G.Skill Unveils 128GB DDR4-3200 RipJaws V Memory Kit

G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is truly excited to announce yet another breakthrough in high-performance, high-capacity DDR4 memory kit by taking a full 128GB (16GBx8), the maximum supported capacity on an X99 motherboard, to an searing speed of DDR4-3200MHz CL14-14-14-34 under 1.35V.

Not only does this massive memory kit manage to max out on supported capacity at high speeds, its latency is also improved to CL14-14-14-34, which is also more efficient than the standard DDR4-2133MHz latency of CL15-15-15-35. At this point, there's nowhere else to go but faster.
Equipped with XMP 2.0 profiles, this massive memory kit has an easy setup and installation. The following screenshot exhibits the DDR4-3200MHz 128GB (16GBx8) memory kit running comfortably on a MSI X99A GODLIKE Gaming motherboard with an Intel Core i7-5960X processor, even after 42 hours of testing.

The DDR4-3200MHz 128GB (16GBx8) kit is the latest addition to the G.SKILL Ripjaws V series, and will be available via G.SKILL authorized distribution partners by the end of February 2016, at a starting price tag of $1069.99 USD.

Fierce GuppyNo. Building a new PC is a rare and exciting event for me, so I splash out a bit. A DDR4-2400 kit will not be a performance bottleneck. At least not for the foreseeable future.
I'm glad it is, but that clarifies me absolutely nothing :p

Kurt Maverick...which brings me to another question: Broadwell-E will support up to DDR4-2400. Is there any point on buying, say, DDR4 3000 modules having in mind that I don't plan on overclocking my system? (at least not anytime soon). Is the extra bandwitch useful for something, or does any other PC component uses it?
There has been no attainable performance from faster RAM for a while now unless you do something that specifically requires memory bandwidth (or use an APU). I technically have 1866 sticks and run them at 1600, and I even have a 32GB kit of 2666 and don't use them because I like the lower profile PNY sticks. This is why in my previous post I said I wanted to prioritize CPU speed over RAM speed even on the AMD platform using DDR2.

Also sorry, I thought this posted before but sometimes my work network blocks a post.

Oh well, then most surely DDR4 2400 will be :)

It's cheap enough, and it's not like I wanna innecessarely hinder my CPU with slower RAM....not that it makes any sense xD
