Not the greatest price, but at the moment where there is a shortage and prices are inflated, the pricing seems quite reasonable.

Purchased white versions of this for $118 about a month ago before pricing went up. Seen these as high as $180 recently.

With things in lock down, I'm guessing it will take at least 3 months to get back to normal. If you need it now, or in the near forseeable future, you might want to pick these up now.

21/5: Price now $144.45 (was $140.65)

        I was looking at the 32GB RAM at $249 and now its $300ish

        • dcep on 04/04/2020 - 23:30

          low speed 32gb was 140 here till it lasted

          Hold off till this coronavirus situation gets better and flash memory prices come back to normal.

            @Omk4r123: It might take a while. Companies need to be able to supply materials, then factories can ramp up again, then they have to be able to export, and we've got to be able to handle the imports before the retailers can get their hands on it again. I'm estimating it will be at least 3 months before things start to resemble normal again.

              @Posts: 3 months? You're optimistic, i guess 1 year at least…

        • Posts on 04/04/2020 - 23:31

          I saw there was a 32GB 3000Mhz C15 for around $250. It's gone now.

  • AussieDeals on 05/04/2020 - 00:54

    These crazy prices for every computer part right now have just convinced me to wait till the end of the year for all the next gen hardware that will come. Though I guess ram and ssds aren't going to change much this year

    If everything's gonna be priced at top dollar for the foreseeable future might as well wait for those GPUs and CPUs at least to get some increased performance for my money

    • unknown on 05/04/2020 - 02:12

      Unless our dollar bounces back, next gen hardware won’t come cheap. Assuming it comes at all with the likelihood of delays.

      • AussieDeals on 05/04/2020 - 10:24
        +1

        I know that, my point is that current Gen hardware is already so ridiculously priced may as well wait and only pay these ridiculous prices for the new stuff (which will still likely offer better price to performance) rather than buy old stuff.

        Doubt the AUD will stabilise at a level much lower than the 59.9c US long term. Also the end of the year timeframe I mentioned in my original comment takes into account all the delays (the new stuff was meant to be announced throughout the April to August period but even with delays should be announced sometime late this year).

        They were already likely in the process to shifting manufacturing to new designs (e.g. Intel Z490 motherboard manufacturing for comet lake S) so it is unlikely these companies are going just ditch this new stuff, when production of the new gen components is already in swing.

          When DDR5 comes out, it's not going to be cheap, and it's going to take years before it matures like DDR4 has become. When DDR4 first came out, it was the low end and there was little benefit of it over the top end DDR3. The price difference was crazy. I would say expect the same with DDR5. I don't think they will be releasing DDR5 8500Mhz straight off the bat, mainly because of the lack of device support and the pricing. So don't think just because DDR5 is out, keep in mind the adoption of it will take it's time.

          As for the dollar bounce back, if (and it is a big IF) the Australians are the first to come out with the Covid Vacinne, it will have a major impact to our AUD.

            @Posts: Agree.

            They'll most likely be used on server/enterprise markets first too.

          • JacobHarvey on 05/04/2020 - 10:45

            @Posts: That's a valid concern, but likely referring to mainly waiting for things like the RTX 3000 series, Big Navi and seeing how the Comet Lake S CPUs with hyperthreading on every tier will perform (all these things are 2020 releases with comet lake likely releasing in the next 2 months) rather than waiting till 2021 for DDR5

          • dcep on 05/04/2020 - 15:33

            @Posts: ddr5 starts from 3200mhz

            • Posts on 05/04/2020 - 15:55

              @dcep: I understand. It will take years before DDR5 matures to 8500Mhz and DDR5 3200Mhz will be expensive when first introduced.

      • dexx on 14/04/2020 - 14:03

        thankfully our dollar has already climbed back from a dismal 57c to 62c. 5 more cents and we'll be back to normal

      if you can hold out for 1 or 2 years it's not a bad idea, check out ddr5 looks hype as hell

      • scud70 on 05/04/2020 - 17:52

        i would say early consumer versions will be 2 years away and they'll likely be only as good as higher DDR4's or maybe a little worse (usual generation crossover, happened with DDR4 and DDR3)… :) But yep it is showing promise … although expected since we are now what 6 years into DDR 4 ? hehehe

        • abctoz on 05/04/2020 - 18:12

          yeh 2 years sounds about right. if the past is any guide what the offical specs say is usually the lower bound and you very likely can overclock way higher, when ddr4 first came out most of the samsung/hynix kits did 3000+ easy, only micron was capped at 2666 initially

    Hi all,

    Just be mindful that most likely your motherboard will default your ram voltage setting to 1.2v, which results in your ram speed to around the low 2000mhz range.

    You need to go into your bios and enable xmp profile to jump it to 1.35v and full speed

    • chyawala on 05/04/2020 - 08:35

      Is that for AMD?

      • bpop99 on 05/04/2020 - 08:41
        +2

        It would be for both AMD and Intel systems that support XMP

      • Ausdave on 05/04/2020 - 08:46

        Yep what bpop99 stated.

        Google/YouTube "enable xmp profile "insert your motherboard brand model"

  • 4foxache on 05/04/2020 - 09:37

    I reckon some G.Skill DDR4000 will future proof your system if you have AMD… its likely Ryzen 4000 will support up to DDR4000 speeds.

    https://www.eyo.com.au/602104_g-skill-ripjawsv-16g-kit-2x8g-…

    I have a set, it has the new Hynix DJR ram which is apparently about the 3rd best you can get behind Samsung B-Die etc. Loves voltage likes around 1.45V for me.

    The 3000MHz C15 kit is $132.76 https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B014JESKRW?smid=ANEGB3WVEVKZB , so even cheaper if you want to save more.

    FYI 3000MHz with C15 timings will perform basically the same as the higher speed 3200MHz but looser C16 timing kit above.

    I got a pair last month for a PC, and I was able to further tighten the timings to 14-16-16-35 (or -34?)-30 (just checked) with 1.36V. The kit was using Hynix MFR dies (FYI if you want to know what memory dies your LPX has https://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=188134).

      Thanks. Your comment made me finally google what the hell RAM timings are. Now I finally understand :P
      In case anywone else was like me, I found this youtube video explained it nicely: https://youtu.be/Yed-a9vqTYc

    I bought a pair of this for $97 from Amazon before the Xmas, I think it is not the RAM price going up. it is because of our dollar (profanity) up.
