    This is a fantastic deal, was disappointed when it went to $130.

    If you are considering this I would snatch it while it is at this price.

  • camelthief on 17/09/2019 - 09:32

    Wow, nice deal OP!

    Am I right in thinking that latency is more important than clock speed for Ryzen?

    • parallelparadox on 17/09/2019 - 10:01

      Its both to be honest. Ryzen is happy with the lowest true latency you can provide it with.
      For example a 3000Mhz CAS 15 has a true latency of 10 and so does a 3200MHZ CAS 16 kit. So at base speeds and timings they will perform similarly.

    • Danthemanz on 17/09/2019 - 12:34

      I believe its most important to match 1:1 with the internal clocks, then latency is more important after that.

      • parallelparadox on 17/09/2019 - 17:43

        Yup, this is once you get to Overclocking etc though. You need to ensure your FCLK=MCLK=UCLK. If you are using XMP profile as set by the RAM manufacturer then you dont need to worry about those, unless you have gone and changed those setting previously.

          don't really need more than 16

          It entirely depends on your application. But if you're not already sure you need more than 16 (i.e., you know you have workloads, systems, etc. that require that much RAM), I would agree that you wouldn't. If you're only buying RAM "because I have slots so might as well" / "future-proofing" / similar, you probably don't need it.

    • netsurfer on 17/09/2019 - 12:51

      Depends. Are you using XMP at the moment? If yes, are you able to get things to run properly if set manually?
      It's unclear how XMP will behave with 2 sets and I've had experience where BIOS XMP picked the more aggressive timings and voltage and caused problems.

      Also, if it is Ryzen, 4 DIMMs is generally the harder setup to get working. Most people are quite happy with 2 DIMMs setup. Also had a set of 2 DIMMs which run fine using XMP, but run really poorly with manual settings (won't work with the same settings as XMP if specified manually - don't understand why).

  • Rumbaar on 17/09/2019 - 10:14

    Got these back in July for $115, haven't had an issue with them. DOn't need more than 16Gb I currently have.

  • aboutconfig on 17/09/2019 - 10:25

    Good price, but to get the best potential for Ryzen 3 you need 3600MHz, so either of this one, or buy the 3600MHz

  • beatsntoons on 17/09/2019 - 10:25

    I bought this in the last batch but got stuffed by Amazon for delivery (even though I paid for express).
    Cancelled the order, bought from Shopping Express instead (more expensive but it's a 3 days order-to-delivery turnaround)

  • ieatbargain4dinner on 17/09/2019 - 10:28

    This or Crucial Ballistix?

    • parallelparadox on 17/09/2019 - 11:01

      If you can find the E-die Ballistix kits go for that. I have mine running at 3733MHz Cas 16 at the moment with my Ryzen 3700X.

      • Bowchkawowow on 17/09/2019 - 14:11

        volts?

        • parallelparadox on 17/09/2019 - 16:52

          Didnt overclock the CPU or change any voltages there. Only bumped the DRAM voltage to 1.42.

      • aboutconfig on 17/09/2019 - 14:17

        Anywhere to find it?

        • parallelparadox on 17/09/2019 - 16:53

          Any kits with AES in the product code will be the crucial Ballistix E-Die.

      • ieatbargain4dinner on 18/09/2019 - 08:48

        Thanks, bought the Ballistix already, just wanted to check. The one I got is 3000Mhz CL15, but should be able to OC it to 3433Mhz CL16, I hope

        • parallelparadox on 18/09/2019 - 14:19

          It has potential to go higher depending on the kit and the timings and voltages you will use.

    As great a deal as this is I would avoid buying Corsair RAM where you can't return it easily. I've had a stick of this DOA. The salesman at Umart noted that they are constantly getting returns on Corsair RAM. That was about 1-2 years ago so not sure if their quality control has improved since then.

      I had a set of this start throwing issues around a year after I bought them, bought from Newegg (US). I had no issues contacting Corsair directly and arranging an RMA. 1-2 weeks return, paid, to Taiwan. Some people seem upset that you need to return both sticks in the set but it seems fair to me that you would.

      Yes.

      • dnvrngts on 17/09/2019 - 11:47

        Will it increase performance for gaming drastically or minimally?

        • timetoknockoff on 17/09/2019 - 14:11

          It'll be worth going dual channel, you'll have a noticeable increase in fps.

        • aboutconfig on 17/09/2019 - 14:51

          upgrade single to dual, you can achieve 18% fps increase on average
          upgrade dual to quad channel, you can achieve another 18% fps increase on average
          upgrade from 2400MHz to 3200MHz, you can achieve about 1% incrase
          upgrade from 16GB to 32GB, you can achieve 0.5% fps increase on average

          so if your budget is tight, buy 4GB X4 DDR4 2666 ~ 3200MHz, it will save you money and makes almost no difference compared to
          8GB X 4, and is faster than 16GB X2.

          98% game does not need more ram than 16GB

          Use 4GB X4, save your money from 8GB X4 into your GPU

    • shizzle on 17/09/2019 - 11:53

      note that your CPU limits how fast you can run this RAM.

      The 2300X supports up to 64 GiB of dual-channel DDR4-2933 memory.

      So basically you couldn't reach the stated 3200 speed, unless you upgrade the CPU later

      • solidussnake on 17/09/2019 - 14:08

        Is that the same for intel processors ?

      • dnvrngts on 17/09/2019 - 14:16

        So for my current cpu it would be better to get 3000 speed ram?

        • shizzle on 17/09/2019 - 15:05

          Yep, assuming you can get 3000 rated RAM cheaper than this

          • dnvrngts on 17/09/2019 - 15:42

            @shizzle: If I buy another stick of 8GB DDR4 RAM 2400 but a different brand and combine them would it still work?

            • shizzle on 17/09/2019 - 22:05

              @dnvrngts: Yes this will work too. If you want to, you can download 'thaiphoon burner' to see what type of die your current ram has, then Google for other 8gb models with the same die type for best results.

  • selphie on 17/09/2019 - 12:17

    Looking back, just over 2 years ago (2 June 2017) I bought my Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 kit. Paid $163.10 ($189 * 20% ebay discount). It overclocks to 3200 C16 easily on my B350 mobo.
    At that time it was already expensive due to DDR shortage but needed it for my new Ryzen build, and few months later it went north of $200.
    This is a good deal.

      the umart one is 3000mhz CL16, while OP's is 3200 CL16, so latter is a tit bit faster.
      if you want to spend that much, might as well get 3600mhz to maximize infinity bandwidth for your zen2 proc:

        He is counting on getting Micron Rev E memory chips on the Crucial Ballistix. If so, the overclockability is quite high and DDR4-3466 with no voltage bump is easily achieved. DDR4-3600 with voltage bump is generally achievable. You do have to mess around with timings though. There is also the RGB factor.

        This Corsair LPX kit is optimised for intel, which suggests a high chance of the standard Hynix RAM chips. If you don't want to mess around and just want cost effective RAM modules, you could consider the LPX kit. Frankly, unless you have RTX 2080 or 2080 Ti + proper gaming monitor, you won't be able to notice the difference.

      Most boards are only dual channel aren't they? Like they can have 4 slots but memory speed doesn't increase going from 2 to 4 sticks in that case.

      • aboutconfig on 17/09/2019 - 15:15

        Or maybe say it 4 slots vs 2 slots?

          I know using the 4 slots, the memory bandwidth would be doubled

          No, it won't. It's still dual channel. Quad channel requires server class setup and that type of setup is most certainly NOT for gaming. You cannot benefit that much from physical RAM when it comes to gaming. Honestly, GPU's VRAM plays a bigger role in gaming.

    • netsurfer on 17/09/2019 - 15:00
      +2

      upgrade dual to quad channel, you can achieve another 18% fps increase on average

      Not true for current gen consumer level CPUs and motherboards. Dual channel support only.

      In fact, for AMD, it is far more risky going for 4 DIMMs. For example, even the Micron Rev E based DIMMs, they are much easier to overclock with 2 DIMMs. At 4 DIMMS, you pretty much must increase the Command Rate from 1T to 2T and that performance penalty needs a lot more frequency bump or timing reduction to make up (and there is no chance you get better timings for 4 DIMMs over 2 DIMMs). So, if you are going for AMD setup, try to stick with 2 DIMMs.

      • aboutconfig on 17/09/2019 - 15:16

        So its true for Intel?

        Good to know. So I guess I'll stay with 2 on AMD.
