Crucial CT2K16G3ERSLD4160B 32 GB (2x16GB DDR3-1600)

The Crucial CT2K16G3ERSLD4160B 32 GB arrives as 2 modules of 16GB each with 32GB 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.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 32GB on offer here is the spec that counts for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR3 option easy to justify. Its $98.99 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory.
