Know before you buy
This is a DDR5 memory kit, so it is only compatible with motherboards that have DDR5 DIMM slots. It will not fit into older DDR4-based systems, so please verify your motherboard's memory support before purchasing.
To run this memory at its rated 6400MHz speed, you must enable the Intel XMP 3.0 profile in your motherboard's BIOS settings. Without enabling this profile, the RAM will default to a lower, standard JEDEC speed.
Yes, the Ripjaws M5 RGB lighting is designed to sync with major motherboard RGB software, such as ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, and ASRock Polychrome Sync.
Absolutely. The 64GB capacity and tight CL32 latency make this kit an excellent choice for memory-intensive tasks like 4K video editing, 3D rendering, and running multiple virtual machines simultaneously.
No, this kit does not support ECC (Error Correction Code). It is designed for high-performance gaming and enthusiast desktop builds rather than server or workstation environments that require ECC memory.
The Ripjaws M5 features a standard-profile aluminum heatspreader designed to balance thermal performance with compatibility. However, if you use a massive air cooler, it is always a good idea to check your cooler's clearance specifications against the height of these modules.
