Overview
This G.Skill RipjawsV kit doubles up to 32GB total by pairing two 16GB DDR4 modules, running the same CL16-18-18-38 timings as G.Skill's smaller-capacity kit in this line.
Anyone who has outgrown a 16GB setup, multitasking with browsers, editors and virtual machines at once, is the target here rather than an entry-level build. As with its DDR4 siblings, the rated 3200MT/s only kicks in once the included XMP profile is turned on, and G.Skill again warns against mixing modules from separate kits.
- 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 U-DIMM
- Rated 3200MT/s, CL16-18-18-38 timings
- JEDEC default plus Intel XMP profile included
- 1.35V, 288-pin desktop form factor
Who it's for
Suited to builders who want more headroom than a 16GB kit gives, for heavier multitasking or memory-hungry creative software. Overkill for a basic browsing or office PC where 16GB is already enough.
Pros and cons
- 32GB (2x16GB) capacity from just two DIMMs
- Leaves spare motherboard slots free for later expansion
- Same CL16-18-18-38 timings as the smaller RipjawsV kit
- JEDEC and XMP profiles both included
- Rated speed still requires enabling XMP rather than working by default
- DDR4 only, so it won't fit a DDR5 board
Performance notes
G.Skill rates this kit at 3200MT/s with CL16-18-18-38 timings and 1.35V, reachable via the bundled XMP profile once the motherboard supports it. The larger 16GB-per-module density means fewer total sticks are needed to hit 32GB, leaving spare DIMM slots open on four-slot boards for a future upgrade.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the 16GB or 32GB RipjawsV kit?
This is the 32GB kit, made up of two 16GB modules, model F4-3200C16D-32GVK.
Do I need XMP enabled to hit 3200MT/s?
Yes, without enabling the included XMP profile the kit runs at the lower JEDEC default speed.
Can I add another kit later to reach 64GB?
G.Skill recommends against mixing separate kits due to possible instability; check its QVL or consider a single larger validated kit instead.
