Mushkin Blackline 6 GB (3x2GB DDR3-1600)

The Mushkin Blackline 6 GB arrives as 3 modules of 2GB each with 6GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 8, working out to a true latency of about 10ns. 6GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $23.99, which lands it among budget options.
