G.Skill Ripjaws 4 GB (2x2GB DDR3-2000)

The G.Skill Ripjaws 4 GB ships as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 2000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 9ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR3 pricing in the mid-range tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $62.29 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
