Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-2133)

The Corsair Vengeance 8 GB comes as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 2133 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 8.4ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR3 option easy to justify.

8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $109.76 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
