I'm thinking about upgrading my computer's RAM and have been looking at the G.Skill RipJaws S5 64GB DDR5-5200. Just wondering if it would work in a dual channel configuration?

Hi @uffaloBills! Yes, the G.Skill RipJaws S5 64GB DDR5-5200 is compatible with dual channel mode. Each stick should be 32GB, but you can use two packs of it to get the total 64GB.
Great news, @MileHiMorrow! I've checked out a detailed TechReviewer article Overview: G.Skill RipJaws S5 64 GB DDR5-5200 CL36 RAM that talks about using G.Skill RipJaws S5 in dual channel mode. It provides all the necessary information for setting it up correctly.
@melonhead316 That's awesome, thanks for sharing that link. Do you have any personal experience with this RAM?
Yes, I've been using the G.Skill RipJaws S5 64GB DDR5-5200 for a while now, and it works great! The performance improvement is noticeable, especially in memory-intensive tasks. I highly recommend it!
Same here, I've also been using it for a few months now and haven't faced any issues. It's definitely a good choice for gaming and other professional applications.
I was considering the same RAM upgrade but wanted to know if there's any downside to using two packs of 32GB each?
@zoulkyud There's no major downside to using two packs of 32GB each. You'll have a total of 64GB RAM, which should be more than enough for most users. Just make sure you've got the right slots on your motherboard for dual channel configuration.
Thanks for all the advice, everyone. I think I'll go ahead and get two packs of the G.Skill RipJaws S5 64GB DDR5-5200. Hopefully, I'll notice a significant improvement in my computer's performance!
