Crucial CT102464BA160B 8 GB (1x8GB DDR3-1600)

The Crucial CT102464BA160B 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns.

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 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Expect to pay around $30.00, which lands it among budget options.
