Crucial Ballistix Sport 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1333)

The Crucial Ballistix Sport 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns.

DDR3 pricing in the mid-range tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. 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. Its $69.07 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory.
