Panram Falcon 4 GB (1x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Panram Falcon 4 GB ships as a single module with 4GB of DDR3 on board. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. 4GB 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. Its $20.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory.
