Mushkin Proline 12 GB (3x4GB DDR3-1066)

The Mushkin Proline 12 GB ships as 3 modules of 4GB each with 12GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 1066 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 13.1ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 12GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR3 option easy to justify. At $97.99 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
