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. It is rated at 4000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 17, working out to a true latency of about 8.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 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.

As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $176.90, which lands it among high-end options. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
