Mushkin Silverline 4 GB (2x2GB DDR3-1600)

The Mushkin Silverline 4 GB arrives as 2 modules of 2GB each with 4GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 7, working out to a true latency of about 8.8ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 4GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use.

As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. At $38.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest memory kit deals from multiple stores.
