Patriot G Series Sector 5 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Patriot G Series Sector 5 8 GB comes as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is specced for 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 9, working out to a true latency of about 11.3ns.

DDR3 pricing in the mid-range tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 8GB on offer here is the spec that counts for esports and everyday use. At $66.01 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
