Crucial Ballistix 8 GB (1x8GB DDR4-2666)

The Crucial Ballistix 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 12ns. DDR4 pricing in the mid-range tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $92.99 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
