Patriot Viper Elite II 32 GB (2x16GB DDR4-2666)

The Patriot Viper Elite II 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 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 12ns. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR4 option easy to justify.

32GB gives you enough headroom for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Its $227.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
