G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-3000)

The G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. It is rated at 3000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 15, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR4 option easy to justify.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $189.99 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.
