Crucial Value DDR3 1x8Gb CT102472BB160B

No overpayment

The Crucial brand is owned by Micron Technology, one of the few memory manufacturers that has its own semiconductor fabs. Thanks to this, Crucial RAM modules are cheaper than those brands that have to buy memory chips on the side.

Optimal Frequencies

The Value DDR3 series is the simplest and most affordable in the Crucial lineup. She does not have any ultra-high frequencies (minimum 1600, maximum 2133 MHz), nor those required to conquer these very frequencies of metal radiators. However, the difference in performance between DDR3 memory with a frequency of 1600 and, say, 2400 MHz in real applications is minimal, and in games on a discrete graphics card it does not exist at all. Even if you use an integrated graphics accelerator, then a much greater performance boost will be given by the dual-channel mode of memory operation, rather than its increased frequency.

Individually or as a set

Both individual Crucial Value DDR3 memory modules with a volume of 4 or 8 GB are available for sale, as well as ready-made sets of two or four modules (up to a total of 32 GB).
