Mushkin Redline 16 GB (2x8GB DDR4-2666)

The Mushkin Redline 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR4 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 2666 MT/s with a CAS latency of 19, working out to a true latency of about 14.3ns. Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this mid-range DDR4 option easy to justify.

16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. Expect to pay around $99.99, which lands it among mid-range options.
