G.Skill Sniper X 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-3600)

The G.Skill Sniper X 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. It is rated at 3600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 19, working out to a true latency of about 10.6ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

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. Its $134.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
