Mushkin Proline 8 GB (1x8GB DDR3-1066)

The Mushkin Proline 8 GB arrives as a single module with 8GB 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 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use.

As a mid-range DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $97.99 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
