Closer Look

The new model gets the same packaging treatment as its predecessors, being shipped in some transparent plastic casing.



Likewise, the appearance of the modules also remains unchanged. With modules lying on the table, the color scheme looks very attractive but with there being very few Haswell motherboards finished in blue-and-black, getting a perfect color match might be a bit of a struggle for the case modding crowd.



Ripjaws have never been G.Skill’s flagship lineup, which shows in the simple heatspreaders these have always had. Styled to resemble jaws of a predator, the top adds very little to the surface area and with each of the heatspreaders being just a sheet of pressed aluminium, the cooling efficiency is something Ripjaws can’t brag about.




With heatspreaders out of the way, we found the 2400C11 model to be based on a modification of Hynix 2Gbit memory chips commonly referred to as CFR. Based on our previous experience where we have seen a lot of variance between various modules equipped with CFR, the overclocking experience with these Ripjaws-X can go either way; good or bad.



SPD module on the Ripjaws-X provides some basic information on the maker and the module of the memory. It also features six JEDEC profiles stretching up to DDR3-1600 and an XMP-2400, all of which are designed to make things work without any additional timing or subtiming input required from the user.
