DDR4 is the fourth generation of RAM (Random Access Memory) technology for computers. It replaces DDR3 and offers increased speeds and larger capacities.
Specifically, DDR4 offers operating speeds ranging from 2133 MT/s up to 4800 MT/s and CAS Latency (CL) from CL 9 up to CL 22. Its capacity has been increased up to 32 GB per memory module.
When choosing speed (MT/s) and capacity (GB), higher is generally better, but it's important to ensure that our motherboard supports the selected speed and capacity. For CAS Latency (CL), lower is better.
The Ripjaws V operates at a speed of 3200 MT/s with a CL16 and 16GB of memory per module.
