Patriot Signature Line 16 GB (1x16GB DDR4-2666)

The Patriot Signature Line 16 GB arrives as a single module with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 19, working out to a true latency of about 14.3ns. As a mid-range 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. At $97.99 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
