G.Skill Trident Z 8 GB (2x4GB DDR4-3000)

The G.Skill Trident Z 8 GB comes as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 3000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 15, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. 8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $189.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
