Corsair Vengeance 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-1866)

The Corsair Vengeance 16 GB ships as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 9.6ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. DDR3 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $173.43, which lands it among high-end options.
