G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4-3200

A beginner-tier 16GB (2x8) DDR4-3200 kit and a solid value DDR4 option — the practical, lower-cost choice for mainstream DDR4 systems that don't need more capacity. Skip it for 32GB-plus workloads or any DDR5 platform; this is an end-of-generation kit for existing DDR4 builds.

Compatibility

Built around DDR4. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →

Upgrade path

Outgrow it and the Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4-3600 is the natural next step up in ram. See it →
