Original Price @ Newegg was $241, which dropped to 210 ($31 savings)+ Shipping was $30.9 (Now Free) = $61.90 savings.
Cheapest price on staticice for the same product is $239 from IJK Enfield + 12$ shipping to Melbourne CBD = $251. @ http://ijk.com.au/branch/ijk/product_info.php?products_id=15…
Cheapest price on Amazon Australia is $290.99 delivered, with Amazon US coming to $249.67.
UPDATE: price dropped from $210 to $190 since deal was posted.
hopefully the class action lawsuit will change things soon
I must of missed this in the paper anymore info on lawsuit?
Yeah I was just gonna say it's crazy.
msrp for this ram is around $170. Now that its dropped even further to $190 it seems like a decent price.
Meh C15 timings
and only 2400MHz @ that.
Haha listen to you guys. I am still stuck using DDR3 1600mhz ;(
same, and will be for a while to come
Ram speed isn't necessarily critical to the overall performance of the system, but given the astronomical asking price you'd think they'd at least offer faster modules.

Interesting article. So RAM speed can make a difference when gaming on Ryzen, but not by very much. Only about 5% performance boost in CPU bottlenecked games going from 2133 to 3200 mhz.
Interesting! However I note they used a previous generation Ryzen 1700 for the test. I wonder if the results hold true still for the second generation Ryzens
how i'd love to have 3200mhz at c14
That's what I use:

Managed to pickup for $450 before the price hike.
Thats some nice b die ram, not that it matters anymore with the new update.
@poporange630: With a ryzen 5 2600, my 3200 C16 which is not bdie can actually run 3200 so it seems that the issue has been solved.
Hi popat, which motherboard are you running? I only just bought the processor so need to know what motherboard and ram to get with it
there are G skill Flare X at MSY eBay. Will be discounted tomorrow.
Speed > timings
As speed increases latency timings increase slightly.
I’ve been waiting for these to go on sale - just ordered, thanks OP!
Bought 16gb (2x8GB) DDR4-2133 For $199 today, this post is a good deal on newEgg for $11 extra getting DDR4-2400. Did not post my deal because it was limited qty sale.
Bought Corsair vengeance Red led ddr4 3000 16gb kit for A$179 on amazon Au couple of weeks ago, didn’t posted it because only 2 were left and I bought both of them. Must be a price error but amazon posted it.
Bought a used DDR3 2x8GB 2400 for $110 last week on eBay. They are running well ATM. I am going do some test next week. :)
Ddr3 goes to 2400??! I thought they topped out at 2133. I wonder why we even moved to ddr4 when the prices are this high. And there talk now of stupid ddr5
I've got DDR3 2400s overclocked to something silly like 3133.
And it only cost me $80'ish for 8GB if I remember! hahaha

You'd want to have a decent motherboard to ensure compatibility at the higher speeds.
low in stock, plus 12$ delivery
That's $45 that can buy grocery or go into a graphics card instead of useless ram speed. So much easier with original ddr1. Just go the cheapest ram and as much gb as you can afford
Honestly, if you're buying a new system it's often worth it based on the numbers unless you're on a really tight budget (but then you probably wouldn't be looking at 16GB with today's prices anyway).
~8% performance bump in Witcher 3 going from 2400 to 3000 (with unspecified latency), https://www.eteknix.com/memory-speed-large-impact-ryzen-perf…
~10% performance bump in Far Cry 5 going from 2400/C16 to 3000/C16 http://www.legitreviews.com/ddr4-memory-scaling-performance-…
If you go even faster it'll show on that kind of game (open world, or open world/ish/): https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fi&tl=en&u=https%3…
Its actually a 7.3% performance bump in Far Cry 5 going from 2400/C16 to 3000/C16 from the link that you have provided, not 10%.
@pvsk: Ah my bad, apparently I've been looking at too many GamersNexus charts lately where the 3 bars aren't min/avg/max. Thanks for pointing that out!
meanwhile, i still need 2 x 8gb DDR3 to upgrade mine.
DDR4 and 2400? :/
I got DDR3 and 2400.
How do you tell if ram is for laptop or desktop?
Desktop ram is longer, laptop ram is shorter.
Easiest way is to look for 'SO-DIMM' in the model name, DIMM is what standard desktop RAM are called and SO-DIMM are what laptop ram modules are called.
With DDR4, DIMM modules have 288pins and SO-DIMM has 260pins - so if you ever see 260 pin in the specs - then you know it's for a laptop. If you see 288 pin - then it's for a desktop.
Found a 2400mhz DDR4 8gb for $88aud if you apply all the coupons on AliExpress if anyone's interested -https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32844133851.html? . From my research RAM is one of those things brand shouldn't matter unless it's some chinese scam but from the reviews I read this RAM isn't one of them. I'm sure you could get it cheaper if you used some price tracker like allprices.
RAM is one of those things brand shouldn't matter
rofl
Where/whenever there's a $ to be made, they'll be some prick looking to screw people over.
Anyone tell me other than the $7 in savings (and brand?), why you'd get this set over this:

GeIL EVO SPEAR 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 CAS 16 timings though.
(Edit: Also, I know it says "price excludes GST" but it's shipped from US, and buying now, there's no GST yet, right?)
shipping is $30.90
Oh fudge. Completely forgot about that. (I'm specc'ing up a whole set up so wasn't looking at shipping). Thanks.
Price needs to drop another $50 to be worth it.
just dropped by another $20
Not bad for those who are picking up those cheap Ryzen CPUs
Beware purchasing from NewEgg, if it is faulty you'll spend literally hours on an online chat trying to get them to do the right thing as required by law and replace it with them trying to convince you that their "15 day International Warranty" is all they have to follow.
My order showed $190
Edited: it shows $190 for me as well. Price seems to have dropped another $20.
Thanks for the update mate, was initially eyeing 3000MHz 16GB but this was a great deal for under 200 that I couldn't pass up!
I ordered at $210, talked to customer service and got the $20 difference refunded.
Guys - don't forget cashrewards 1% cashback! (I forgot lol)

$190 - $1.90 = $188.10 delivered.
I got my 2400mhz 16gb kit for $89@PLE in 2016. Feels great
God damn.
feels bad for anyone looking to build a new system for the past year :(
Daym! RAM prices are still sky high.
