PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-3600)

The PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 3600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 18, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR4 option easy to justify.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Its $159.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
