Corsair Vengeance Pro 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1600)

The Corsair Vengeance Pro 16 GB comes as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 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.

As a mid-range DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $115.50 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
