i would rather spend a bit extra elsewhere than shop at u-mart or any of the companies they own!
Been out of the loop for a while.
Have they gotten worse in recent years?
Guy returned 32GB's DDR5 6000 ram to UMART under warranty. 1 of the sticks was broken. They sent it back to the supplier for warranty. and UMART said they would refunded $150 purchase price to buyer. Buyer requested they give back the faulty ram as one of the sticks still works. Umart said we dont have the ram anymore.
The buyer would need to spend more then $150 to buy a new single stick of 16Gb's DDR5 6000 just to get a working PC again. Not giving him an option was the issue.
should boycott them. should been considerate under current ram price condition.
@wassabi: Hardware unboxed you tube channel reported on this extensively and it probably cost umart bigtime in negative advertisement.. The negative press cost to their business far exceeded the $600 for replacement of the 32GB DDR5 ram to the buyer. No need to boycott them.. they would of been hit hard already
@vid_ghost: i am sure you work for Umart. why dont need to boycott them? you vote with you wallet not complaints. is the only languages they understand.
I would be disappointed too but it sounds like the merchant did everything the Australian Consumer Law requires and the only part that's unusual is that the price of RAM is out of control?
the cheaper the motherboard the more money you have for ram :D
The data centre bubble is starting to pop.
I think RAM prices will start coming back to earth.
starting to pop… IT needs to pop for real before thats going to happen
it will never be the same price, it will drop but you pay at least 1x more on pre price increase. now is 3x.
At some point given enough time when DDR6 and DDR7 come out DDR5 will be as cheap as DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3 is today as its use case will be at End of life.
This or the MSI B650M Gaming Plus WIFI for $189?
As you can see the Gigabyte B850M is newer and cheaper and will also be better for when Zen6 and Zen7 come out. If they end up using much faster DDR5.
Zen4 and Zen5 are using the same memory controller thats maxing out at around 6000MT/s … Zen6 is supposed to come with an all new (dual) memory controller that will go further then 6000MT/s maybe even 8000MT/sGigabyte B850M Force WIFI6E $161

As the budget is constrained for this particular build, I'll go with the MSI. Better VRMs and more USB ports on the I/O shield.
build 3 office PC's with the MSI B650M Gaming Plus .. its pretty good.. very heavy :) lots of aluminum heat sinks
pcbyte is now also part of Umart wow.. i have this board.. the side covering the IO is plastic. Not a heatsink.. there is a small heatsink under the plastic similar to the MSI msi b650 bomber..
Board works fine and the ram apparently can get to 9600MTs :)
