Was browsing for some memory came across this seems to be the cheapest 3600 MHz memory I could find locally.
Delivery to 2000 + 1% fee comes to a total of $100.19
Seems to be a better deal than the Crucial Ballistix if you don't like the colour or wait for several weeks.
RAM Clock Speed：
3600MHz
CL Timing：
CL18-22-22-42
Voltage：
1.35V
Memory Type：
DDR4
Capacity：
16GB
Yes, anything with sub-timings like 20 or 22-22 is generally a hynix IC (bad one at that)
Its fine for the higher densities (32GB modules) but for the 8gig modules there's more to choose from if you care about performance.
performance for RAM ?…. unlikely it's noticeable
@BargainKen: like when you play game you want to see the FPS status and other info on the screen ? …are you play game or reading dashboard… and mention CL18 for game ?(refer to competitiveness)
I've only seen Hynix CJR and Samsung C-die in these kits. Not sure about DJR, it isn't very common.
DJR is much better than what this crap is. No offence.
CJR/DJR can do at least 3600 16-19-19-39, this kit is more than likely Hynix JJR/ Samsung C-Die.
Very decent chance it won't do any higher/tighter than 3600c18, which is basically the glorified version of 3200c16, but due to high tRCD/tRP, it would most likely have worse latency, with not much higher bandwidth.
What you get on your sticks varies quite a bit with this kit based on my prior research + personal experience. I personally got (crap low-binned) B-die when I bought this kit ~2 months ago. https://i.imgur.com/Z0fIxLq.png
What program is this?
🎵 That isn't B-die 🎵
🎵 It's probably C-die 🎵
A more informative reply would've been vastly preferred, but it appears you're probably right, as the sticker code ends in 10C. I had no idea that Thaiphoon Burner (even the current version) ever misreported. Thanks for the correction at least.
What's with all the RAM deals lately? (or has someone already asked?)
RAM is perpetually on sale. Capacity and performance continually increase while prices continually decrease so the OZB feed is polluted with RAM deals every single day…
There are a lot of tech news reports out about an over supply of RAM and SSD in the market.
e.g.
https://www.slashgear.com/ssd-and-ram-prices-to-drop-because…
Yep, flash memory prices are dipping because of oversupply following the initial COVID scare
What's the difference between this RAM and this Corsair Vengeance LPX? I'm in the process of building using AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, does that affect which RAM I should be purchasing?
This ram operates with 12% more clock cycles, but spends more clock cycles doing the things the LPX does.
3200Mhz CL16-18-18-36
3600Mhz CL18-22-22-42
They're roughly the same as a result, get the cheapest one.
Okay great! I'll go with the LPX then since it's $89 delivered. Thanks very much!
see my comment, get the 3600
I was wondering similar and watching this youtube video comparing 3200Mhz C16 vs 3600Mhz C18 and gave the slight edge to the 3600 C18 kit (not by much mind you)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnRVEgCZJ7c
I ended up going with the 3600 C18 kit since it was only marginally dearer.
Not correct. For Ryzen, where first word time is roughly equal you should choose the higher memory clock speed for improved fabric clock speed.
So should I upgrade from 3200 to 3600.
Please include the timings and other specs in the description: CL18-22-22-42, 1.35V. Saying it's 3600Mhz doesn't mean a great deal on its own.
Thanks updated
Hynix DJR?
