G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-4000)

The G.Skill TridentZ RGB 16 GB comes as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. It is rated at 4000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 8ns. 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.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $159.00, which lands it among high-end options.
