Kingston HyperX Blu 2 GB (1x2GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston HyperX Blu 2 GB arrives as a single module with 2GB 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. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR3 option easy to justify.

2GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $65.99, which lands it among mid-range options.
