Patriot Viper Steel RGB 16 GB (1x16GB DDR4-3200)

The Patriot Viper Steel RGB 16 GB ships as a single module with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 3200 MT/s with a CAS latency of 18, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns. 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. At $147.99 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
