Kingston HyperX 8 GB (4x2GB DDR3-1866)

The Kingston HyperX 8 GB ships as 4 modules of 2GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 9.6ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use.

As a mid-range DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $86.02 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
