Been looking for some RAM for my new ITX and found this in PCPP (PCPartPicker).
Delivery for Melbourne is $30
Seems pretty good price compare to local shop ($600+)
Also G.skill TridentZ RGB 64 GB (2x 32 GB) DDR4-3600 is $452.1 + delivery(newegg.com).
lol size don't matter
Normally ITX builds are for tiny compact lower power/heat setups, so running something with such high end hardware can limit it.
Fwiw I do have a HTPC with a 9600k and 2080 blower in a Node 202
Not really no, can easily watercool an ITX build if going higher end
@JMxoxo: True, case permitting.
But still curious why he wants 64gb, I've gone from a 32gb setup to 16gb and notice no difference.
There's instances where more ram actually decreases benchmarks on games
@scuderiarmani: Usually if you go overkill you'd buy 32GB. Since he's buying 64GB it's highly likely he has a genuine need for it. I'm just doing web development and already use up to 25GB, the remaining 7GB is reserved for firing up a quick game at lunch time but sometimes it's not enough. Machine learning or VMs will easily eat up much more than that. But yeah definitely not solely for gaming.
@Kingduytan: He never said he was buying that, maybe he just came across it while looking for a 16gb kit.
@scuderiarmani: And you mum might say why you need 16gb… plenty of use cases where 16gb is nothing. Games like Cities:Skylines alone can easily consume 20gb+ ram.
@scuderiarmani: Google Chrome use.
Depends on the application, some applications, like a large design project file would benefit from the RAM.
Also for gaming, Age of Empires II Definitive Edition…
But still curious why he wants 64gb, I've gone from a 32gb setup to 16gb and notice no difference.
Using VMs, doing video compositing (Eg. Adobe After Effects basically uses RAM like a RAMdisk) and working with several extremely large images at once would gobble up 64GB quite easily.
I've used my main desktop for running VM's in the past and had 64gb for this purpose (have since moved that off to a dedicated ESX server).
If you wanted ITX, you might have a similar requirement? A 3900x and 64gb combo is pretty good
can the heat spreader/sinks on these be easily detached and re attached ?
The bigger the better ;)
Not necessarily… You need to actually have a need for it?
hopefully you got 2 kits so you got 128gb ram.
That should be decent
Show me the ITX board that'll do that please
@Vince61: I tried a ram drive, but it really didn't seem worth the effort compared to a fast NVME drive (for the things I used it for - VMs, gaming, programming).
@scuderiarmani: ASRock MB X299E-ITX AC X-Series X299 DDR4 64GB PCIE SATA USB 3.1 2T2R mITX RTL (X299E-ITX/AC) https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B075KJJ93M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i…
@Variableaperture: A decent attempt, but "a board that'll do that" would have to take DIMMs, not SODIMMs - you're not getting two of these kits in that board.
@Shobai: Yep, I do know of that board, incompatible anyway. Not to mention a X299 platform would hurt in this day and age.

Yea seems like a waste. Probably better to invest that money in bigger drives or something an ITX build can better take advantage of.
If he's anything like me he just periodically puts together overkill PCs on Pcpartpicker pretending he's rich because it's the only thing that makes him feel happy anymore.
Alternatively, sane reasons.
Always takes me a fair amount of time and will power to stop going to pcpartpicker and hardware news sites after I finish my latest build.
It's not the worst addiction around, but it can be an addiction.
Open one instance of Houdini.
Could be the portability is important vs lugging a full machine site go site.
Thats cheap for those specs
Nice, only concern is warranty
G.skills have a limited lifetime warranty. So as long as you don't deliberately smash them or do something really stupid, they're well covered.
Is there a deal for 16GB/32GB DDR4-3600?
and to think I paid 480 for 32GB in 2018. sigh….

Last ram I ordered from New Egg was open box and had greasy finger marks on it. They wouldn't replace it with a brand new set. Greasy hand bandit may have committed some esd to the memory.
It's just a warning to people who don't want potentially damaged RAM from a company who sell it as brand new without labelling it open box. Why the downvotes??
Video editing and my past gigapixel photography projects would make use of all that RAM.
Gigapixel imaging would turn my SSD into slow virtual RAM and use almost all the available space so I used to leave the processing overnight or even over a day. I have no doubts I could easily use all 128GB and still eat into virtual RAM but balancing budget/costs and actual usage 64GB seems like a sweet spot.
Why does my deal seem to say $418
add gst
Great deal! Was looking to get this for my Zen 3 build for later this year :)
Damn, wish they still had free shipping like they did last year to Aus.
too tall for a cryorig cooler ?
What are you doing with an ITX build and 64gb?
