G.Skill Trident X 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-2800)

The G.Skill Trident X 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 2800 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 7.9ns. As a mid-range DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into 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 $62.29 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory.
