Kingston HyperX T1 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-2000)

The Kingston HyperX T1 8 GB ships as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 2000 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 9ns.

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 budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $49.99, which lands it among budget options.
