Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-2666)

The Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB ships as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 7.5ns. 16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this premium DDR3 option easy to justify. Expect to pay around $325.26, which lands it among premium options.
