G.Skill Trident Z Royal 32 GB (2x16GB DDR4-4266)

The G.Skill Trident Z Royal 32 GB ships as 2 modules of 16GB each with 32GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 4266 MT/s with a CAS latency of 17, working out to a true latency of about 8ns. 32GB gives you enough headroom for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work; 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 $209.00 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
