Mushkin Essentials 32 GB (1x32GB DDR4-2666)

The Mushkin Essentials 32 GB arrives as a single module with 32GB of DDR4 on board. It is rated at 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 19, working out to a true latency of about 14.3ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 32GB gives you enough headroom for gaming plus heavy multitasking and content work; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

As a high-end DDR4 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $249.99 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
