Wintec Value 8 GB (2x4GB DDR3-1600)

The Wintec Value 8 GB arrives 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 11, working out to a true latency of about 13.8ns. DDR3 pricing in the budget tier makes this a sensible pairing for older AM4 and LGA1700 boards that top out at DDR4.

8GB gives you enough headroom for esports and everyday use; past 3600 MT/s, extra frequency brings diminishing returns. At $45.96 it sits in the budget memory kit bracket. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing.
