Kingston ValueRAM 16 GB (1x16GB DDR4-2133)

The Kingston ValueRAM 16 GB arrives as a single module with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2133 MT/s with a CAS latency of 15, working out to a true latency of about 14.1ns. 16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR4 option easy to justify. Its $118.74 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory.
