G.Skill TridentX Series

★★★★☆ 4.1 (39)

The 2400 MT/s speed and tight CL10 latency on this quad-channel kit push DDR3 platforms to their limit for responsive gaming. Its removable heat spreader design offers build flexibility that purely performance-focused kits lack. This memory is best for overclockers squeezing maximum frame rates from older Intel Z87 or Z97 systems.
