Not for the faint of wallet
Its been less than three weeks since G.Skill announced its big and bad Ripjaws 128GB DDR4-3000MHz memory kit, and now its back with another kit thats just as big and even faster at 3,200MHz.
Like the previous offering, this newest Ripjaws V series memory kit consists of eight 16GB modules, so if youre shelling out for this thing, make sure your motherboard has enough DIMM slots (and can support 128GB).
Capacity isnt the only thing thats big about this kit, so is the price. G.Skills MSRP is a penny shy of $1,070. Before forking over that kind of dough, youll want to assess your needs hyper-carefully to (A) see if you can utilize 128GB of RAM and if not, then (B) determine if youre willing to spend that kind of a premium on bragging rights.
Okay, enough of all that. Moving on, the new kit is designed for Intels X99 platform, which tops out official support at 128GB. Its rated to run at 14-14-14-34 at 1.35V, which G.Skill is awfully proud of.
"Not only does this massive memory kit manage to max out on supported capacity at high speeds, its latency is also improved to CL14-14-14-34, which is also more efficient than the standard DDR4-2133MHz latency of CL15-15-15-35. At this point, there’s nowhere else to go but faster," G.Skill says.
If this is the kit youve been waiting for, hang tight just a little bit longer—it will be available by the end of February.
