Personally pulled the trigger for $207.82, by making use of the 10% cashback $30 cap offer from Zip Pay.
(I bought 2x $100 Amazon gift cards + $100 worth of other stuff)

The cheapest posted on OzBargain is $221.50
Camelx3 Australia has the cheapest at $221.38

Amazon: "Your account will only be charged when we ship the item."
Not much to lose when you can cancel up if you ever manage to find a better offer beforehand.

Important note for those who don't need the 64GB upgrade-ability in the future, the 2x8gb (16GB) model has gone down to $76.06 before, which may be more suitable for some people if it ever shows up again.

Edit 6/1: Available again $229.85 (Was $227.82) and expired since 20/12 12pm.

Edit 12/01/2021: Pre-orders open again at $227.94.

    I got this same deal earlier in the year, I received single rank DIMMs, if that's relevant to you.

    • vid_ghost on 19/12/2020 - 15:25

      so you want to run 4x16gb single rank?

    • Davesday on 19/12/2020 - 15:32

      I am on ITX motherboards with just two DIMM slots. Is 2x single rank better for my case or 2x double rank? I’m using the 2x 8GB version of this product (same speed and all). I am on Ryzen 5800x if that matters.

      • Mister Popo on 19/12/2020 - 15:37

        Dual rank is better, but I wouldn't split hairs over it.

        • Zeppelin on 19/12/2020 - 17:49

          My understanding is that a "rank" is accessible one at a time … so single rank is therefore better… source.
          But like you say, doubt any of it is realistically noticable outside of synthetic tests.

          • mackdiddy on 19/12/2020 - 18:28
            +1

            @Zeppelin: I think the newer Ryzen's fare better accessing 4 total ranks (so 2x dual or 4x single), but I could be wrong.

          • brosk1s on 20/12/2020 - 00:35
            +2

            @Zeppelin: Since Ryzen 3000, quad rank configurations (as in total ranks in both memory channels, e.g. 2x2 or 4x1) have shown up to a 10% FPS improvement like in this HardwareUnboxed comparison over dual rank configurations and I believe in a recent GamersNexus video this was true with Ryzen 5000 too.

            GN can explain exactly why that is far better than I can, but from what I've seen the latency and stability advantages of single rank RAM sticks that allow them to be ran at higher frequencies and tighter timings relative to dual-rank sticks, achieving higher performance as a result can be brute forced with 2 more memory ranks. Many of the 2xDR results aren't 10% better than 2xSR results though, definitely wouldn't lose sleep over it.

            • Zeppelin on 20/12/2020 - 02:10

              @brosk1s: Good info, cheers man.

            • nfr on 20/12/2020 - 11:00

              @brosk1s: So I guess on older Ryzens single ranks are still better for overlocking?

      • Starky on 19/12/2020 - 18:23
        +3

        Dual rank performs better in everything. Games like dual rank too.

  • jus0212 on 19/12/2020 - 15:40

    How do you make Zip 10% work with online order? I thought it only works with in store tap and go?

    • nfr on 19/12/2020 - 15:43

      He bought Amazon gift cards in store to pay for these.

      • jus0212 on 19/12/2020 - 15:54

        Right, make sense!

  • [Deactivated] on 19/12/2020 - 15:43

    this is some nice ram at 3600cl16, it will probably overclock well.

    • ATangk on 19/12/2020 - 16:23

      If its micron b die, which mackdiddy claims it to be, it might not overclock as well as micron e, but we dont know because its still relatively new.

      • mackdiddy on 19/12/2020 - 18:27

        I should have said in my post, mine were B-die. Code was M8FB1, as in 8 2GB chips per dimm, B-die. The other version is M16FE1, 16 1GB chips per dimm, E-die.

        • ATangk on 19/12/2020 - 19:08

          Uhh… e die is 8Gb, b die is 16Gb. But you still got single rank, so that’s all that matters.

  • ATangk on 19/12/2020 - 16:22

    White one is just a bit more expensive. :3

  • mavika on 19/12/2020 - 16:25

    Apparently these are hit or miss with whether they are dual rank or not. I’d rather not gamble and wait for the 2x16gb ones

    • BaeSuzy on 19/12/2020 - 16:27

      wait it is 2x16gb?

      • mavika on 19/12/2020 - 20:45

        Sorry I mean the 2x8gb

  • BaeSuzy on 19/12/2020 - 17:05

    i assume, that you can add as many amazon gift cards on a purchase? since you had two cards, you use two gifts card on one purchase?

    • ATangk on 19/12/2020 - 17:13

      they just add to your gift card balance 'wallet' so you can add as many as you want.

      • BaeSuzy on 19/12/2020 - 17:22

        nice!! ill buy cards tonight

  • Hellcrusher3304 on 19/12/2020 - 17:10

    Since this is sold by Amazon UK, what happens when I have to RMA? Do I need to post it to UK at my own cost?

    • ATangk on 19/12/2020 - 17:13

      They'll refund you the postage after it arrives i suppose

  • Mistredo on 19/12/2020 - 17:26

    When does this preorder arrives?

  • Austrian Oak on 19/12/2020 - 18:13

    Just note these may be Micron B die, not E-die.

    • bohn on 19/12/2020 - 18:38

      I wish there was an easy way to tell. Puts me off buying this.

    • justtoreply on 19/12/2020 - 19:12

      I thought that's what everyone wanted?! So confused.

      • badonde on 19/12/2020 - 20:29

        Micron E-Die, Samsung B-Die

        I know it's confusing!
        I got the 2x8gb (don't need more) for 76 bucks and it's great!

        Great advice not to split hairs, trying to optimize everything is a headache and makes 0 difference in what you actually see / experience

        • ATangk on 20/12/2020 - 00:41
          +1

          Well, theres also micron B die and Samsung A die which are replacing micron E and samsung B.

          To avoid confusion, its better to say rev B for micron and b die for samsung.

  • forged on 19/12/2020 - 19:56

    How do these compare to Samsung B-die with similar speed/timings?

  • bennobee on 19/12/2020 - 20:30

    This RAM kicks ass. I run it on my 5950 and have 64 gig of ram running no worries.

  • GafnYtHeLoRd on 19/12/2020 - 21:14

    Good kit to just chuck in and not worry further, even with a Ryzen system. I only wish the heat spreaders were a little shorter

  • BaeSuzy on 19/12/2020 - 23:27

    when do you tihnk this will be in stock at sent????
    really wanna buy for my itx build

  • fufufu on 20/12/2020 - 01:19

    Bought mine from previous AmazonUK deal and CPU-Z says they are dual rank. https://ibb.co/89nJ2N1

  • CoolColJ on 24/12/2020 - 03:09

    $230 now

    Wondering if I should return my Patriot Viper Steel 2x32gb 3600mhz cl18 kit at $340 for these at $460 total….

    • bohn on 24/12/2020 - 09:13
      +1

      I picked up Crucial Ballistix 3600 2x32GB for $438 the other day @ Amazon. It quickly went unavailable, but they come in now and then.

    • Outsider on 24/12/2020 - 20:17

      If you are into overclocking then yeah, 3600MTs Cl16's generally have a much better potential with overclocking so it "might" be worth the trouble of making that exchange.

      But just to let you know, I made the purchase on the 19th and I have not been given an ETA yet. So even if you do decide to make the exchange, it might be a long while before you get one.

      • CoolColJ on 25/12/2020 - 12:58

        been getting one stopmode BSOD a day recently, so I don't know if it's the ram or not, been trying everything….
        This Patriot ram won't even run at 3200mhtz CL16

        Have till Jan 31 before I have to return. I may just get a stop gap Crucial ballistix 3200mhz cl16 32gb kit to hold me over for another month….

        • Outsider on 25/12/2020 - 21:53

          Hmm… Yeah I guess if you are (more than likely?) getting screwed over by your current ram then exchanging is probably worth a shot.
          12% cashback capped at $25 tomorrow so I might cancel my sticks and order again just for the extra cashback.

            @Outsider: Got an email alert that the Crucial 3600 cl16 64Gb kit was available at $440, went to the link, all gone :?

            Anyway my ram is ok now, bumped the voltage to 1.4V and it's stable at Cl16-20-20-38
            At 1.42v stable at 16-19-19-38

            Same rating as the crucial kit, but a bit cheaper at $340 at time of purchase

  • CoolColJ on 28/12/2020 - 20:39

    Red version for $221 from Amazon US when it gets back in stock

    https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B083TRXZ9N/ref=ox_sc_ac…

    Can get two sets of the same memory for $497 shipped from Newegg

  • hamza23 on 06/01/2021 - 17:33

    Available again (thanks AUsedname)

    • Outsider on 06/01/2021 - 17:50

      Yep, I contacted Amazon AU with regards to this and everyone who made a pre-order should be getting theirs some time 20th of January, +/- a couple of days depending on where you are. Thanks for the post edit/update, have no idea how to do those.

      • CoolColJ on 15/01/2021 - 01:29

        got an email from Amazon that it was available yesterday, ordered the last one, and shipped today!

        • Outsider on 15/01/2021 - 12:08

          Nice! I guess Amazon AU via UK's shipping has sped up for some reason, -I got my package around a week before the originally proposed date.

          • CoolColJ on 21/01/2021 - 17:04

            @Outsider: got my ram yesterday. That was quick

            This kit seems more stable than the Patriot Viper Steel kit.
            In that I was able to run it at CR of 1T, at XMP timings with 1.35v

            had to turn on gear down mode or use 2T on all my Patriot Viper steel kits

          • CoolColJ on 23/01/2021 - 02:04

            @Outsider: ram is crazy good —

            Running at 3800mhz, cl16-18-18-18-38, manually entered XMP values including Tfaw TRFC etc, at 1.4v
            1900 infinity fabric
            Command rate 1T

            66ns latency on my Ryzen 3800x, MSi x570 Tomahawk

            :0

            Will probably hit 4000mhz for a Ryzen 5000 series later on
