G.Skill Ripjaws Z 32 GB (8x4GB DDR3-1600)

The G.Skill Ripjaws Z 32 GB comes as 8 modules of 4GB each with 32GB 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.

DDR3 pricing in the premium tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 32GB on offer here is the spec that counts for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work. At $282.99 it sits in the premium memory kit bracket.
