If you're looking for top-of-the-line performance and are dead set on going the traditional route, then you cannot go wrong with G.Skill's Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB). It's not quite as fast as some other kits on this list, but it does have some pretty fantastic specs of its own.
The G.Skill also calls out the module's high quality, low voltage ICs, and CMKX Heat Spreaders, making it one of the harder-hitting memory kits we've seen. With (2 x 8GB) RAM quantity, this DDR4 memory supports 3000 MHz RAM speed and CL15 CAS Latency.
