Mushkin Proline 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1866)

The Mushkin Proline 16 GB comes as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 13, working out to a true latency of about 13.9ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR3 pricing in the mid-range tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $79.99, which lands it among mid-range options.
