Mushkin Redline 16 GB (4x4GB DDR3-1866)

The Mushkin Redline 16 GB arrives as 4 modules of 4GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1866 MT/s with a CAS latency of 8, working out to a true latency of about 8.6ns. DDR3 pricing in the high-end tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $200.39 it sits in the high-end memory kit bracket.
