G.Skill Trident Z Royal 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-4400)

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 specced for 4400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 17, working out to a true latency of about 7.7ns.

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. 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 $219.00, which lands it among high-end options.
