G.Skill Ripjaws V 8 GB (1x8GB DDR4-2400)

The G.Skill Ripjaws V 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR4 on board. It is rated at 2400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 17, working out to a true latency of about 14.2ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR4 option easy to justify. Expect to pay around $99.99, which lands it among mid-range options.
