Cheapest it's been according to 3camels.
Sold by Amazon AU and free shipping.
I just bought it because it'd be easy to return too if I find a better price during Clickfrenzy or Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales (all within the month).
Sorry, but no RGB.
CamelCamelCamel.
Help us, NostraDIMMus…
Looooool
Yes I know it's impossible to tell the future, but not sure what all time low has been etc, can't find any deals for it on the site.
Do you really need 64gb?
What do u mean? How else is someone gonna be able to open 5 tabs of chrome if not 64 gigs?
For my partner's portable 3D rendering rig who likes to keep multiple programs and tabs open, so it'd be good to have the leeway.
Would want it to safely have enough to have say, Premiere Pro, Blender, and Chrome with 25 tabs open all at once. As a conservative estimate.
Feel like 32gb might not be enough for that, but not sure.
I've been considering it for Cities: Skylines… Mods take a lot of ram, but for now I'm surviving with a massive pagefile.
I paid $320 for it a few weeks ago. There’s also some cheaper kits around with slightly more lax timings if you don’t mind the performance hit
Thanks so much! Might wait it out then!
A bit of a C18 there don'tcha think
c16 at 3600 mhz is much more expensive. this is not that bad
Would these be dual rank?
Very unlikely. Most likely micron 16gbit Rev B (i.e. 1 rank of 16gbit instead of 2 x 8).
32 gigs… Sweet as! Might be able to watch Kayo for 4-5 hours before it shits itself…
I'm currently using 16gb 3200mhz for my B550M-plus, ryzen 5 3600, RX 5600 XT built and it works perfectly in 2022.
Would I see any benefits from these 32gb modules?
It will just let you do more at once, assuming your other components arent being maxed out already in your use case
Only for the capacity if you like keeping like 20 tabs of chrome open while gaming or something
The speed wont do much with that gpu. Memory speed helps CPU bottlenecks because the faster your memory, the less time the cpu spends sitting around waiting to access data in memory.
If your CPU already has to wait around because your GPU's the slow one, it's not gonna help.
That computer is super fast even for high intensity gaming on ultra settings - heck, even my 2018 macbook pro is still super quick.
It's not about how super fast your system is or not, it's about the balance.
Your system is comparatively light on GPU power because a 3600 is pretty good.
For gaming, unless it's something like factorio, you probably wont see any significant improvement upgrading RAM or CPU no matter how ham you go, but if you upgrade the GPU to something like a 6700XT or 3070, you'll see most of the benefit of that GPU in most games at 1440p.
And then with that GPU, you might start seeing a change with better RAM or CPU combinations.
It's a headache if you mix your 3200 with 3600. BSOD, unable to boot, XMP disabled, you name it.
Depends what you do, if it's just gaming and general usage no it won't make any difference to you.
You'd see better improvement putting it towards upgrading your cpu and even then it might not be worth it depending on what resolution you game at.
The only time I've seen my 16gb reach 90%+ usage is when I have 2 games open(destiny2 + genshin) as well as 2 browsers open with 20tabs each on them, with 1 game mem usage is always around 60-70% for me.
If you do content creation then 32gb will help for sure
32gb doesn't really mean anything other than open more things at once. What u want to look at is the CAS latency (cl) and the speed which is 3600mhz, generally 3600mhz is just a little bit faster than 3200mhz, maybe at most it would give u 10 extra fps or around that range.
What u really want to care about is the CL, ill assume ur 3200mhz are running at a latency of 16, and so generally 16 has much better 1% and 0.1% lows (doesnt lag as often as cl18)
WHEN WILL THERE BE WHITE RGB GRRRR
Hodl and wait for back Friday ?
If you can yes. More selection, more.competition from retailers vying for your dollars so I expect Solid prices
Any DDR5 deals?
I'm happy that Ram is affordable again. If only Nvidia graphics cards would start dropping in price. I remember the glorious years 2000 to ~2010 when computer prices deflated while performance greatly increased. The Intel Core Duo CPU was the last massive CPU performance spike. After that, GPUs kept on increasing in power but they kept on increasing in price too.
EDIT: The Ram is showing up on Amazon at $176 now.
The last good gen for GPUs in australia was the 900 series because the AUD's value was sky high back then and the 970 was a value juggernaut.
The 10 series was nearly as good in USD. most cards were nearly double the speed of their 900 series counterpart and only a bit more expensive, but we didn't see any of that because our dollar went down again which made it feel like nvidia raised the prices by 30% on everything.
Then they actually raised the prices by 30% on everything with the 20 series.
I remember those days.
PC gaming was not only cheaper long term, since the game prices in sales were many times better than consoles, but actually cheaper hardware too. A console crushing PC was as little as $500.
Last 3 years with the great GPU crisis, that doesn't even cover the video card. Still not all the way back down back to normal prices yet…
That was before AMD turned to shit for nearly a decade until Ryzen days.
Back then Intel was shit with their Pentium 4 / D and we had good contender from AMD K7/K8, until Intel Core came around to hold the crown uncontested for a decade.
As for GPU, yeah 8800GTX was too legendary to do anything more to compete even for next gen.
missed out because i was too slow. hopefully black friday will have similar/better deals.
Do people think the 64gb version of this kit might discount much for black friday? Or is $360 alright?
