The G.Skill Ripjaws V memory module is an 8GB DDR4 desktop stick designed for builders who want higher clocked memory in a low profile package without RGB lighting or a bulky heat spreader. The module uses a two-tone aluminum heat spreader in a low-profile design that clears large air coolers and close-fit cases where a taller RGB module would not fit, making it a practical choice for compact builds and small form factor desktops alike. Its most distinctive feature is the rated 3600MHz data rate at CL18 timings, running on Intel XMP 2.0 profiles so a compatible motherboard can apply the certified speed and timings automatically rather than requiring manual voltage and timing adjustments in firmware. A second standout spec is the modules 288-pin UDIMM form factor built around a black printed circuit board, which keeps the stick compatible with the vast majority of current desktop motherboards that accept standard unbuffered DDR4 memory across Intel and AMD platforms alike. The heat spreader is engineered to pull thermal load away from the memory chips during sustained workloads such as gaming, video editing, and multitasking across several applications at once, helping the module hold its rated frequency without throttling under extended use. Because it ships as a single 8GB stick, it works as a straightforward single-module upgrade for a desktop that only needs added capacity, and it can also be paired later with a second matching module to run in dual channel for higher aggregate memory bandwidth.

Key Features:

• Low Profile Heat Spreader: A two tone aluminum spreader keeps the module short enough to clear large air coolers and tight small form factor desktop cases.
• High Speed Data Rate: The module runs at 3600MHz with CL18 timings under Intel XMP 2.0 for a certified speed applied automatically by the motherboard.
• Standard Desktop Form Factor: The 288 pin UDIMM design on a black circuit board fits current Intel and AMD desktop motherboards with open DDR4 memory slots.
• Sustained Thermal Control: The heat spreader pulls thermal load away from the memory chips, helping the module hold its rated frequency under extended use.
• Single Module Capacity: Shipping as one 8GB stick, it adds usable memory on its own or pairs later with a matching module for dual channel memory operation.
