Kingston HyperX 3 GB (3x1GB DDR3-1866)

The Kingston HyperX 3 GB ships as 3 modules of 1GB each with 3GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 9.6ns.

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. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR3 option easy to justify. Expect to pay around $86.02, which lands it among mid-range options.
