G. SKILL 16GB DDR5 6000MT/s CL36 Ripjaws S5 Black
The G.SKILL 16GB DDR5 6000MT/s CL36 Ripjaws S5, Black RAM in a single-channel design with a total capacity of 16GB operates at a base frequency of 4,800MT/s with a voltage of 1.10V. After activating the overclocking profiles, it operates at a transfer speed of up to 6,000MT/s with CL36-36-36-96 timing and a voltage of 1.35V. The design uses a low-profile aluminium heatsink with a height of 33mm, which effectively dissipates excess heat from the memory chips. The hand-sorted integrated circuits undergo a rigorous validation process by the manufacturer. This memory, which has no RGB backlighting, received the Red Dot Design Award 2022 for its design featuring a racing stripe motif.

Key features of the G.SKILL 16GB DDR5 6000MT/s CL36 Ripjaws S5, Black RAM
- Memory type – The DDR5 standard brings higher data throughput and more efficient power management.
- Capacity – A single 16GB module provides enough space for demanding applications, games, and multitasking.
- Frequency – A transfer speed of 6,000MT/s supports fast data processing and a responsive system.
- Timing – The CL36-36-36-96 timing contributes to a fast response when working with data.
- Voltage – With an active profile, the module operates at 1.35V, while basic operation uses 1.10V.
- Optimisation – Support for Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles allows for easy adjustment of frequency, timing, and voltage in the BIOS.
- Cooling – The low-profile aluminium heatsink dissipates heat from the memory chips without the need for an active fan.
DDR5 memory architecture
The DDR5 standard delivers high data throughput. The architecture works with more efficient power management directly on the module itself, reducing power demands compared to older generations. This design change reduces operating temperatures and increases overall data transfer efficiency. The integrated PMIC circuit precisely regulates the power supply. The system can thus process more instructions at the same time while maintaining low power consumption.
Stability
The manufacturer selects individual memory chips through a strict hand-sorting process. Each integrated circuit undergoes demanding compatibility tests on motherboards from leading manufacturers. This meticulous selection of components helps prevent errors under heavy load. The system demonstrates a high degree of stability even during long-term operation.
Compact heatsink dimensions
The low-profile aluminium heatsink has a total height of only 33mm. Thanks to these dimensions, the module fits easily under large CPU coolers in space-constrained computer cases. The compact aluminium body effectively dissipates heat without the need to install an active fan. Installation requires no special modifications to surrounding components.
DDR5 overclocking profiles
The module supports both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO technologies for easy parameter adjustment in the BIOS. Users do not need to manually tune individual voltage and timing values to run at 6,000MT/s. The preset profiles simplify system configuration and lead to quick startup at the rated values. Correct functionality depends on motherboard and processor compatibility.
Memory module testing
Each production batch undergoes a strict validation process directly in the G.SKILL laboratories. Thorough quality control prevents unexpected system crashes during demanding calculations. The result is stable hardware ready for daily deployment.
Power and efficiency
The module operates at 1.35V under full load. A stable voltage contributes to the smooth running of the entire computer. The heatsink's design draws inspiration from classic racing stripes and grilles. The matt black finish is complemented by a perforated top section. The non-backlit design does not disrupt the overall look of the computer case's interior. The heatsink serves both an aesthetic and a protective role.
The memory kit will boot at the SPD speed when BIOS settings are at default.
For XMP enabled memory kits, enable XMP/DOCP/A-XMP in the BIOS to reach up to the rated XMP overclock speed, and system stability with overclocked memory kits may depend on the capability of the motherboard & CPU.
