Kingston HyperX 4 GB (2x2GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston HyperX 4 GB ships as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 8, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. 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. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. At $49.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
