G.Skill 8GB (1x8GB)F4-3200C16S-8GIS Aegis 3200MHz DDR4 RAM
Aegis DDR4
DDR4-3200MHz CL16-18-18-38 1.35V
8GB (1x8GB)
2 for $90 is a good price for 16GB 3200MHZ
There is also Asrock B450M HDV R4.0 mATX AM4 Motherboard for $59, the cheapest price I have seen for a b450 board. https://www.umart.com.au/Asrock-B450M-HDV-R4-0-mATX-AM4-Moth…
Much prefer these sort of low-profile heat spreaders over most of the oversized and gaudy ones you get these days (Looking at you ADATA/XPG)
If RAM doesnt overheat why are they even using heat spreaders?

Pull them off?
upvoting for the OP's thumbnail alone.
i changed my fb pic to tht
"2 for $90 is a good price"
he probably ate both of them
Working from home coz of lockdowns.
Lmao the fapsmith.
$10 standard / $15 express to metro melb
3200 CL16 is good for Ryzen right? Or should I look for faster ones?
Has been the best price/performance for a long time, but with RAM getting so cheap now, see if you can step up to 3600 c16.
If you don't want to waste money, try clock these higher.
Keep in mind we are talking about a 5% performance difference, personally I would spend extra cash on a CPU like a 5800x
Is this for gaming? Or rendering? Multitasking? Just benchmarks?
Gaming benchmarks. I would imagine a proper workload like rendering would show more benefit
These sticks will be probably Hynix AFR which won't clock well if at all.
For a Ryzen 5000 CPU imo it's definitely worth the extra cost in getting 3600C16.
I know very little about this stuff- will it fit in my Dell Optiplex 9020?
You need to check carefully as it may be incompatible.
No, you need DDR3 RAM.
Corsair 16GB (2x8GB)CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 Vengeance LPX 3600MHz DDR4 RAM Looking at this on Umart for $119 .. Bargain ?
Notice the C18.
CL = CAS latency of 18 clock cycles.
At RAM speed of 3600MHz,
1 clock is 1/3600th of a second.
18/3600 = 0.005 seconds latency.
meanwhile ops ram
16/3200 = 0.005 seconds latency.
I would expect the cheap ram to manually overclock to basically the same performance level as the more expensive one, given maybe a touch more voltage.
You'll find better ram has lower latencies such as 3200CL14
14/3200 = 0.0044 seconds latency
and therefore is pricier
thankyou for explaining.
Your calculations are wrong but the theory behind it is correct.
3600MHz means each clock is 1/3,600,000,000 of a second. You also need to halve the advertised speed because DDR means "double data rate", so "3600MHz" RAM is really running at 1800MHz.
The simpliest way to calculate RAM latency is to multiply (CL/RAM speed) by a factor of 2000, which gives latency in nanoseconds:
(18/3600) * 2000 = 10 ns
(16/3200) * 2000 = 10 ns
(14/3200) * 2000 = 8.75 ns
Totally forgot about DDR abbreviation!
I think I'd pay more not to have to deal with the nerds at Umart that don't seem to understand what customer service means. It's got to be the only place in the world where it takes 15 minutes to get a click and collect order, while they have a nerdy chat about something mindless.
