Mushkin Redline 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-2133)

The Mushkin Redline 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 2133 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 8.4ns. 16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $51.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
