Mushkin Essentials 4 GB (1x4GB DDR4-2133)

The Mushkin Essentials 4 GB ships as a single module with 4GB 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. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR4 option easy to justify.

4GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $33.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
