G.Skill Expands RipjawsZ Family with Fifteen DDR3 Quad Channel Kits

[btarunr]

G.SKILL International Co. Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and superior solid-state storage, has added 15 DDR3 quad channel memory kits to its award winning RipjawsZ family optimized for new Intel Core i7 processor family for socket LGA-2011 and X79 motherboards. Optimized for the new Intel Ivy Bridge-E Core i7 processors, RipjawsZ series pushes quad channel DDR3 memory to the bleeding edge with rated speed of up to 2933MHz 16GB(4x4GB) and 2666MHz 64GB (8x8GB). G.SKILL RipjawsZ boldly goes where no memory has gone before.



Stable Extreme Speeds of 3000MHz 16GB (4x4GB)
New processors mean new limits. G.SKILL testing lab raised DDR3 memory speed up to 3000MHz with stability - on air cooling! Below is 3000MHz 16GB proof of concept, on the Intel i7-4960X CPU and ASUS Rampage IV Extreme motherboard.

All G.SKILL memory products come with a lifetime warranty and the G.SKILL technical team is always ready to provide consumers with complete technical support via online forums, telephone and email.

Duping the gullible with meritless claims of "...optimized for new Intel Core i7 processor...". This is just baloney for the naive who will pay a premium for empty promises.

While G.Skill in my experience sells good DDR3 RAM, it's no better or worse than Mushkin's, Corsair's, Crucial's, etc. Higher than 1600 MHz. DDR3 RAM certainly doesn't provide any tangible system performance gains except for APU powered systems where the GPU can use the added bandwidth.

This is madness, have they thought about sellers tracking the SKUs?

Looks nice, I was waiting for IB-E for higher speed quad channel kits. Right now I'm running 4x4GB DDR3-2666 with my 4930K, will see if I can push higher (using a Dominator Platinum 2800C11 kit).

2933? I had imagined the IMC on Ivy-E would be better than regular Ivy but hadn't seen any reviewers bother to check, nice to have the confirmation. Should make for some crazy benchmark numbers.

Why do all the G.Skill kits run at 2T?

Kind of takes away from the milestone if you ask me.

For the speeds, those timings are horrendous...

For the speeds, those timings are horrendous...

I agree with you on the 2133C10 and 2400C11 stuff, but not 2666C11 and 2933C12.

Looks like some of these kits are starting to show up for sale:

G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DD...
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DD...

For the life of me, I can't figure out why a 4x4GB DDR3-2133 kit is so expensive. Also it would seem that the kits based on 4GB sticks are single-sided using eight 4Gbit ICs rather than double-sided using 16 2Gbit ICs.
