Kingston KSM24ED8/16ME 16 GB (1x16GB DDR4-2400)

The Kingston KSM24ED8/16ME 16 GB comes as a single module with 16GB of DDR4 on board. It is rated at 2400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 17, working out to a true latency of about 14.2ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 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 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. Expect to pay around $199.00, which lands it among high-end options.
