Crucial Ballistix Tactical 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Crucial Ballistix Tactical 4 GB comes as a single module with 4GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 8, working out to a true latency of about 10ns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR3 option easy to justify. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Its $44.75 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
