G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-4000)

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 4000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 14, working out to a true latency of about 7ns.

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. DDR4 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $176.90 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
