Kingston HyperX 2 GB (2x1GB DDR3-1333)

The Kingston HyperX 2 GB comes as 2 modules of 1GB each with 2GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 10.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR3 option easy to justify. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 2GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Expect to pay around $125.00, which lands it among high-end options.
