Currently far and away the best price I can find anywhere ($50+ more expensive) for lower latency (16-18-18) 3600Mhz RAM.

This is the speed and latency that will give near-best performance for the new Ryzen 3000 chips - although to be fair, we're only talking a few percent even in best case scenarios.

Interesting article on RAM performance with benchmarks included

    It looks a good deal but I can't wait for 1-3 weeks…

    • Viospeed on 16/07/2019 - 17:42

      I've order a few things from Amazon US and they always arrive with 1.5 weeks.

      The cheapest 3200 C14 modules in Australia are basically $100 more than this for bugger all difference.

      This is an excellent deal.

      CL16 at 3600Mhz is fine. My friend purchased these from PLE, and they only run 3600Mhz at CL17 and won't push or work with their XMP profile no matter what. His BIOS is updated, and he has a $450+ motherboard. https://www.ple.com.au/Products/624501/GSkill-16GB-2x8GB-DDR…

        What CPU?

        • ThatsCheap on 16/07/2019 - 17:47

          8700K (By "these" in the previous comment I meant the ones I linked from PLE in that comment, not the ones in the OP).

      CL16 at 3600 is good and apparently even better than expensive 3200 CL14 with Zen 2!

        3600c16 is guaranteed b-die, so is 3200c14

        Arguably 3600c16 is better binned than 3200c14, and is in reality roughly identical.

        But yes 3600 is optimal if you don't want to tweak manually, infinity fabric is tied to memory speed automatically til 3600.

            @jlapr1: Yeah realized after this, surprised e-die is this good even if subtimings are a little below b-die

            Rest of my comment still stands

    • Flinchy on 16/07/2019 - 20:28

    For old laptop Celeron b380, do you think 16gb ia overkill? (I know mine takes DDR3 I just asking if I should go to 16 or just 8gb ram). Currently 4gb

    • scrimshaw on 16/07/2019 - 17:21

      Instruction Set - 32 bit

      You need a full system overhaul, not a RAM upgrade.

      • CyberMurning on 16/07/2019 - 17:33

        Yes I know it's old but already has ssd and basically I just browse internet and spreadsheet, and accessing my Nas

        • scrimshaw on 16/07/2019 - 17:34
          +3

          with a 32 bit system and OS, you cannot use more than 4GB.

            @scrimshaw: Sorry my bad… Intel Celeron B830 @1.80GHz max ram is 16gm I checked the manual

            • scrimshaw on 16/07/2019 - 17:38
              +2

              @CyberMurning: Oh I see, Intel Celeron B830 is a 64 bit CPU, and yeah it'll support DDR3 memory (not DDR4).

              it is still kind of old though, and increasing to 16GB of RAM will alleviate issues with running out of RAM (especially if using Chrome and opening many tabs) but it won't improve it by leaps and bounds. You can still make do with 8GB of RAM.

              • CyberMurning on 16/07/2019 - 17:44

                @scrimshaw: Ok will get one stick of 8gb and see what happen (only 2 slots). Definitely feel slow with current 4gb. Checking gumtree now.

  • adam-07 on 16/07/2019 - 17:16

    One of the reviews on Amazon is complaining it won't run at the advertised speeds.

    • Azmunga on 16/07/2019 - 17:20

      He's using a previous generation Ryzen chip (2600x), the rules on what RAM works well are a bit (very) different for them.

      • dcep on 16/07/2019 - 21:18

        is this the same for 3200g / 3400g ?

  • Zazer on 16/07/2019 - 17:36

    This is the TRUE sweet spot. C16, 3600 and you’re sweet. Should beat any of the other C18 3600’s out there.

  • whtbox on 16/07/2019 - 17:43

    Can this work in conjunction with my 16gb 2 X 8gb 3400mhz c16 g.skill tridentZ? On my z170 i7 6700k

  • sinewaves7 on 16/07/2019 - 17:44

    Does the price of RAM move very much? I might buy this for a future build, though it may sit in a closet for a while.
    I realise it's better to wait but buying components over time works for me and I feel like RAM doesn't come down as much as CPUs and GPUs.

    • scrimshaw on 16/07/2019 - 17:53

      If Japan stops the exports of chemicals (required to create DRAM modules and semiconductors) to Korea then we may see a resurgence of inflated RAM pricing. Since Samsung produces most of the global DRAM supply, a restriction in trade will cause price hikes to happen. The odds of this happening are…. I have no idea.

      But the odds of a price decrease seems unlikely.

    I prefer MORE ram than LOWER CL. With $60-70 more you get 32gb 3600mhz.

    • Rectambe on 16/07/2019 - 18:12

      Hell, for about $20 more you can get 32gb @3000mhzCL16

      99.9% of people don't need more than 16gb currently.

      32gb has no use for anyone outside of 4k editing, heavy database usage, or server usage etc.

      Lower cl = faster usage in every possible workload.

      Perhaps not worth the price hike to most people, but still, CL>capacity.

  • ts13 on 24/07/2019 - 14:55

    I pre-emptively bought this RAM, but finding a 3600mHz compatible mb ended up being expensive, and a hassle.
    I ended up buying this motherboard which only supports DDR4-3466(OC) Memory. The RAM should still be compatible, right?

  • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2019 - 10:49

    Has anyone who ordered this had it shipped yet? I ordered when the deal came up and it says August 3rd shipping. It’s the only bloody component I’m waiting on. Anyone know if I can buy a matching pair here, so I can get this build happening?

    • davidl820 on 25/07/2019 - 11:13

      I'm in the same boat, still waiting.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2019 - 12:05

        I’m half tempted to buy some of the 3200mhz stuff on sale and sell it when my 3600mhz arrives

        • davidl820 on 25/07/2019 - 12:25

          Similar to you but I'm considering cancelling it instead.

          • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2019 - 12:53

            @davidl820: It’s a pain in the ass because I did get 3600X X570 and 2080 deals in quick succession, and all of those parts have arrived now.

  • Justtip on 08/08/2019 - 03:27

    Anyone had theirs arrive yet? Mine still hasn't shipped according to my Amazon orders

      Same here.

      • Justtip on 08/08/2019 - 10:08

        I just this morning was charged for the ram. Also, if you go to the product page it says there's one in stock. Presumably that means they are shipping it today/tomorrow. fingers crossed

      • Justtip on 09/08/2019 - 08:26

        Shipment confirmed today. Due next week, finally!

        • davidl820 on 09/08/2019 - 09:35

          Got charged this morning so probably going to get the email today or tomorrow like yours :)
