Kingston HyperX 3 GB (3x1GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston HyperX 3 GB comes as 3 modules of 1GB each with 3GB 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. 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 3GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Expect to pay around $65.99, which lands it among mid-range options. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
