G.Skill Single Channel RAM

The G.Skill single channel RAM here is sold as single modules, one stick per pack. On DDR4 there are the Aegis F4-3200C16S-8GIS and Ripjaws V F4-3200C16S-16GVK, both 3200 MHz CL16 with Intel XMP. On DDR5 the range runs from the Ripjaws S5 16GB 5200 MHz CL40 through the 24GB and 48GB Ripjaws S5 sticks to 6000 MHz kits such as the Flare X5 32GB, the Trident Z5 RGB 32GB in black or white, and the Trident Z5 Neo RGB 16GB at CL30. G.Skill covers them with a 10 year warranty.

Start with your motherboard: DDR4 and DDR5 sticks are not interchangeable, so match the memory type the board supports. A single stick runs in single channel; for dual channel bandwidth, buy two identical sticks. For AMD DDR5 builds, the 6000 MHz Flare X5 and Trident Z5 Neo RGB carry AMD EXPO profiles, and CL30 on the Neo is the tightest timing listed. Intel builds can use the XMP Ripjaws S5 or Aegis 5 sticks. The Trident Z5 RGB and Neo RGB add lighting; the Ripjaws S5 uses a low-profile heatspreader that clears large air coolers. The DDR5 sticks and the 6000 MHz models also have their own pages.

Frequently asked questions

Can one stick of RAM run in dual channel? No. Dual channel needs two modules in the correct slots, so buy two of the same model, speed and capacity.

Which G.Skill stick suits an AMD Ryzen DDR5 build? The 6000 MHz Flare X5, Trident Z5 Neo RGB and the EXPO-rated Ripjaws S5 and Trident Z5 sticks load AMD EXPO profiles directly.

Will a DDR4 Aegis or Ripjaws V stick fit a DDR5 board? No. DDR4 and DDR5 use different slot notches and only fit boards made for that type.
