Not exactly hot prices as overall RAM prices are still high due to price fixing by manufacturers, but seems like they are the current cheapest options for the speed and specifications (so this is more for those who desperately need RAM for a build).

Do note the DRAM prices are expected to fall ~5% by the end of the year, for those not needing to buy now.

The 3000 MHz (PC4 24000) all share the same pricing, $191.40 (incl GST and Newegg's World Saver delivery), and the timings:
Team T-Force DARK Red colour, model TDRED416G3000HC16CDC01
https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313793

Timing 16-18-18-38
CAS Latency 16

GeIL EVO Spear, model number GSB416GB3000C16ADC:
https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820158528
GeIL EVO POTENZA, model number GPB416GB3000C16ADC:
https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820158543
(For those that prefer local AU stock, you can get the GeIL EVO POTENZA from MSY eBay, https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/132806458002, at $194 delivered using the PUMPKIN coupon code posted by tightarse on Monday 8 Oct 2018 between 10AM to 11:59PM.)
The two GeIL have the same timings of:

Timing 16-18-18-36
CAS Latency 16

The above prices have expired, and the current lowest price 3000 MHz kit is instead:

G.SKILL Aegis F4-3000C16D-16GISB, $193.60 (after GST/import tax)
https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N…

Timing 16-18-18-38
CAS Latency 16

G.SKILL Ripjaws V F4-3000C15D-16GVGB, better timings than the Aegis, $193.60 (after import tax)
Grey: https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N…
Black: https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N…

Timing 15-16-16-35
CAS Latency 15

The 3600 MHz (PC4 28800) kit is the G.Skill Ripjaws V, $227.70, model number F4-3600C19D-16GVRB, with the following timings:
https://www.newegg.com/global/au/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N…

Timing 19-20-20-40

    That's great for the 3600, I paid about that for a 3466 kit last year.

    You could probably get decent timings by dropping it to 3200. Not sure about which die version the Ripjaws are though if using for Ryzen. Also, just be aware that if using with a top-mounted radiator, you may need to remove the RAM heat spreaders for clearance - I had to do this with my H105 cooler :)

    • Diji1 on 05/10/2018 - 06:58

      Why would you buy RAM to underclock it though?

      • Mister Plod on 05/10/2018 - 07:55
        +5

        Speed isn't everything, latency is just as important - balancing them for stability is ideal; at least for Ryzen, which doesn't always play nice with fast ram.

        In my own testing, I can't run my ram (samsung b-die) at the stock 3466Mhz regardless of timings as it just crashes, despite passing memtest. By lowering it to 3200Mhz 14-15-15-30, it's been running stable for months.

        I'm not too sure, but I don't think Intel's platform works the same way. So higher ram clock speeds might be better for their CPU's.

        • Diji1 on 05/10/2018 - 08:27
          +1

          I dunno, I've always thought higher speed was most important with latency second ie. running faster at higher latency is better.

          I think you need to return the RAM because the XMP settings are supposed to be what you're buying without touching anything.

            @Diji1:

            I think you need to return the RAM because the XMP settings are supposed to be what you're buying without touching anything.

            XMP is still an overclock though, and it's also board dependant, unless it's also on the QVL list, you may have a tough time proving it's defective memory for a return.

          • thearbiter117 on 05/10/2018 - 14:56

            @Diji1: Perhaps it used to be like that for mhz>latency at all costs, but everything i have heard for the last while is about trying to get a good balance, because the overall "speed" is some calculation that involves the mhz and latency. Basically trying to get the mhz as high as you can without completely sabotaging latency. Or buying a good speed kit such as one of these, but then trying to tune your timings down as much as possible.

  • konichiwa on 05/10/2018 - 00:46

    Not bad, I picked up 16GB 3000MHz RGB by Corsair a few weeks ago for $200 on Newegg. This deal seems similar minus the RGB.

  • CarbonTwelve on 05/10/2018 - 08:34

    Anyone know what delivery times are like from Newegg?

    • zrmx on 05/10/2018 - 11:52

      Newegg states an estimate of 4-7 Business Days. Although I don't have any real world data on that.

    RAM prices are still high due to price fixing by manufacturers

    Evidence of this?

    • majik on 05/10/2018 - 09:20

      Gamers Nexus discusses it in his new video. They're ramping down their ram production on purpose to drive prices up/keep prices up high.

  • sane on 05/10/2018 - 09:11

    Worth noting that memory like this, that is coming via the US, is going to be hit by 10% and then 25% tariffs from the orange buffoon; if it originally comes from China.

    Therefore if you were holding off in hopes of lower prices - you might be best to jump soon, or see $20 and then $50 price hikes.

      • tomochin1991 on 05/10/2018 - 10:11
        +1

        A lot of these companies are Taiwan companies but the issue is they don't make their stuff in Taiwan. Most of these rams and GPU are all made in china which then gets shipped out to other countries.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2018 - 10:25
          +2

          This is indeed true, but a lot of ram (if not most) are still made in Taiwan. SSDs on the other hand have been shifted to be made in China since a couple years ago.

    • scrimshaw on 05/10/2018 - 14:21

      Had to read GamersNExus to see what's going on. https://www.gamersnexus.net/industry/3368-manufacturers-on-t…

      But what about Aussie sellers like MSY? Won't these sellers generally get their stock shipped from China, as opposed to the USA?

      If so, would the tariff impact the prices of goods that are not coming from the USA?

      • sane on 05/10/2018 - 16:26
        -1

        If the stock comes directly from China, then all should be well. It's more that the good deals on things like memory seem to be via buying from the US.

        On the bright side, as trump's policies crater the US economy, the US dollar will fall, the Aussie dollar effectively rise, and the prices we pay rebalance a bit more towards sanity.

    Any advise on new Ryzen chips optimal RAM options based on benchmarks on CAS and RAM speed?

  • Zanadar on 05/10/2018 - 10:08

    Personally I would never buy RAM from overseas unless it cost far less than 50% of what it does here.
    I have had too many DOA/flakey chips over the years, and yes I use static precautions.

    Recently went from DDR3 to DDR4. Made a huge difference. I would almost advise doing this first before buying a new graphics card.

    • project larx on 05/10/2018 - 11:59

      Do you need a different motherboard for DDR4 is I have DDR3 right now?

      • Forskin on 05/10/2018 - 12:12

        Yes you do

    • SickDmith on 05/10/2018 - 12:50

      With the same CPU?

    • Kangal on 05/10/2018 - 14:37

      Nope.
      A high-end DDR3 module (eg 2133MHz) is very comparable to a mid-range DDR4 module (eg 2800MHz), in most practical benchmarks/very little discernable in real world testing.

      But if you're comparing a mid-range or even low-end DDR3 module (eg 1300MHz) to a high-end DDR4 module (eg 3200MHz)…then yeah obviously your going to notice a difference. But you're comparing a 10+ year old module to a <2 year old module, so it's hardly fair. Infact, if you compared other components in the same time periods you would see identical performance gains, and sometimes even more.

      But the biggest gains are made by:
      - firstly going from HDD -> Sata SSD.
      - secondly going Intel iGPU -> GTX 750Ti.
      - thirdly going from 3GHz 4c/4t CPU -> 4GHz 8c/16t CPU.
      - fourthly it's 8GB DDR3 -> 16GB DDR4 RAM.

      You can get higher improvements by going to even faster SSD Modules (eg WD Blue3D, Samsung 960 PRO), or even faster GPUs (eg GTX 1050Ti, 1070 Ti), or even faster CPU (eg 4.5GHz), or even better RAM (eg QuadChannel 32GB DDR4-3800MHz).

      But you need to install a fresh Windows 10 Pro OS, and install the best drivers, and lastly dig deep and make the OS run leaner (turn off spyware)…that way your software can take advantage of the hardware!

      • Munki on 05/10/2018 - 16:39

        No way man. I leave my spyware on all the time!

  • montorola on 05/10/2018 - 11:36

    Is it worth upgrading from 2400mhz DDR4 ram or is it minor performance I won't notice?

    BTW running a Ryzen 2600

    • zrmx on 05/10/2018 - 11:40
      +3

      It'll depend on the tasks you are using it for. Anandtech did a test to see how memory speeds scale on Ryzen, https://www.anandtech.com/show/11857/memory-scaling-on-ryzen… . While the test system is on Ryzen 1, but the underlying microarchitecture hasn't changed much so the results should still be relevant.

      In general, there is performance uplift, with 3000 seems to be the recommended cost-considerate spot. But again, the RAM prices are high, if you can't recuperate some cost (e.g. by selling your existing 2400 RAM, or use that 2400 for another build) and just purely upgrading, you'll have to see whether that ~$200 is worth the performance uplift (between 0 to ~16%, depending on application).

      • montorola on 05/10/2018 - 11:54

        Thanks zrmx, I don't really use it for anything other than light gaming sometimes but most of the time it's Web browsing, Microsoft office and YouTube so I guess in my case it's not really that big of a deal

        • zrmx on 05/10/2018 - 12:02
          +2

          You're welcome =)

          But yea, unless you'll start having heavier computer usages (or for anyone that runs a Ryzen APU), then the current RAM prices make it hard to argue for an upgrade (unless money isn't a concern lol).

        • Bappy on 05/10/2018 - 12:05

          Have you tried overclocking your RAM using (via XMP)?

  • QuickdraW on 05/10/2018 - 12:27

    anyone know why newegg are consistently cheaper for ram?

    • [Deactivated] on 05/10/2018 - 15:20

      Actually most computer parts are generally cheaper in the US.

  • 4foxache on 05/10/2018 - 13:26

    Great price for 3600 ram would've got this if around when I was looking!

  • too cheap on 06/10/2018 - 04:26

    I was getting extra 90c from tariffs. So I stopped around a bit more. For the g.skill 3600mhz if you get single 8 sticks you should total $224~ delivered for 16gb

  • Foma2 on 06/10/2018 - 08:45

    Can I claim TRS if I purchase, let's say, 2 of DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x 8GB) 3000 MHz for $382.80 ?

  • gazza524 on 19/10/2018 - 21:35

    Has anyone received their order yet from Newegg? Mines still saying it's in the US, it has been 14 days now since I've ordered.
