Great price on a great 32GB DDR4 kit with good CL16 timings.
Seems to be around $229 at most other stores.
Metro shipping usually $9.95
EDIT: Red Aegis version even cheaper @ $169 + Del !
G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 $179 + Delivery @ Shopping Express

people are insane these days.
And, you could say the rrp of it on shoppingexpress is $699
Not sure why I'm negged for my joke but anyhoo…… those werent CL14 kits. Typo.
That's 2x8GB… it's gonna cost a hefty amount for 2x16GB.
Exactly, If 2.5x the price is worth that 14 to you, then go ahead.
But it sure ain't worth it to most of us obviously XD
The performance gains are too meager.

previous deal cl14, which is cheap.
who will pay for the rrp?
CL16 at 3600 or don't get out of bed
Just OC it. That's what I did, mind you my memory is Micron E-die and I can get it up to 3800Mhz CL16 (Haven't tried higher since I'm on Ryzen). Not sure what this memory is, but other comments suggest Samsung C-die.
Yeah I've got Hynix DJR its factory rated 4000CL18 but I run it 3600CL16
Samsung C-die hits high frequencies like Rev.E no problem, timings are a bit worse and it doesn't really scale past 1.356V. I have my 2666CL19 kit running 3733CL18, infinity fabric won't allow 1900 so I could do 3800CL18 but it'd involve decoupling which is not good.
I ended up getting a 2x16 kit of 3200MHz at CL14 from Amazon for $385. But they are not selling it anymore though.
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B071VRMFDQ/ref=ppx_yo_d…
good things are always gone quickly.
$385 that's like double, what were you on when you bought that???
Surely that extra $200 would be better spent on a fast CPU or GPU?
no RGB, no extra performance.
Just sticky tape a torch to them. FULL SPEEEEEED
What does "extra performance" mean in this context? Do you mean this memory doesn't overclock?
It's a well established fact that RGB lighting gives your PC extra performance. Also improves headshot accuracy in shooters.
LOL okay I see. I'd better hold out for that RGB then!
This was a risky click but it actually works!
Downloaded 32GB of DDR4-2400, make sure you get to the end for more info :)
May have to put another 28 degrees claim in, last cheapest price was $191 from Amazon
Once you add shipping, this is pretty close to $191.
It's gonna be $188.95 for most people delivered.
Put the claim in anyway they don't usually worry about shipping. Shoud be free anyway if spending that much
My 28D card doesnt have the insuracne. no new sign ups :(
Wow good find OP! It's pretty much guaranteed Samsung C-die, and if it reads B-die in Thaiphoon burner it's because G.Skill didn't get the SPD right. There's no way 16-18-18 is going to be B-die. If you want to OC expect 3600CL17 at 1.35V or lower, anything above 1.35V is a danger zone on 10nm. I mean it could be Hynix CJR, but (X) Doubt.
Yes, it is Samsung. I bought same during the last Amazon US sale (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/543380) for my new build and CPUID software confirms DRAM Manuf as Samsung.
This is a great price. Cheapest it has been I believe during COVID-19.
Well that confirms one, but I predicted a Corsair Vengeance to be C-die but it was both CJR and C-die depending on revision so it could be the same here.
If I was holding out to build my PC when new parts are released later this year, would it still make sense to buy this memory now? Or am I likely to get the same or better deal later on, do you think?
This is the best price I've seen on memory, I'd say to probably go for it. It's not like any new innovations will be made.
After a google of the product code, found a reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/62vp2g/clearing_up_any…
F4-3200C16D-32GVK
Seems that they were Hynix M-Die
3 years ago C-die didn't even exist, older batches seemed to have been MFR and they now migrated to C-die and CJR. MFR is garbage so my condolences if you get an older model lol.
Edit: This source tells me that it is C-die.
Good spot! Seems they are pretty good kit then. Even better deal.
I would upgrade, but I've go the Trident Z Neo 3600 c16's atm. I don't want to give up my RGB FPS advantage.
@MackemAB: Ah yeah RGB does make a big difference. My shitty $1000 PC only has bare PCB RAM overclocked from 2666CL19 to 3733CL18, it's still nothing without the RGB 😭
@Void: If the bare pcb ram bothers you as much as it bothered me, you can pick up aftermarket heat sinks for cheap from aliexpress lol. Quality is pretty decent and it looks a lot better now IMO.
@jp1011: Nah just satire, having bare PCB RAM run so well gives me a feeling of power. My build is pretty much based around function ver form, but tries to maintain a black theme where possible. The RAM has a black PCB.
I've purchased this kit on two separate occasions from Futu Online on eBay. First time (about 12 months ago) I got Samsung ram. Second time (about a month ago) I got Hynix, which had a later manufacturing date on the sticker. So I assume it's the luck of the draw?
I've all 4 sticks running in XMP mode now without any problems. Initially I was getting BSOD on boot, but I upped the voltage slightly (to 1.36 v from memory) and it's been stable since.
Probably CJR though, I doubt it's MFR.
@MisterTee: The stickers should have a string which isn't the serial number written on it. Making an educated guess I'd say that the last 3 characters are the important part, and it should be 2 digits and 1 letter. For my Samsung C-die it was 10C. C for C-die, and 10 for the manufacturing process (10nm). So with that you could probably differentiate different C-dies like Hynix's.
Edit: From looking at stickers of other DIMMs it seems the first 2 digits are the manufacturer and the last is the die. I believe that 10 indicates Samsung and 33 indicates Hynix.
Edit 2: This is all a theory, but adding to the theory… the first of the 3 is actually irrelevant. So 0 is Samsung and 3 is Hynix.
@MisterTee: Ehh could also be CJR, try using Thaiphoon Burner. As long as it doesn't read B-die it will tell you.
@Void: Well mine arrived today and that number ends in 10C so hopefully it's good. I don't have a motherboard yet to tell otherwise!
If anyone's looking back over this thread to compare, I received mine today, they're Hynix.
If it's CJR then that's a pretty decent one, usually OCs to 3600CL16.
Let me know if it's CJR if you're running it already. Mine arrive today but motherboard is next on my list so I can't fire it up to check.
The number in my sticks is 04266M8410C
I got K4A8G085WB-BCPB "low end B-die" is what I've discovered.
Just pulled one out to check and I have the same number.
@Afternoon Delight: Ah well, I'm not planning on OCing so I guess it won't matter much for me. Nice to know if it is capable though for future.
@jimmyack I’m waiting on a new motherboard to arrive, might see what I can get out of them, will report back with results.
What's the verdict on mixing ram? Could I chuck this in with my 32GB G Skill Trident Z Neo RAM?
In a general sense it's less than ideal. But in my experience its generally fine. As long as you run them at the looser timings of the two sets.
What exact model is your Trident Z Neo kit? i.e. is it something like this: F4-3200C16D-16GTZN
If you get the same IC it isn't as bad to mix, but sometimes you can still have issues.
Right so your existing kit is rated/tested to do 3000MHz @ 16-18-18-38
This Ripjaws kit is 3200mhz @ 16-18-18-38
You'd be fine running them together at 3000mhz 16-18-18-38 in my opinion, but it's never guaranteed.
Theres a good chance they are actually identical chips on the RAM sticks, so you may be able to run the 3000mhz sticks at 3200mhz. But you'd need to test that out first before adding the new set and trying to run them all at 3200mhz 16-18-18-38 there after. Nothing is guaranteed though.
What's the real life difference between CL14 and CL16 anyway? I know that's a very open question, but note: "real life". CL14 is out of my price range for 32GB, so I'm looking at CL16, but wondering about CL16 3600 rather than CL16 3200 to try offset the worse latency, etc. Is it really going to make much difference?
One PC will be for my son, for gaming (along with i5 10600KF and probably a 2080) and one for me (for dev, etc.) with an AMD 3900 (3950 if I go crazy).
In games - possibly 1 or 2 extra frames is my best guess. So basically nothing.
Heres a video of your exact question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv6XCkNFwzo
You can see that CL14 gets a couple extra frames. But it's not worth $100+ extra IMO.
More gains are had on Ryzen when you go for higher frequency (infinity fabric clocks higher), 3200 to 3600 at same CAS more like 3-4% so still negligible.
I found at 3600CL16 micro stutters seemed to disappear vs 3200, just feels a whole lot smoother. That's on ryzen
@4foxache: Eh I highly doubt that unless it just tipped you over the edge of frametime stability. I never had an issue with 3333CL16 which I ran before getting 3733CL18.
Thanks @Skramit and @Rajeh - that's what I was thinking, as well, and I'm not interested in overclocking: just need the computers to work reliably.
I'm looking to buy around Black Friday/Cyber Monday for my son's PC and mine around Christmas…
Aww how lame! You buy an Intel chip only to disappointingly not get it to 5GHz!
Ok then, how reliable would it be if overclocked to 5GHz? And life expectancy would be reduced, wouldn't it? Would be looking at a Noctua cooler (on both CPUs, actually)
@RichardMelbourne: If you cool it well (ofc Noctua will) and run it at safe voltages (generally below 1.35V) it will last you until it's not relevant anymore, never have I encountered a CPU which died from overclocking unless someone threw like 2V at it. These K chips were designed for it. To make sure it's reliable you just stress test it for maybe 6-12 hours with Prime95 AVX workloads to give you a little buffer for stability, should never encounter an issue in real worldloads.
@Void: Oh, I have to point out that my son's PC has to be 100% RGB lol (10 year old, so…): don't care about mine on the inside, but case better not having any RGB lighting…
This ram or what I've recently bought from amazon, Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB (16GB Kit) DDR4 3200mhz CL16 https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B083TRRT16/ref=ppx_yo_d…
Seems as tho the Crucial ram has wicked chips and can be OC'd very easily (paired with Ryzen 3600). For my new strictly gaming PC. Is 32GB worth it?
Yes Crucial use Micron's E-die, which is known for being easy on the IMC and can do fairly tight timings. 3600CL15 is a breeze on it. For strictly gaming 32GB is not worth it.
Currently I have 16GBx2, 3200MHz CL16 Corsair Vengeance RAM in my AMD X570 motherboard. So I am doubt if any problem when I buy this G.Skill RAM?
Best guess is it would work fine, but ensure the timings are set to the slow of the sets.
16GBx2, 3200MHz CL16 Corsair Vengeance
What exact timings are they rated for?
Thanks Skramit, I double checked my purchasing order, The model is CMK32GX4M2B3200C16, timing is 16-18-18-36.
So the same timings. So yeah fair chance they are identical chips underneath anyway.
Would the 3600 MHz CL16 version be worth the extra $30 - G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz CL16 DDR4 Desktop RAM Memory Kit?
Alternatively, how about a 2x16 GB 3200 MHZ CL16 for an extra $70 - G.Skill Aegis 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 Red DDR4 Desktop RAM Memory Kit
I have a Ryzen system (only using for gaming at 1080p with 60 fps expectation) - currently 1300x on an A320 motherboard (yeah terrible decision) and a 1050ti which I got 2+ years ago. Might upgrade to a Ryzen 5 3600 / wait for 4000 series and get a new GPU once next gen (Nvideia Ampere series or Ryzen RDNA2 series) is out. Really don't want to replace mobo yet as AM5 is going to be out after 4000 series I believe.
Would the 3600 MHz CL16 version be worth the extra $30
Maybeeeeee its probably much of a muchness. If you're an absolute "Frame Rate Snob" and need the max of the max of the max, then sure. But for $30 you might eek out a handful of extra frames at 3600mhz vs 3200mhz so IMO probably better to go with the nag for the buck 3200 option.
Having said that I have 3600mhz myself but I'm a geek and…. yeah.
Alternatively, how about a 2x16 GB 3200 MHZ CL16 for an extra $70
Same specs for $70 more - no thanks!
I have a Ryzen system
If you want to upgrade to 32GB go with the ripjaws from this deal and save your coin for a better CPU/MB/GPU in a few months.
Same specs for $70 more - no thanks!
Ah sorry, I was actually comparing the price point with the 2x8 GB model G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 DDR4 Desktop RAM Memory Kit.
In short, what I was comparing were the below:
16 GB 3200 MHz CL16 - G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz CL16 DDR4 Desktop RAM Memory Kit : $99
16 GB 3600 MHz CL16 - G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) 3600MHz CL16 DDR4 Desktop RAM Memory Kit : $129
32 GB 3200 MHzCL16 - G.Skill Aegis 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 Red DDR4 Desktop RAM Memory Kit : $169 - this is actually $10 cheaper than original deal posted
Which one would be the best bang for buck?
Which one would be the best bang for buck?
Didnt see they dropped the Red version! Go for that if you dont care what it looks like.
https://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/g.skill-aegis-32gb-2x…
Bargain!
@Skramit: Thanks, do you think 32 GB would become the norm in 1-2 years time? If it's going to take, say, 5 years for games to require 32 GB, might be worth buying DDR5 instead when the time comes and just save $$ with a 16GB for now?
@S2200: Yes. As weve seen through the years, games especially keep needing more and mopre VRAM and system RAM.
The recommended specs for Flight Sim 2020 (which interests me and about to be released) is now 32GB RAM.
16GB is honestly fine though for a little while if you're looking to save money. You can always chuck more RAM in down the track.
i've got high resolution… i thought it was a 2 for 1 couch deal when i saw the image before the title.
This will be fine for a B450 Mobo right? (haven't got the mobo yet)
Starting to get parts for a new PC and need at least 32GB ram. (I run multiple VM's)Yes it will work fine with an B450 motherboard.
1% surcharge for PayPal and credit card, but nil for zip pay… Weird
Also the Aegis may be $10 cheaper but shipping is more expensive at $11.30. Works out to be a total savings of $8.74 for Aegis vs. Ripjaws.
Is this good for MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi Motherboard with AMD Ryzen 9 3900X ?
ThanksYes perfect.
sorry for late reply and thanks !
For whatever reason I can't seem to find the RAM sku on the AMD list of Ryzen compatible RAM (https://www.amd.com/en/products/ryzen-compatible-memory/read…). Is this a non-issue or something that should be taken into account?
(I could also be blind…)
AMD don't test every SKU.
Ah makes sense, thanks mate!

cl16? where is the cl14
