PNY Anarchy X 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-2666)

The PNY Anarchy X 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 12, working out to a true latency of about 9ns.

DDR3 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. 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. Its $144.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
