Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2/16G 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1333)

The Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2/16G 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 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. As a high-end DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

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. At $125.00 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
