Mushkin Blackline 8 GB (2x4GB DDR4-2800)

The Mushkin Blackline 8 GB arrives as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2800 MT/s with a CAS latency of 16, working out to a true latency of about 11.4ns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this high-end DDR4 option easy to justify. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Its $142.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
