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 rated at 4266 MT/s with a CAS latency of 19, working out to a true latency of about 8.9ns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR4 option easy to justify. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 32GB on offer here is the spec that counts for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work. Expect to pay around $209.00, which lands it among high-end options.
