G.SKILL Ripjaws F3 8GB CL7 1600mhz Memory Kit Review

SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about your hardware, software and other devices whether hardware or software.

Sandra is a (girl) name of Greek origin that means “defender”, “helper of mankind”. We think that’s quite fitting.

It works along the lines of other Windows utilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to draw comparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get information about the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCI Express), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

Native ports for all major operating systems are available:

  • Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x86)
  • Windows XP, 2003/R2, Vista, 7, 2008/R2 (x64)
  • Windows 2003/R2, 2008/R2* (IA64)
  • Windows Mobile 5.x (ARM CE 5.01)
  • Windows Mobile 6.x (ARM CE 5.02)

All major technologies are supported and taken advantage of:

  • SMP – Multi-Processor
  • MC – Multi-Core
  • SMT/HT – Hyper-Threading
  • MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, FMA – Multi-Media instructions

It's a very fast kit of Thermaltake ToughRAM memory - but is it worth buying?

8 comments

  1. Only problem with gskill is their availability is poor.

  2. This raises a good point. generally CL7 kits are much better quality than the CL9 counterparts which are cheaper. CL9 also have lower production costs.

  3. GSKILL are small but they know the enthusiast audience demands very well. This looks to be a fantastic kit. well worth looking at in the new year for a new system

  4. I still have a 2GB GSKILL kit that I bought years ago and I think this company are much better than OCZ or any of the others for performance memory.

  5. very good performance. 4GB sticks used to be painfully bad. like this pricing too

  6. G.Skill has good price/performance value there. I got their Trident kit last year. It’s oced like a dream and price is good too.

  7. very very sexy, like it.

  8. I need new memory, but 4GB is more than enough. still, gskill make good stuff. always liked their ram.
