Kingston KCP316ND8/8 8 GB (1x8GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston KCP316ND8/8 8 GB ships as a single module with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns. 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 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. At $23.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
