G.Skill Ares 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-2133)

The G.Skill Ares 16 GB comes as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2133 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 9.4ns.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. DDR3 pricing in the premium tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $260.03 it sits in the premium memory kit bracket.
