Kingston KVR1333D3D4R9SK2/16G 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1333)

The Kingston KVR1333D3D4R9SK2/16G 16 GB comes as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 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.

As a mid-range DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $74.50 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
