As you're probably aware from reading our recent news release, G.Skill has announced two new lines of memory designed to work seamlessly with the new 6th Generation Intel Core (Skylake) processors. New for the Skylake platform are the DDR4 Ripjaws V and Trident Z series, with a kit from the Ripjaws V family on tap for review today. The kit we have is rated for 3600 MHz, which is a pretty impressive out-of-box speed. G.Skill has been well known for their high-quality and enthusiast-driven memory products for quite some time now, so let's go see if this kit can hold up that tradition.

Nice work. Curious as to how these sticks can run on X99 at lower speeds. Previously Samsung at speeds over 3200 had to be run at timings like 16-17-17 or 16-18-18, but lately kits have been able to tighten down to 16-16-16 at 3300/3400. I don't know if something changed with Samsung's manufacturing process or what, since the IC is the same as always.
