Corsair XMS3 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Corsair XMS3 8 GB comes as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 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 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current memory kit prices across retailers.
