My 300th post :) Huge price drop of 20 euros today making this only ~$39 per DDR4 2133MHz stick. Local stock sells for over $300 with shipping factored in according to staticice..

A google search of the model also shows that it's CL15 (matching the description), not CL16 as claimed in the title.

Vat is removed at checkout, bringing the final price down to 105 euros which is around $156 delivered, enjoy :)

    Well done on 300 posts lyl :)

    • GDavid on 28/03/2016 - 19:09

      Agreed, well done.

      I bought exactly the same kit from newegg (255AUD delivered in Aug2015) and can confirm it has behaved very well.
      Good price for 32G kit and works adequately…

          I too would jump on a 32GB DDR3 deal. Bonus for me is I then get to sell my 16GB set making it more affordable :)

          $180 though (that other deal), I think we can do better… :P

    Hi
    What's the diff between ddr3 and ddr4?
    What determines which is used ?

    • McFly on 28/03/2016 - 13:34

      Bottom line is your motherboard has to support it (DDR4 is typically for Skylake.)

    • Nero on 28/03/2016 - 13:37
      +1

      Ddr3 is older technology with ddr4 becoming the new mainstream. It depends on what your motherboard supports. You should check the manual for which type to use.

      To put it broadly, ddr3 is used with Haswell and older generations of Intel CPUs and ddr4 is used with Skylake CPUs. I'm not too sure on the AMD side though.

      • hollykryten on 28/03/2016 - 14:22

        AMD AM3+ CPUs and motherboards still uses DDR3 ram.

    Eg series 6 CPU's? I have 2 laptops with 4gb ram ddr3 i5 6700. So this would upgrade ram to 16gb ddr4?

  • Dr PhilGood on 28/03/2016 - 14:15

    Good deal,but 32gb is overkill for most people. I'd recommend getting 8 or 16gb of the higher speed ram (for gaming).

    • hollykryten on 28/03/2016 - 14:20

      I'd get 16GB CL13 2133mhz DDR4 ram. This CL16 RAM in this deal would be so slow in comparison. Also the OP has made a mistake in the title. Amazon says CL16 RAM but OP has put CL15 in the title.

      • lyl on 28/03/2016 - 14:25

        A google search of the model also shows that it's CL15 (matching the description), not CL16 as claimed in the title.

        Amazon title says CL16 but Amazon description says CL15, so I googled the model number and every other source confirms that it's CL15.

          OK then apologies it seems that Amazon Germany is wrong in the title.

  • hollykryten on 28/03/2016 - 14:18

    This is only slow CL16 DDR4 ram which would be considerably slower than proper CL13 DDR4 ram (such as the Corsair Vengeance LPX 2133mhz CL13). I wouldn't put this ram in nothing but a cheap system. Don't expect performance out of it. Still cheap though.

    But the likes of around $221 can get you 32GB worth of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000mhz CL15 ram from Amazon if you buy two of these kits if you've got 4 DIMM slots on the motherboard. Where you deem the extra $65 for superior DDR4 ram or not if up to you. It's either the deal in this thread for lower end systems or this Corsair deal from Amazon for higher end systems for $65 more. Take your pick.

      On the other hand this slow RAM is considerably cheaper: $39 vs $65 per stick. Will one notice the difference between CL13 & CL15 in normal usage? I don't know.

      • hollykryten on 28/03/2016 - 14:37
        +4

        Latency plays a very big part in RAM performance even more than the mhz speed. A CL13 will beat a CL16 ram or even a CL15 any day. Latency is how fast or slow data can be retrieved from the memory. The lower the latency the quicker that data can be read means lower latency the better. Means a snappier system with a lower latency ram. That's why you always find higher end RAM always has a lower latency. This in the deal is just low end 2133mhz DDR4 RAM sticks and hence the lower price.

        • alvian on 28/03/2016 - 14:45
          +10

          Of course CL13 is faster than CL15 (or CL16), but will one notice the difference outside of benchmarking tests? For example, this test measured a 1% boost in performance between CL12 and CL15, using 2x8GB 2133MHz DDR4 with Skylake.

          @alvian:

          Sure, you probably won't notice the difference in everyday usage, but gaming is another matter. The tables in that article show a pretty significant fps difference between ram speeds (in certain games).

          @alvian:

          Here are another bunch of tests which show very little difference:

          http://www.anandtech.com/show/7364/memory-scaling-on-haswell…

          This test IMO is better because they adjust both the CL and frequency independently and you can see that when gmaing with a dedicated GPU neither value makes much of a difference.

          Keep in mind this is playing at a resolution of 1360*768 which is where you'd see the MOST difference. Bump it up to 1440p/4xMSAA and you'd be lucky to see a 1% improvement with faster ram.

          An extra $100 for the 3000mhz ram will grow your e-peen but you won't see a difference in gaming - much better off putting it towards a better GPU.

          @Dr PhilGood: They are talking about CL timings, as far as I know CL timings don't make a significant impact on games. Clock speed is what can make a difference, although if you are overclocking having low timings generally means they'll overclock well once you loosen them.

        • static on 28/03/2016 - 17:20
          +4

          An extra $65 can get you from a standard intel chip to a K version which would be a much bigger upgrade than an increase in RAM speed or latency.

          The biggest bottleneck for RAM is capacity as even the slowest DDR4 memory can keep up with current components available. If you look at the benchmarks on Tomshardware, while there is a difference in synthetic tests, there is almost no difference between memory benched at different speeds and latency's in their real world benchmarks. This means that at this point, even at it's slowest DDR4 isn't a bottleneck for an overclocked Skylake system. Once you get 32GB you should look to spend your money on other components before spending more on RAM.

          @bentan77:

          wow. It just shows how much the memory clock makes a difference in most cases.
          The 2500k OC still holds its own, but it seems like it's slowly on its way out.
          Thanks for that.

          @jzdhgkd:

          That review didn't use games where the CPU is often the bottleneck - Fallout 4, Witcher 3 and Crysis 3 all have areas where GPU usage and framerates drop significantly. This is where faster RAM makes a big difference.

        • thepigs on 29/03/2016 - 10:37

          What? Latency is reduced by higher Mhz….

        • hollykryten on 29/03/2016 - 10:38

          @thepigs:

          I'm pretty sure it's the opposite. Latency is increased with higher Mhz. For example old DDR2 800Mhz ram used to be CL5 or CL6 latency. Then came DDR3 ram with higher Mhz which brought about an increase in latency at CL9+. Now you've got DDR4 ram at an even higher Mhz which brings about a higher latency at CL13+ but most are around CL15.

        • thepigs on 29/03/2016 - 10:42

          @hollykryten:

          well… it's complicated. http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory-performance-speed-laten…
          Really, we care about the 'true latency' (measured in nanoseconds), rather than CAS latency (measured in cycles).
          Faster memory will burst the data faster than slower memory as well…

  • Huntz on 28/03/2016 - 15:52
