G.SKILL Announces New Ripjaws S5 Series Low-Profile Performance DDR5 Memory
G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is announcing the Ripjaws S5 series, an all-new low-profile, high-performance DDR5 memory kit designed for the latest DDR5-enabled platform. Each Ripjaws S5 is created with hand-screened high performance memory ICs that have undergone strict G.SKILL performance testing to provide the best performance, compatibility, and stability. Available in matte black or matte white, the design of Ripjaws S5 is an ideal match for any PC builds for gamers, enthusiasts, and modders who are looking for the perfect trinity of speed, capacity, and style.
Built upon decades of experience in developing high-performance memory, the G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 DDR5 memory series is engineered with high-quality hand-screened ICs, designed for high-speed performance, and tested for compatibility across a wide range of DDR5-enabled motherboards. At launch, Ripjaws S5 is available up to DDR5-6000 memory speed, making this the ideal choice for experiencing the high-performance of next-gen DDR5 memory.
Super-Speed in Style
The next-gen Ripjaws S5 series adopts a minimalist chromatic design inspired by classic racing stripes and grills, available in matte black or matte white to match a wide variety of PC build themes.
33 mm Low-Profile Design
Featuring a low-profile height of just 33 mm, the Ripjaws S5 memory is an ideal choice for compact Mini-ITX builds or systems with large CPU coolers.
Unlocking Higher Capacity with DDR5 Memory
DDR5 memory is designed to support increased module capacity, starting from 16 GB per module and up to 128 GB per module. This unlocks higher capacity limitations for a smoother workflow on demanding workloads, such as content creation, video editing, animation rendering, and scientific computing.
Availability & Specifications
These high-speed memory specifications will be available via G.SKILL worldwide distribution partners in November 2021.

I wish some manufacturer did decently specced VLP (height of just under 19mm) memory modules for consumer space.
I have a set of Ripjaws V that did not fit with heatsinks. After removing said heatsinks, only the two chips at both ends of the module actually touched the heatsink. If there was any excess heat, that heatsink was probably worse for most of the RAM chips that running without it.
Guess we'll have to reconsider what is good tested latency timings for ddr5 and disregard what is best on ddr4 :/
Or even this:
I have to say, those are the best-looking RAM modules I have seen in a long time. Well done G.Skill.That would be nice - people over on sff.network have a thread for hunting good VLP RAM on ebay and the like, but it's a bit of a crapshoot. There have been some specific lines with Samsung B-die, but none are actually binned and rated for high speeds (they tend to OC well though). It would be really nice if someone made a decent series of VLP RAM, as there are some coolers (looking at you, Alpenföhn Black Ridge) that really benefit from it.
I really like the looks of the ones with the white spreaders, but I would like them even moar if the pcb was white also.... but anyways, I will wait on reviews & test results, and hopefully better latencies & lower prices, before making the jump to any DDR5-based rigs....
This is IMO how all RAM should be - unlit so it draws no additional power from your CPU and the normal height that RAM without heatsinks is - like server RAM and OEM RAM.
Only better ones are the ddr5 trident-z5 :cool:

As for size, the VRMs are tiny, I expect we'll see VLP DDR5 in time - it's mainly down to whether there's a market for it. VLP RAM is generally rare as the use cases where it is needed are also rare. Which is a shame, as it's damn useful in some cases.
Not that I ever bothered checking.
I don't think there's a standard for low-profile but people will use LP DDR and LP-DDR, more often the manufacturer will add is as a suffix rather than a prefix, eg DDR4-3200 LP
If you see it all as a one word acronym, that's the unabiguous JEDEC acronym for low-power variant and anyone using that for low-profile is at fault, likely ignorant of the LPDDR standard.
