TEAMGROUP Vulcan 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-1600)

The TEAMGROUP Vulcan 8 GB comes as 2 modules of 4GB each with 8GB of DDR3 on board. It is specced for 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. 8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns.

As a budget DDR3 kit, it slots naturally into older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4. Its $39.99 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current memory kit prices across retailers.
