Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-3200)

The Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 16 GB comes as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 3200 MT/s with a CAS latency of 22, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns.

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 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. Its $129.00 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory.
