Kingston KHX16C9K2/16 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston KHX16C9K2/16 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current memory kit prices across retailers. Support and warranty service run through Kingston, with terms that vary by region.
