Mushkin Redline 12 GB (3x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Mushkin Redline 12 GB arrives as 3 modules of 4GB each with 12GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 8.8ns. 12GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $34.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current memory kit prices across retailers.
