G.Skill Performance 2 GB (1x2GB DDR3-1600)

The G.Skill Performance 2 GB comes as a single module with 2GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR3 option easy to justify.

2GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Its $62.29 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory.
