G.SKILLRipjaws V Series (XMP) DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MT/s CL16-18-18-38 1.35V Intel AMD Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM - Black (F4-3200C16D-16GVKB)

needed to up grade my 16GB of ram to 32GB, wanted to stick with crucial ballistix so I could just add to my existing ram, but found out that it is no longer made, so after doing some research I found that these g.skill ripjaw V's are so close to the ballistix's that I decided to go with them, all the CL numbers are the same except for the last one and it is only off by two.so instead of adding to my existing ram i just decided to go with two sticks of these duel rank 16GB's for 32 GB, they look nice and was very easy to install, put them in reset the XMP in my bios and i was up and running, have been in for about 2 weeks and no problems. so if you are looking to replace crucial ballistix's these are a great replacement.

I got this set of RAM at 3,200 MT/s for 3D modeling for highly detailed scenes and textures to help my 3080 12 GB when using Blender 4.4.3 since it uses GPU fallback when it doesn't have enough VRAM from my GPU, which happens a lot for me and Daz Studio 4.23.It's very overkill for gaming alone, but nowadays AAA games (unless it's a poorly optimized Unreal Engine 5 game) might need 16 GB for minimum spec and 32 GB for recommended. Maybe in the future, 64 GB or more might become the norm.I also use virtual machines when I need to for testing software, operating systems, or work-related stuff protected from my current Windows 11 Pro install.It works wonderfully and stably on XMP 3,200 MT/s with no problems. I would buy this kind of set again from G.Skill for DDR5 if I were looking for a newer Ryzen CPU in the future, as I'm currently using a Ryzen 9 5950X on AM4.

As advertised Reliability:Succeeded where Corsair Vengeance 128GB kit failed. GSkill passed all diagnostics and validation. No indication of data corruption.Why did you pick this product vs others?:Having used GSkill in the past I returned to it as a reliable choice when another vendor failed testing.Compatibility:Works and just like GSkill showed it is fully compatible with my Asus tuf x570 and AMD 5800x3D.

This was my first g skill RAM kit, and it's been pretty stable. I even had them store for over a year because I couldn't finish my build. I was worried they might failed after so long but they are still going strong to this day

Came quick as needed. Needed to jump from 3200mhz to 4000mhz at least and made sure to update bios and check how it ran. GSKILL is Reliable RAM in general for sure.

RAM doing it's job.

Good kit. On a z390 Aorus Pro with a i9 9900k I was able to overclock this kit (F4-3200C16D-64GVK) to 3600MT/s 17-20-20-44 at 1.40v. My kit was Hynix 16GBit CJR

Ordered this for ASUS desktop that came with 16GB (2x8GB) but I wanted to upgrade to 32GB (2x16GB). Had to order this twice - the first order had one stick that the BIOS couldn’t recognize; so when checking total RAM, only 16GB showed. Easy return process to local UPS store, and tried again with a 2nd order. This time the full RAM was recognized by BIOS and the total 32GB (2x16GB) are working now. Apparently, it is common for one of the sticks in a set to not work - check the RAM’s performance to ensure it is funtional, and try again if you want the extra RAM.
