Kingston KVR18R13D4/16 16 GB (1x16GB DDR3-1866)

The Kingston KVR18R13D4/16 16 GB ships as a single module with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 13, working out to a true latency of about 13.9ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. As a mid-range 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 $91.93 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
