Mushkin Proline 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-1333)

The Mushkin Proline 8 GB ships as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1333 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 13.5ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V.

DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. 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. Expect to pay around $20.99, which lands it among budget options.
