Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-2133)

The Crucial Ballistix Tactical 8 GB arrives as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 2133 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 10.3ns.

DDR3 pricing in the budget 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 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Its $55.00 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
