G.Skill Trident Z RGB 8 GB (1x8GB DDR4-3000)

The G.Skill Trident Z RGB 8 GB arrives as a single module with 8GB of DDR4 on board. It is specced for 3000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 10.7ns. 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.

For gaming, capacity matters more than raw speed past 3600 MT/s — 8GB comfortably covers esports and everyday use. Its $189.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
