Corsair Vengeance LED 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-3000)

The Corsair Vengeance LED 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. It is rated at 3000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 10.7ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into 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. At $169.00 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
