G.Skill Trident Z Royal 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-3600)

The G.Skill Trident Z Royal 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 3600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 8.9ns. 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. Expect to pay around $129.00, which lands it among high-end options.
