G.Skill Ripjaws S5 DDR5-6000 Spec and Price in the United States

DDR52x16GBUDIMM10.00 ns true latency

Ripjaws S5 is G.SKILL's non-RGB take on a mainstream-to-enthusiast DDR5-6000 kit, running the exact same 6000 MT/s, CL30, 30-40-40-96 timings and 1.35V profile as G.SKILL's Trident Z5 RGB. Since the underlying numbers are identical between the two, the only real variable is whether a build wants illuminated modules or a plainer finish. Remove RGB from the comparison entirely and what's left is 6000 MT/s at CL30, 30-40-40-96, 1.35V — identical on both kits.

Tied 40th of 139 models in the RAM catalog on Speed — 33 models share this figure.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Well suited to Intel platforms, with compact, attractive low-profile modules at a reasonable price.

Commonly criticised

  • Optimized for Intel only, so AMD owners get less benefit, and overclocking headroom is below average.
