Mushkin Proline 12 GB (3x4GB DDR3-1333)

The Mushkin Proline 12 GB arrives as 3 modules of 4GB each with 12GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns. 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.

As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $36.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
