Corsair XMS 6 GB (3x2GB DDR3-1333)

The Corsair XMS 6 GB ships as 3 modules of 2GB each with 6GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 8, working out to a true latency of about 12ns. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR3 option easy to justify.

6GB 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.
