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 specced for 3600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 14, working out to a true latency of about 7.8ns.

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. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR4 option easy to justify. Expect to pay around $134.99, which lands it among high-end options.
