Since the launch of DDR4 RAM, memory manufacturers around the world are busy in producing the modules that can reach the highest speed possible and coming up with new speed records by breaking the current highest limits. G.Skill is able to break the records and produced world’s fastest DDR4 RAM with clock rates of up to 3333MHz in 4GB memory modules that comes under Ripjaws PC4 series.
Speed and Price Range of G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 Memory Kits
Since the launch of PC4 memory G.Skill is extremely busy in producing wide range of memory kits under Ripjaws 4 series, currently the number is nine and might see more addition in coming future. The purpose of producing multiple PC 4 RAM kits is to target consumers with custom power needs and budgets. The base speed of 2133MHz will attract individuals seeking to build a ddr4 based computer but low on budget, the price tag of $240 will help them justify a full system upgrade in low costs. Now if we move all the way to top where you need very fast RAM (the world’s fastest!) in 4th generation PC machine for heavy resource demanding programs with heavy graphics and audio processing such as scientific computations and realtime multiplayer PC gaming. Ripjaws top level 3333Mhz memory kit will definitely deliver the world’s highest clock speeds where no other memory comes close but it comes with a high price tag of $700 making it really difficult for average gamer to get’s their hands on this monster. However the lineup does have a comfort zone for most gamers, this zone starts from 2666MHz to 3000MHz with price range of $280-$390 making it feasible for building high end game machines within a confined budget. Many will argue that these are overly priced PC4 RAM for those I would say welcome to DDR4 era, this is just the beginning of long waited computer technology (has been 7 years since PC3 was launched). Prices always stay high with the introduction of new technology, better wait some months until more competitors step in which will result by drop in prices over time.

G.Skill Ripjaws PC4 RAM Compatibity With X99 Motherboards
Intel latest Haswell-e architecture is currently the only available option in market that supports DDR4 RAM sticks. This Intel architecture is available in X99 motherboards that are fully compatible with PC4 Memory modules though G.Skill is one of the producers of PC4 memory modules. Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and many other companies has already introduced X99 motherboards in the market, so technology is ready to deliver the performance you always dreamed for your computing needs.
World’s Fastest PC Memory Updates: Now Stands at 4004 MHz
According to G.skill’s recent press release (August, 2014) on DDR4 PC memory: G.Skill managed to break it’s own world fastest computer memory record which was previously set at 3333 MHz. In order to cross this checkpoint they build a powerful PC in which Intel Core i7-5930K processor paired with Asus ROG X99 Rampage V extreme motherboard whereas as LN2 powerful liquid cooling was set in place to maintain favorable temperature of the machine. The end result was astonishing because they managed to achieve a 4000+ Mhz scroe (4004Mhz to be more accurate). This memory test was verified by CPU-Z approving the new legitimate speed score.
G.Skill’s Fastest Memory Record Now Stands at 4004MHz , DDR4 Speed Record Broken Again!
This has incited other memory manufacturers around the globe to increase their RAM speed. Corsair teamwork for DDR4 memory boost: now working in collaboration with ASUS to go after the world record and beat G.Skill in the memory speed war, though Corsair is the only competitor scoring quiet close to the previous speed mark.
