there isn't. On a side note, it is technically recommended that you run the RAM at the stock JEDEC speed when setting up a new system (i.e. installing the operating system and the like), however I have never run into an issue having XMP turned on when setting up a new system. Now, I have only used mildly overclocked RAM that did not require over-volting. If I were to run a highly overclocked RAM set that required over-volting, then that system I would definitely setup with the stock JEDEC settings.

Got it for about $80 and now it’s going for about double. Glad it got it when I did. Works perfectly.

Worked great but I did have to make an RMA submittion because it stopped working after less than a year, the RMA ticket was satisfactory but it could be conserning if you're buying it for more than what I did which was less than $60 I believe.

In 2021, I purchased four 16GB memory modules dated 2021 as a factory matched set for a total of 64GB. Based on manufacturer guidance and general industry reliability expectations, this class of memory is typically expected to remain functional for the service life of a personal computer. Contrary to that expectation, two of the 2021 modules failed. Prior to fault isolation, the system exhibited recurring error messages and repeated reboot cycles. Following systematic troubleshooting, the two failed 2021 modules that were identified as bad were removed, leaving the system operating with two remaining modules in dual channel mode, leaving a total of 32GB. The failed modules were marked "BAD" and discarded. Seeking to restore the system to a full 64GB configuration, I replaced the failed modules with two new 16GB modules of identical specification dated 2024. These replacement modules were not part of the original factory matched set and, in addition to differing in year of manufacture, differed by minor, unspecified characteristics. The system operated normally for a brief period before instability reoccurred. After a second round of troubleshooting and component elimination, the two newer 2024 modules were identified as defective and removed. The system is currently operating with the remaining two 2021 16GB modules configured in dual channel mode. This resulted in a reduction from 64GB to 32GB of installed memory. This configuration was selected to prioritize system stability and prevent unexpected shutdowns, particularly during extended writing sessions. To further validate the diagnosis, the two removed 2024 modules were tested in a separate system belonging to my son. Errors were observed in that system as well, confirming hardware-related failure independent of the original system configuration. From a performance perspective, no significant degradation has been observed under normal usage conditions. My system is not used for gaming and is primarily utilized for research and long-form writing tasks. At the time of purchase, the two 2024 modules cost $64.99. As of January 4, 2026, the same modules are priced at $249.99. In summary, two sticks out of four purchased in 2021 failed and two sticks from two purchased in 2024 failed, not a good track record. Based on repeated failures, confirmed cross-system testing, and the resulting reduction in usable memory capacity, I consider this product unreliable. As a result of this experience, I do not intend to purchase G.SKILL memory products again. The bad 2024 modules will not be retained for future use and will meet the same fate as the two 2021 modules. Since the latest changes, I have come back to my computer, which remains on, to find that it has rebooted, but not nearly as frequently as before. I ran Event Viewer to find the causes and will continue to monitor any such other occurrences. Most important to me is "peace of mind" in being able to have confidence that my computer won't reboot midstride during times of writing content for a book in progress.
