TEAMGROUP Elite 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1600)

The TEAMGROUP Elite 16 GB arrives as 2 modules of 8GB each with 16GB of DDR3 on board. Operating voltage sits at 1.35V. It is rated at 1600 MT/s with a CAS latency of 11, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns.

Once memory clears 3600 MT/s, frequency gains taper off, so the 16GB on offer here is the spec that counts for modern AAA titles. DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Expect to pay around $39.99, which lands it among budget options.
