G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-3600)

The G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 3600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 18, working out to a true latency of about 10ns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR4 option easy to justify. 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. At $134.99 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
