Mushkin Redline 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-2400)

The Mushkin Redline 16 GB comes as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 2400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 9.2ns. As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into 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 $51.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
