Kingston Impact 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-2400)

The Kingston Impact 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 2400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 14, working out to a true latency of about 11.7ns. As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into 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. Its $129.90 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.
