It is sometimes scary to realise how fast time actually flies. Case in point, G.Skill’s Ripjaws series has been around for almost four years, which might seem like an enternity by IT standards. Meant to contribute to this achievement, comes a fresh 8 GB 2400C11 model which we are going to have a look at today.
Actually, Ripjaws-X is not the only series that recently received a DDR3-2400 CL11 addition; Ares and Sniper did as well. Sticking with what we have, let us make our first stop at the specifications’ table.

Despite being rated for CL11, the Ripjaws-X is still a DDR3-2400 kit so the list of possible IC candidates is very short. Taking a quick look at the -2400- part of the serial number, this list narrows down to Hynix BFR, CFR and MFR with the latter getting dismissed after discovering that the modules are dual-sided.
