TEAMGROUP Vulcan 16 GB (2x8GB DDR3-1600)

The TEAMGROUP Vulcan 16 GB comes 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 10, working out to a true latency of about 12.5ns. 16GB gives you enough headroom for modern AAA titles; 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. At $39.99 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket.
