G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1600)

The G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns. 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.
