Kingston ValueRAM 48 GB (3x16GB DDR3-1600)

The Kingston ValueRAM 48 GB comes as 3 modules of 16GB each with 48GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns. 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 48GB on offer here is the spec that counts for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work. Its $198.98 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
