G.Skill Trident Z 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-4000)

The G.Skill Trident Z 16 GB comes as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. It is specced for 4000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 19, working out to a true latency of about 9.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR4 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $159.00 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
