Kingston HyperX 24 GB (6x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston HyperX 24 GB arrives as 6 modules of 4GB each with 24GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

24GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $49.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
