the g.skill ripjaws ddr4 this is 2 8 gigabyte Stix ddr4 - 3208 G by 2 so 16 gigs of ram right here really excited for these here's how it comes packaged to you nothing special but it's gonna be pretty sweet to have these in the computer I am building so now we'll go ahead and see if we can just kind of open this up gently and take a quick peek yeah this comes packaged to you you already saw that now here's the sticks themselves see if you can gently take one out maybe look at it here they are looks really cool good way to it I just like just like how it looks I mean it's just
sharp looking sticker Ram so g.skill branded on it there's all your pins and connectors below where'd you saw that I believe through the packaging but maybe you can see it up close I don't know if it'll focus on it or you'll be able to read it but yeah this is really sweet I will go ahead there's a little skill or a little sticker you can put reppin the brand if you'd like so I'm gonna go
ahead and post a link to this in my review description below so you can check these out online see if it's the ddr4 for you and wherever you may need so should be really happy with these look pretty sweet simple packaging .
a rather special D skill with memory kit thirty-two hundred megahertz 16 gigabyte kit quad-channel ddr4 just ultimate EP n-- as far as memory is concerned at the moment but because it's ultimate EP also comes with a rather ultimate price as well I've just had a look and they're on pre-order at overclockers so they better be good and they so what we're going to do is we're going to move on have a look in the box have a look at the RAM fans that come with
them I would talk about the performance and then get everything wrapped up in the end and a nice meaty conclusion as we normally would do but yeah remote move so quick look at the packaging because we don't want to spend too much time messing around it's a really beefy g.skill box and when I say really beefy I mean it took an absolute mission to get into this thing but it's really heavy-duty cardboard I mean it's not like a cheap blister pack or anything and
you get two separate boxes inside because it's essentially two stool kits they use in the packaging that they would have used for the ddr3 stuff basically so I'll bin all that out the way and then we'll move what was inside back in Dada so we've got the actual memory sticks themselves hey there we go right so that's the actual stick itself Ripjaws I know it's the ddr4 one but it all looks the same as far as I'm aware these ones are only available in black as well they are obviously
3200 megahertz 1616 cast irons we've got 16 16 16 36 1.3 5 volts XMP - ready pc 425 600 all the normal stuff that you expect you've obviously got four of them but we do also get the coolers which I will talk about quite a bit with these but the main points are we've got the two fans on the tops these little rings you could unscrew and customize if you wanted to fill it in the fans LEDs are white which I'll show you in a minute if you have a look there the cables come
straight out the center now bear in mind this is going to be on your motherboard you'd think that they would have had the cable up one of the ends to aid cable routing and I think this is a bit lazy really I think they should have done considering it's such a premium product also I think that the cable could have been a bit longer because you get it on there up around the top of your motherboard it's almost like they want it to be all hanging out the front of your case
and all be able where as where because we're all grown-ups we're all going to want to have it all you know really nicely cable routed and you know all messed around so it's all nice and tight and we essentially we don't want to see the cable so having that stuck out the middle which is either going to go over your CPU block or it's just going to be out dangling near the the like your rear fan your exhaust on the back of the case or whatever just it's not what I was kind of
expecting really I would have thought that you know they would have tried a bit harder with it one of the good points is it well take good points different points is you can angle these so you can essentially have it blowing in towards your CPU or away you know you can do whatever you want but it also then does mean that there is a lot of movement on these which I will show you in a sec so we've got them all fitted this is on a rampage vibe there's obviously I need to the
ddr4 and you will see that we've moved the graphics card down a bit I will give you a slightly better angle for that in a minute but if we zoom you in you can't really see the cables too badly there but there they are there and literally I've just touched that cable and you can see how flimsy that is now is fitted as best as we can possibly get them unless you go right the way down to the very bottom of the motherboard but then you can still tip them really easily by the tux
and they don't grab very well at all one thing I would say is you know angling these it's not like you can see I've just moved the bottom it's kind of you you're going to be forever reseat in them so it's almost like you get them fitted and then hope to forget about them and you don't have to see it again the other Cable is there I'll turn you around use it I've came right on it down the back now many people might say oh no you gave away it was amazing that is not amazing
should be a lot tinier than that and I could make it so much tinier than that find like took them apart and like redid everything but considering how easy it would have been to have had the cables come out one end it's really I wouldn't particularly say that it's acceptable also from this angle you can see we've got some slight graphics card issues which might turn it round you can see a much better I'd you there you can see it's hanging over the graphics card port now what
I'm going to do is the g.skill do kind of have this fit because you can see that there's a bend on these this account they do send you some flat ends to go on them and that is for this situation because a lot of motherboards don't have the slot right up against the top of the motherboard some of them they miss a slot and it would have been in here and that would have been where the first slot would have started so then this wouldn't be a problem but I'm going to get these
fitted the little screw you see the little holes and they get screwed in up here so I'm going to swap these over and then I'll talk to you a little bit more about them once these are on so they are now on and fitted we've had to put one on each end because we've got quite a long graphics card and the other we needed the other one for the clearance because the graphics card is going to come right along but one thing it still looks quite close to that PCI Express slot to me so I've
not done this yet I'm actually going to do it with you on camera or rather I'm gonna bring you back in and I'll give you my thoughts when we're on camera and we'll see how close that is to the back of a graph it's card okay right so I do have this done so there is a minut gap in the between the two at the moment I can see me right in there is definitely a gap there you can see it but that's also something that would set off alarm bells with me so if you have a look how close
that is to the back of this is a 7/8 you tie it's not got a backplate but quite a lot of inexpensive electrical component tree there and these if i zoom you back out again so you can see what I'm doing I'm not writing the way these really aren't fitted all that well it doesn't grab hold of any of the actual RAM modules or anything like that and it's it's as soon as you this case is obviously laid down at the moment but as soon as you stand it up it does eventually find its way back down it's touching the PCB there now it's on there so it's one of those ones where this
would make me with an expensive graphics card incredibly incredibly nervous because you know and even just sat there it's gonna eventually work its way down I know we've got it's against itself because we have the H 100 in there at the moment but any walking in hose any a IO is going to you know possibly get in the way of this I'm I would not be happy fitting this the way it is at the moment I'm going to show you it lit up without the the graphics card here we'll leave it with this one in because they do look really really nice but it's just the classic one with
RAM fans I mean I'll talk to you later on about the performance but they've never really quite answered everything they normally bring more problems and they actually solve because RAM doesn't really get any hot anyway but hot anyways that's what I'm going to talk to you about it so we've covered this it does come with the extra slots but I mean this sides not too bad but this end really I would not be happy with this on the back of the graphics card there's not enough
purchase on the RAM slot doesn't fit snugly enough tables aren't very nice on them so the RAM fans as far as I'm concerned if you want to be brave than fair enough but I would be incredibly incredibly worried about the PCB on the back of your graphics card if your graphics card is in that very first slot like the rampage for the rampage 5 and this is my issue my other issue with them is because I should hate them but they do actually look really really nice when they're in
there and running like that we're running a corsair led fans but SP 120 is on the top we've got the AF 140 on the back these look really nice and there are actually quite a white LED as well whereas these are a little bit bluey they also light from the inside light and outwards where's the these fans are like from the outside lighting in so they do look really really nice it's just and the other thing is it's surprisingly considered our small they are they don't make a lot of noise
normally with these things they were and they harm and they're horrible these are probably the quietest Ram fans I've heard in a long time it's just a shame that you can't really use them because they don't fit very nicely cables are all of it whew you risk in your graphics card if your graphics cards right up close it's a real shame g.skill I think should give these some serious work I would not recommend fitting these in a rig at all personally it's like I said there's too
many things that that just aren't right with them you know I would if you're going to do it then you know that's completely up to you but if you're asking for my opinion which is why you're watching this video I would personally say avoid actually you know putting these in your rig we'll talk more about the memory but obviously a big part of the memory kit was these RAM fans they do come with it and they do look the gonads so I felt that it deserved the time to cover them a bit more but now we're going to go back into I'm going to take all this out I'm going to
get back to testing the memory and talking to you about the memory itself so we've got the memory in the rig now rampage five extreme 780ti matrix reason why at 780 tires because that's what we used in the the tests previously obviously since then the 980 has come out there isn't a lot of difference that we've kept it the same for this one obviously we've got the six thinking about over g.skill in there and it's just in our normal motherboard test rig so this is the CPUs it and the first thing I'd like to draw your attention to is the bus speed because quite
strange with this the XMP sets it at a hundred bus with the other stuff that we've done before it's been above that because I've not done anything below twenty eight hundred megahertz twenty eight hundred megahertz has a 127 base clock three thousand megahertz has a 125 base clock the tie-in for the one thousand three time for the 3200 it's actually a hundred which I was actually of the impression that anything including in above 2666 was always going to be a higher B CLK time so this is all news to me but anyway this is also going to affect our graphs
because when we do test memory there are very little tests that we do that just tests the actual memory side of things very few of them at all so if we've got ones that test a little bit of the CPU and the effects that the memory speed has on the CPU if the base clock is different then the graphs are going to be different as well because the the benchmark will respond differently it's almost like if you wondered on dead 97 your 20 400 megahertz memory you can have the same overclock for that throughout with this where it's all different base clocks and different times
and all that type of thing it makes things a little bit more difficult and as you will see with the either graph you've actually got there as what you would expect you've got everything in order top is the fastest then the next one down so we've got the g.skill ripjaws for 3,200 megahertz at the top and then you've got the two Dominator Platinum's beneath so we got and it's as like I said it's as you would expect it 3,200 3028 100 megahertz but when you look at the x264 -
completely the opposite way around because you have the the base clock the highest one the one twenty seven point two one twenty seven point five I think it is is at the top which is twenty eight hundred megahertz then you've got 125 base clock in the middle and then the hundred base clock at the bottom so you can see in that benchmark at least it's completely reverse and a little bit more CPU dependent so people are going to be asking how much with difference it
makes with gaming so we've got this graph here they're all 2560 by 1440 they're all maxed out and we've arranged the graph by tomb raider but that's the gray one we've got two raider sleeping dogs and hitman and pretty much everything in this graph responds better to the quicker memory apart from hitman absolution that's the only one where there was a slight dip and you can see at the top there that it was seventy five point nine so we can kind of say just on this graph that we could assume that hitman does use the CPU a little bit more but it's still
quite interesting to see with even with the other two that there has been a significant increase going from 2800 megahertz up to 3200 megahertz even without the CPU taken into account by then my little beauties it's time for the conclusion award first and then we'll chitchat about it as we go through as we always do and we've decided to give it the OSI 3d Performance Award now it's twofold with the 3200 megahertz and I was really impressed with because that is going to make ax it is a big speed and normally when you're talking about really high in memory
sometimes you have to mess around and my5 960 X went straight in XMP didn't have to mess around with it so that's how we've tested it we've done it like that so twofold it is going to be a lot of money is expensive price is very dependent on where you are but ddr4 is not cheap anyway so the more you start pushing those eat up the more the money is going to increase it's probably why they include those fans is try and make it seem like a better deal so if you want
the absolute balls out utmost performance then obviously you're going to be thinking around sort of like three thousand megahertz three thousand two hundred megahertz anyway one thing I would say is don't necessarily need the UM CPU at stock because if you leave your CPU at stock and then you just enable XMP really not going to get the best from these to the point that with a lot of the applications and if you go and click on the link let's go to the overclock 3d
website and have a look at all the graphs there you'll see what I mean that the constant at base clock somebody one in twenty eight hundred megahertz can actually have a faster rig than you do because of that base clock tie-in so what I would say is if you are going to be having these and you're obviously going to have a good C for you going to probably be running a really good motherboard as well because the amount of money you're spending on your memory you're probably going to be spending it in other places as well I would say to everyone if you're
considering buying this you need to get there and overclock you see for you as well so get there get your C for you tied in and then you know play with your multipliers that you know go about it however you feel comfortable but a multiplier increases it's really really simple with these CPUs with decent volts you should be looking at at least four point four gigahertz and I would say that if you do that it's thirty-two hundred megahertz tied in you'll be absolutely
laughing and it's definitely not this memory time that I wouldn't say it's particularly I just kind of fit XMP and forget about it you're not really going to be getting the best from it moving on to the fans I don't like them I like the way they look but that's as far as it goes the actual implementation of it the fact that you've got those straight brackets so that you can fit them really close to your graphics card it appears to be a great idea until you realize that they don't
fit properly and can slip down onto your graphics card could easily eventually cause a short it doesn't really take much for them to work their way down and touch the back of your graphics card I'd you know if you had to do it I'd end up with like insulating tape on the back of them in case they had slipped or something it would just make me really nervous and I'd be constantly worried about it also when it comes to the wiring on them they just it's the it's lazy you can see that whoever designed them doesn't actually really deal with high-end computers that much
they've just designed you know some that you know aesthetically looking they look really really nice but it's the actual implementation of like the cables and stuff on the side it's just pretty poor really and it just they obviously don't understand how anal we can be about what enough cables hidden and not be able to see anything it was just it doesn't sit with me at all so there's that there's also I do have a infrared thermometer so when it came to the memory fans I
thought to myself what I'm going to do is I'm going to set up mmm test and leave it running overnight to see without the fans to see how worn the memory sticks get now I hope they got 38 degrees that was it that was the most I managed to get these up too so the actual cooling element of those RAM fans is completely redundant as well you don't need them to cool your memory and it's one of the things I've always been saying people water cooling their memory and you know setting up all these fans it's actually not needed it's only ever done for aesthetics
and although these do look or did look earlier because I've taken them off now although they did look the gonads there's the safety inflammation the safety side of it with them they've been able to sleep and the cabling and all that type of stuff just makes it like no don't bother so sadly they've got probably some of the best looking memory coolers I've ever seen but that's as far as it goes it's still not won me over enough to say you know going use and so if you do buy the
memory kits do yourselves a favor and put them on eBay and let some new biome to Rekha's graphics card with or something because I really wouldn't you know suggest it for any of you guys I I know I'm very old school and I know I'm very kind of anal about the way stuff goes and stuff but if they if they fit properly and those caves have been different I probably would have taken a completely different route with this and shocked you all but it just you know you can't get past the fact that they just you know then it's a bit like a supermodel they look
brilliant but alright I'm going to annoy a lot of people with that but the stereotypical supermodel well put it that way we'll put it in bunny is it's not a blanket a stereotypical supermodel that it's pretty to look at the sooner she opens her mouth is just nothing going on between our roles and there's pretty much the same with these they look nice but they just yeah Stu pointless so anyway memory epic performance award memory cooler crap put it in the bin sell it to some Muppet on eBay for bloody you know whatever you can muck them for for it is
definitely going to be the best thing that you've ever done is getting rid of them the only thing I will say though and it says actually says on the box that if you are amazing memory you've got to send the memory fan back so remember that it might be one of those are just gonna have to chuck them in a flippin cupboard somewhere or something like that but anyway so memory epic absolutely I haven't got a bad thing to say about the memory itself that's all I need to kind
of worry about really performance award it's for those of you out there that literally just strive for the absolute best but just make sure you overclock your cpu to back it all up if you do you'll be more than happy but for now at least this is Connie Tom Logan with a G skill thirty-two hundred megahertz did er for memory kit with another review for you out B I really need to get used to sitting that side of the camera and forgetting I can't do that and it chops me and off Oh first world problems you

there and running like that we're running a corsair led fans but SP 120 is on the top we've got the AF 140 on the back these look really nice and there are actually quite a white LED as well whereas these are a little bit bluey they also light from the inside light and outwards where's the these fans are like from the outside lighting in so they do look really really nice it's just and the other thing is it's surprisingly considered our small they are they don't make a lot of noise
normally with these things they were and they harm and they're horrible these are probably the quietest Ram fans I've heard in a long time it's just a shame that you can't really use them because they don't fit very nicely cables are all of it whew you risk in your graphics card if your graphics cards right up close it's a real shame g.skill I think should give these some serious work I would not recommend fitting these in a rig at all personally it's like I said there's too
many things that that just aren't right with them you know I would if you're going to do it then you know that's completely up to you but if you're asking for my opinion which is why you're watching this video I would personally say avoid actually you know putting these in your rig we'll talk more about the memory but obviously a big part of the memory kit was these RAM fans they do come with it and they do look the gonads so I felt that it deserved the time to cover them a bit more but now we're going to go back into I'm going to take all this out I'm going to
get back to testing the memory and talking to you about the memory itself so we've got the memory in the rig now rampage five extreme 780ti matrix reason why at 780 tires because that's what we used in the the tests previously obviously since then the 980 has come out there isn't a lot of difference that we've kept it the same for this one obviously we've got the six thinking about over g.skill in there and it's just in our normal motherboard test rig so this is the CPUs it and the first thing I'd like to draw your attention to is the bus speed because quite
strange with this the XMP sets it at a hundred bus with the other stuff that we've done before it's been above that because I've not done anything below twenty eight hundred megahertz twenty eight hundred megahertz has a 127 base clock three thousand megahertz has a 125 base clock the tie-in for the one thousand three time for the 3200 it's actually a hundred which I was actually of the impression that anything including in above 2666 was always going to be a higher B CLK time so this is all news to me but anyway this is also going to affect our graphs
because when we do test memory there are very little tests that we do that just tests the actual memory side of things very few of them at all so if we've got ones that test a little bit of the CPU and the effects that the memory speed has on the CPU if the base clock is different then the graphs are going to be different as well because the the benchmark will respond differently it's almost like if you wondered on dead 97 your 20 400 megahertz memory you can have the same overclock for that throughout with this where it's all different base clocks and different times
and all that type of thing it makes things a little bit more difficult and as you will see with the either graph you've actually got there as what you would expect you've got everything in order top is the fastest then the next one down so we've got the g.skill ripjaws for 3,200 megahertz at the top and then you've got the two Dominator Platinum's beneath so we got and it's as like I said it's as you would expect it 3,200 3028 100 megahertz but when you look at the x264 -
completely the opposite way around because you have the the base clock the highest one the one twenty seven point two one twenty seven point five I think it is is at the top which is twenty eight hundred megahertz then you've got 125 base clock in the middle and then the hundred base clock at the bottom so you can see in that benchmark at least it's completely reverse and a little bit more CPU dependent so people are going to be asking how much with difference it
makes with gaming so we've got this graph here they're all 2560 by 1440 they're all maxed out and we've arranged the graph by tomb raider but that's the gray one we've got two raider sleeping dogs and hitman and pretty much everything in this graph responds better to the quicker memory apart from hitman absolution that's the only one where there was a slight dip and you can see at the top there that it was seventy five point nine so we can kind of say just on this graph that we could assume that hitman does use the CPU a little bit more but it's still
quite interesting to see with even with the other two that there has been a significant increase going from 2800 megahertz up to 3200 megahertz even without the CPU taken into account by then my little beauties it's time for the conclusion award first and then we'll chitchat about it as we go through as we always do and we've decided to give it the OSI 3d Performance Award now it's twofold with the 3200 megahertz and I was really impressed with because that is going to make ax it is a big speed and normally when you're talking about really high in memory
sometimes you have to mess around and my5 960 X went straight in XMP didn't have to mess around with it so that's how we've tested it we've done it like that so twofold it is going to be a lot of money is expensive price is very dependent on where you are but ddr4 is not cheap anyway so the more you start pushing those eat up the more the money is going to increase it's probably why they include those fans is try and make it seem like a better deal so if you want
the absolute balls out utmost performance then obviously you're going to be thinking around sort of like three thousand megahertz three thousand two hundred megahertz anyway one thing I would say is don't necessarily need the UM CPU at stock because if you leave your CPU at stock and then you just enable XMP really not going to get the best from these to the point that with a lot of the applications and if you go and click on the link let's go to the overclock 3d
website and have a look at all the graphs there you'll see what I mean that the constant at base clock somebody one in twenty eight hundred megahertz can actually have a faster rig than you do because of that base clock tie-in so what I would say is if you are going to be having these and you're obviously going to have a good C for you going to probably be running a really good motherboard as well because the amount of money you're spending on your memory you're probably going to be spending it in other places as well I would say to everyone if you're
considering buying this you need to get there and overclock you see for you as well so get there get your C for you tied in and then you know play with your multipliers that you know go about it however you feel comfortable but a multiplier increases it's really really simple with these CPUs with decent volts you should be looking at at least four point four gigahertz and I would say that if you do that it's thirty-two hundred megahertz tied in you'll be absolutely
laughing and it's definitely not this memory time that I wouldn't say it's particularly I just kind of fit XMP and forget about it you're not really going to be getting the best from it moving on to the fans I don't like them I like the way they look but that's as far as it goes the actual implementation of it the fact that you've got those straight brackets so that you can fit them really close to your graphics card it appears to be a great idea until you realize that they don't
fit properly and can slip down onto your graphics card could easily eventually cause a short it doesn't really take much for them to work their way down and touch the back of your graphics card I'd you know if you had to do it I'd end up with like insulating tape on the back of them in case they had slipped or something it would just make me really nervous and I'd be constantly worried about it also when it comes to the wiring on them they just it's the it's lazy you can see that whoever designed them doesn't actually really deal with high-end computers that much
they've just designed you know some that you know aesthetically looking they look really really nice but it's the actual implementation of like the cables and stuff on the side it's just pretty poor really and it just they obviously don't understand how anal we can be about what enough cables hidden and not be able to see anything it was just it doesn't sit with me at all so there's that there's also I do have a infrared thermometer so when it came to the memory fans I
thought to myself what I'm going to do is I'm going to set up mmm test and leave it running overnight to see without the fans to see how worn the memory sticks get now I hope they got 38 degrees that was it that was the most I managed to get these up too so the actual cooling element of those RAM fans is completely redundant as well you don't need them to cool your memory and it's one of the things I've always been saying people water cooling their memory and you know setting up all these fans it's actually not needed it's only ever done for aesthetics
and although these do look or did look earlier because I've taken them off now although they did look the gonads there's the safety inflammation the safety side of it with them they've been able to sleep and the cabling and all that type of stuff just makes it like no don't bother so sadly they've got probably some of the best looking memory coolers I've ever seen but that's as far as it goes it's still not won me over enough to say you know going use and so if you do buy the
memory kits do yourselves a favor and put them on eBay and let some new biome to Rekha's graphics card with or something because I really wouldn't you know suggest it for any of you guys I I know I'm very old school and I know I'm very kind of anal about the way stuff goes and stuff but if they if they fit properly and those caves have been different I probably would have taken a completely different route with this and shocked you all but it just you know you can't get past the fact that they just you know then it's a bit like a supermodel they look
brilliant but alright I'm going to annoy a lot of people with that but the stereotypical supermodel well put it that way we'll put it in bunny is it's not a blanket a stereotypical supermodel that it's pretty to look at the sooner she opens her mouth is just nothing going on between our roles and there's pretty much the same with these they look nice but they just yeah Stu pointless so anyway memory epic performance award memory cooler crap put it in the bin sell it to some Muppet on eBay for bloody you know whatever you can muck them for for it is
definitely going to be the best thing that you've ever done is getting rid of them the only thing I will say though and it says actually says on the box that if you are amazing memory you've got to send the memory fan back so remember that it might be one of those are just gonna have to chuck them in a flippin cupboard somewhere or something like that but anyway so memory epic absolutely I haven't got a bad thing to say about the memory itself that's all I need to kind
of worry about really performance award it's for those of you out there that literally just strive for the absolute best but just make sure you overclock your cpu to back it all up if you do you'll be more than happy but for now at least this is Connie Tom Logan with a G skill thirty-two hundred megahertz did er for memory kit with another review for you out B I really need to get used to sitting that side of the camera and forgetting I can't do that and it chops me and off Oh first world problems you
