G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit (2 x 16GB) - 288-Pin SDRAM, PC4-28800 DDR4 3600, CL16-19-19-39, 1.35V

Kevvy: Useful item at a good price. Great quality and delivers what it promises.

Andrew Ascone: I bought this to replace my older G Skill 2x4GB RAM sticks, as I wanted a bit more overhead for my PC's memory. Popped out the old pair, put these in and I'm sitting pretty with a lot more RAM at my disposal. I don't like to mess about with stuff like XMP profiles or trying to overclock, and I think these are still performing exactly as I need them to. Good speed and more memory space.

To note: If your setup has some concern with the spacing for your air coolers, these are a just a bit tall, so it's something to keep in mind if physical space is limited for your build. That said, if you were already using a different set of G Skill sticks, these should be pretty close in size, if not almost the same.

Jhj: Worked flawlessly out of the packaging, nice and easy!

AnonymousAnonymous: Since this is my 2nd order for g-skill memory (same model, the first one shows error after 6 years), this one only 3 months, i switched to kingstone brand now to test out which is also cheaper.

UPDATE: G-Skill accepted the RMA. Also this could be due to overclocking from default of 2400 MHz to 2666 MHz. I am ok with the warranty accepted.

VV: This review is specifically for RAM sold by RACERSPEED INC.

I'll start with the good part:
It's the same RAM as what's being sold by Amazon.com in a different listing (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z86BMCQ), but at a fraction of a cost.
I had both in my possession and was able to test both, so I don't see any reason why anyone would be paying double for the other listing. Also, this RAM performed waaaaaaaaaay better!
The other one could barely start with timings in XMP profile, and even then required voltage to be raised way up, while this one started great as-is and overclocked far beyond its XMP profile. I was able to set many timings much lower, e.g. CAS latency set to 13, not without some higher voltage though, but that's not surprising.
I might've won silicon lottery here, so take the above with a large grain of salt.

Now to the bad:
The heatsink is a joke. It barely touches the chips, and where it does, it's only a small area (see attached photo) and it's a consistent picture every time (I ordered 2 sets, 4 sticks total, 8 heatsinks), so you'd be better off removing stock heatsinks and using some aftermarket ones.

But overall, great RAM,...

The Sneaky Mongoose: It took many years for an affordable 2x16 3600mhz CL16 kit to arrive, so I jumped on this when it fell under 200AUD. Resetting my BIOS/CMOS battery was required for my x570 board to boot on these. Afterwards, the XMP was auto set and the timings were all correct. Computer performs noticeably better (5800X is noted for liking fast ram and 3600 is the sweet spot so this makes sense).

JOSHUA: I literally think the V designation is for the "value" line of memory that G.Skill offers and they deliver on that promise. Over the last few years more and more of the memory slots in my house are finding themselves with G.Skill Ripjaws V in them as I rotate out smaller capacity sticks. The fact that this product in particular is CL16 -- an important factor for performance -- compared to most of the other value oriented products on offer is a huge bonus, too.

There may be cheaper ways to stick a reasonable 32G of DDR4 into a machine but none of the products at a cheaper price point offer the same tier of performance. Like most people I shop components around "bang for the buck" and this landed squarely in that sweet spot.

The XMP profile worked perfectly on the first try with no tuning at all. Plop the sticks in, set XMP mode, and you're good to go on the first boot. Rock solid on MEMTEST86+.

This particular purchase was stuck into a machine that I pretty much only play games on and for gaming this is an excellent choice. At CL16 and an upper-mid tier throughput I'm nowhere near bottlenecked by memory performance -- faster RAM wouldn't make anything actually...

The Amazonian: This RAM is about as fast as you can get at this price level with excellent stablity and performance. Mine are running at genuine 3600MHz and the default 1.350v using XMP profile #1. Genuine dual rank, dual channel operation with relatively low CL timings as advertised: 16-19-19-39. Recorded fastest memory latency in AIDA64 by more than 5ns over previous fastest listing! Cannot be faulted so far after a month or so of use.

However, please note, they most likely will not run at the speciifed maximum speed if you were to combine 2 sets of 2 matched 16Gb modules = 64Gb (from the same supplier with same product codes and near-same production dates) which is the max amount of RAM allowed for my motherboard. They run slower and not always stable with XMP settings. Bad copies or a memory access stepping issue as total memory maxxed with both channels filled??

Daniel Flores: Funciona perfecto con mi Ryzen 5800x en mi b350 con el perfil xmp habilitado, pero lo más importante, es que es dual rank, no estoy cien porciento seguro de que todos los lotes de este modelo sean dual rank, no lo había comprado por eso, así que resultó ser un bonus. Mi kit viene con chips hynix CJR por si alguien está interesado.

YoshiYoshi: Bought these to go with my MSI Z490 Tomahawk + Intel I9 10850k for my new PC build. RAM speed started at 2133MHz, but after changing the settings in BIOs to use the correct XMP profile it is now running at its advertised speed of 3600MHz. There was more RAM clearance than I thought since I was initially considering NH-D15 + Corsair LPX but swapped to Dark Rock Pro 4 + G.Skill V instead. Didn't need to adjust the cooler fan at all.

One thing that bothered me after receiving it was that the packaging for the RAM was not sealed with tape or adhesives which made me worried whether or not it was genuine. Not sure if it that is how its supposed to be packaged, but since installing I have not seen anything off to suggest that it is not genuine.
