Ripjaws V and X99 - any known issues

[LED_Guy]

i just saw that G.Skill recently released their Ripjaws V (DDR4). Thesee are higher speed DDR4 modules and are listed as being optimized for Skylake processors (dual channel)

I am working on a build and originally bought 2800 MHz CL16 DDR4. I do a lot of ray trace modeling which is hugely ram intensive, so I am considering upgrading to 3200 MHz CL15 DDR4

I don't want to hear that I don't need 64GB of RAM because I do and my build is dual use work/gaming.

My concern is are there any issues with using Ripjaws V DDR4 on an X99 build (dual channel optimized vs quad channel optimized).

My build is using an ASUS X99 Deluxe mobo, i7 5960X cpu and 64GB DDR4.

There shouldn't be ny issue but check the most up to date compatibility charts to make sure

I don't think so, I think the 'made for skylake' thing is just a marketing gimmick.

Yep, it's to suck in the larger consumer base that Skylake has (or will have)

From what I've read, its due to the fact that Skylake only has dual channel, where as the Haswell-E has quad channel, meaning that the Haswell-E will take a harder hit on the socket, in short meaning you have to shorten your maximum overclock on the CPU. But you shouldn't have any problems running them, if their speeds are supported.

Hi,

I'v purchased a 32BG Ripjaws V kit for my ASUS X99-A. Running the DIMMs at default speed is working fine, at least for me. Running XMP isn't working at all. While trying to run XMP I'm getting BIOS freezes and BSODs. I'v tried to adjust the VCCSA, but to no effect.
