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

The G.Skill Trident Z 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. It is specced for 4000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 18, working out to a true latency of about 9ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V.

DDR4 pricing in the high-end 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 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. Its $159.00 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
