even though the title says 2x24gb it seems to be a typo as the original US link shows 96gb and all other references say 2x48gb too https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D27ZQS46
CamelCamelCamel.
Use the Amazon au link
Thx
works fine for me.. NOT that i would buy this
Great for an intel workstation system that requires 96GB of ram but not great for anything else or an AMD system due to slow ram speed and possible incompatibility / stability issues
Would this work well for a homelab?
I'm looking to build a headless one to run ProxMox, various containers including Plex and Sonarr/NZBGet, Blue Iris.
I'll be using an Intel CPU and the system isn't mission critical.
Would this deal be suitable for my use case?
Wouldn't it work for AMD as well? 5200Mhz is the spec speed for Ryzen 7XXX.
Depends on the board and the BIOS. When I first had my AM5 system, it was unstable with Samsung die based RAM modules and that was despite updating the BIOS through BIOS flashback with a BIOS which has a release note of "improved Samsung DDR5 RAM compatibility".
The main issue with slower RAM is there is more memory lottery. I had to return that Corsair memory kit quickly (to get a refund) so I don't know if the situation has improved with the newer BIOS versions. Also, I found AM5 more annoying to test. The Samsung kit would pass MemTest86+ with zero issue, but still blue screen in Windows. Also, it has cold boot issues. I was lucky I bought the RAM modules from Amazon AU. If I bought that kit from local retailer and they tested the kit with an Intel board, I reckon it won't have any issue.
Hmm… Did not know that AM5 is particularly picky, 5200 is clearly a JEDEC speed.
Thanks!
@MrPapers: Well, at that time, for me, to get stability, I was only able to run 1 DIMM of Samsung die based DDR5 RAM module. With 2 DIMMs, once I turned the PC off, the next day, there is only 20% chance the PC will boot. I had to remove 1 DIMM, let it boot, then put the next one in. That's not how I expect AM5 to work. Another thing was I have never had a PC froze inside BIOS setup screens before. With incompatible DDR5 on AM5, I had quite a few.
Therefore, later on, I was not surprised that for AM5 BIOS upgrades, my motherboard requires me to drop RAM speed to JEDEC speed, do the BIOS upgrade, then switch back to EXPO (and XMP).
@netsurfer: You sound knowledgeable. How can one reliably find the die vendor when the memory module is by someone like Corsair who doesn't manufacture silicon themselves?
I am actually contemplating purchasing this memory for A620 board and run it at 5200Mhz as prescribed, would you foresee any difficulties with such combination?
@MrPapers: I am not sure I can provide an objective opinion on AM5 because I only have limited experience on it. My recommendation is stick with SK Hynix die based kit for now. SK Hynix A-die or M-die (be aware that there is also Micron A-die, which is different). Check the motherboard memory QVL (which generally lists the memory die type).
AMD has released a number of AGESA updates since I last tried out Samsung die based DDR5 kit so I don't rule out the issue is now resolved. My rough check on a motherboard's memory QVL (that QVL doesn't have the 96GB kit, but did show 32GB kit data) indicates it is a Samsung die based kit. You know from my past experience, I cannot recommend Samsung die based DDR5 for AM5.
Amazon US via AU is different to Amazon AU direct. You have to prove the item is faulty AND you do have to post it back via DHL or Fedex (forgot which one). Using RAM "incompatibility" as reason for return may get interpreted as RAM modules are not faulty, but not working right with your other devices. That could result in you paying for return postage to Amazon US. I bought mine from Amazon AU direct, no such issue, easy return.
Thanks OP, my kids would not fight anymore. I can now play Cocomelon and Teacher Rachel simultaneously.
:) chrome tab issue fixed.
