G.Skill Trident X 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-2400)

The G.Skill Trident X 16 GB comes as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 2400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 8.3ns. 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. DDR3 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $176.40 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
