Mushkin Redline 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1866)

The Mushkin Redline 16 GB ships as 2 modules of 8GB 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 9, working out to a true latency of about 9.6ns.

DDR3 pricing in the mid-range 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 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. At $75.79 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
