Kingston HyperX 3 GB (3x1GB DDR3-2000)

The Kingston HyperX 3 GB arrives as 3 modules of 1GB each with 3GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 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 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. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
