G.Skill Ripjaws X 16GB Kit Review

Up Close

The Ripjaws X comes in the standard plastic packaging that most memory arrives in. Two sticks on the front and two on the back.

      

The heatspreader is the same as we saw previously on a 2133MHz version. The deep metallic red is truly gorgeous, but what takes the breath away even more is the amount we have to play with.

      

It’s tough to properly photograph the lustrous nature of the colour. It’s a very high quality finish and the Ripjaws X sticker blends in nicely.

      

It’s surprising to think that a single stick is capable of giving us 4GB of memory capacity. It’s also worth noting that although there is a small raised portion in the Ripjaws X heatspreader, it still fits under even the largest CPU coolers. Always a plus point.
