FAQs

Does this memory support RGB lighting?

No, the Ripjaws S5 series features a minimalist, low-profile design without RGB lighting.

Can I use this with a DDR4 motherboard?

No, this is a DDR5 memory kit and is physically and electrically incompatible with DDR4 slots.

What is the height of these modules?

The Ripjaws S5 modules have a low-profile height of 33mm.

Is this memory compatible with AMD platforms?

While optimized for Intel, it may function on AMD DDR5 motherboards, though XMP 3.0 is an Intel technology; you may need to set speeds manually or use an equivalent profile if available in the BIOS.

Does this kit have On-Die ECC?

Yes, this kit includes On-Die ECC technology for improved data integrity.

What voltage does this memory operate at?

This kit operates at a standard 1.1V.

Troubleshooting

System fails to boot or BIOS reports memory errors

Ensure the modules are fully seated in the slots and consider testing one stick at a time to identify a potentially faulty module.

Memory is running at base speed (e.g., 4800MHz) instead of 5200MHz

You must enter your BIOS settings and enable the Intel XMP 3.0 profile to apply the rated speed configuration.

System instability under heavy load

Ensure the BIOS is updated to the latest version and verify that the motherboard memory support list includes your specific kit model.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous 64GB capacity for heavy professional workloads
  • Low-profile 33mm height ensures compatibility with large CPU coolers
  • Reliable, hand-screened ICs for consistent stability
  • Simple XMP 3.0 setup for reaching 5200MHz speeds
  • DDR5 platform offers future-proof performance

Cons

  • CAS latency of 40 is moderate rather than ultra-low
  • Requires a motherboard and CPU that support DDR5 specifically
  • Black finish lacks customizable RGB lighting for those seeking a flashy build

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install your Ripjaws S5 memory, ensure your motherboard is equipped with DDR5 DIMM slots and that your CPU supports DDR5 memory.

  1. Power down your system and disconnect the power supply.
  2. Insert the modules into the appropriate DIMM slots (check your motherboard manual for the correct channels, usually the 2nd and 4th slots from the CPU).
  3. Apply firm, even pressure until the locking tabs click into place.
  4. Boot your system and enter the BIOS (usually by pressing DEL or F2 during startup).
  5. Navigate to the Memory settings and enable 'XMP' or 'Extreme Memory Profile' to ensure the RAM runs at its rated 5200MHz speed.

For care, avoid touching the gold contacts on the bottom of the modules, as oils from skin can cause connectivity issues. Always use compressed air to keep dust from building up around the memory slots and the aluminum heatspreaders.
