G.Skill 16 GB 5600 MHz RAM

The G.Skill 16 GB 5600 MHz RAM here comes as two single DDR5 modules at 1.20V. The Ripjaws S5 runs CL40-40-40-89 with an Intel XMP profile. The silver Aegis 5 F5-5600J3636C16GX1-IS runs CL36-36-36-89 with both Intel XMP and AMD EXPO profiles. Neither has RGB, and G.Skill covers both with a 10 year warranty.

The Aegis 5 has the tighter timings, and its EXPO profile suits AMD AM5 builds. The Ripjaws S5 is aimed at Intel boards. Each is a single 16 GB stick, so buy two of the same model for 32 GB in dual channel.

Frequently asked questions

Will this RAM work in a DDR4 motherboard? No. DDR5 modules fit only DDR5 slots, on Intel or AMD AM5 boards built for DDR5.

Is one 16 GB stick enough? It works, but in single channel. Two matching sticks give dual channel bandwidth for gaming and multitasking.
