Mushkin Essentials 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-2133)

The Mushkin Essentials 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each 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. 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.

As a mid-range DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $112.40 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
