Patriot Gamer 24 GB (6x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Patriot Gamer 24 GB arrives as 6 modules of 4GB each with 24GB 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. As a mid-range DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 24GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. At $99.89 it sits in the mid-range memory kit bracket.
