First set of modules shown with distinctive heatspreader; will arrive supporting 4GB and 8GB DIMMs and speeds up to DDR4-3000.
Joining the likes of Crucial and Corsair this week are G.Skill, who have posted images of their newest memory DIMMs ahead of their release. These DDR4 modules show the aggressive aesthetics of the distinctive RipJaws heatspreader, and although shown here in red will also be available in blue or black.
RipJaws 4 DDR4 kits support quad-channel operation with four DIMMs, sizes limited to 16GB (4 x 4GB) and 32GB (4 x 8GB). Speeds range from 2133MHz to 3000MHz, with modules rated above 2400MHz shipping XMP 2.0 profiles. These 1.2V modules ship with CAS latency timings of 15-15-15-35 and are very slightly tighter in this regard than DIMMs from other manufacturers.
Overclockers UK currently have the DIMMs for pre-order starting at £239.99 for the 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR-2400MHz kit. It’s not clear if or in which direction prices will change on release, which is expected to coincide with the release of Intel’s Haswell-E (X99) platform.
