Mushkin Redline 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-2400)

The Mushkin Redline 8 GB ships as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 2400 MT/s with a CAS latency of 10, working out to a true latency of about 8.3ns. 8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

Builders shopping for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4 will find this budget DDR3 option easy to justify. At $51.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
