My first post so be gentle :)
I'm in the process of building my gaming/content creation PC and been looking RAM suitable for my needs. Came across this deal on as part of eBay's 22% off Spring Sale, may not be as cheap as it was a few months ago, but for 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz DDR4 CL16 Desktop Memory Kit, it is not too bad.
Yeah I saw that as well. $310.76 delivered via Australia Post Standard Postage. Where as with eBay $311.22 is Express Post
Resist yourself mate, it has been way cheaper before. It will be back soon if you are not rush
Could have sworn only months ago 32GB came down to around $200-250?
@m0usju1c3: They were, I sent a set back faulty and they didn't give me a replacement only a refund. Not buying from them again. Paid $259 same exact set as this.
@m0usju1c3: I got one for $179 from last Tuesday deals, but it was 3200 MHz CL16 Aegis though
what is the actual different between aegis , trident z and ripjaws ?
@bazingaa: Ram timing. Your aegis is most likely 16-18-18-38 which has looser timing than trident 3200hz which has 16-16-16-36.
But this trident neo 3600hz have 16-19-19-39 which means this is C-die.
@Letrico: thanks for the explanation. I got the most cost effective 32 GB one (missed some vouchers, if not I could have got it for $139 :/).
it has ,
CAS Latency Time (tAA): 16T
RAS# to CAS# Delay Time (tRCD): 18T
Row Precharge Delay Time (tRP): 18T
Active to Precharge Delay Time (tRAS): 38T
does it has B-die or C-die? I got below from Thaipoon Burner.
Module Manufacturer: G.Skill
Module Part Number: F4-3200C16-16GIS
Module Series: Aegis
DRAM Manufacturer: Samsung
DRAM Components: K4A8G085W[B/C]-BCPB
@bazingaa: The one you have is not B-die, most likely samsung C-die. Usually B-die have very good timings but very costly around $400-500 for 32GB.
G skill looks better but software, Corsair iCUE is still better than crappy GSkill RGB software.
(I'm using G Skill Royal)
G.skill 3600 Mhz
Corsair 3200Mhz
Trident is the reference line of g.skill. They are using premium samsung or hynix ram(a~c die) for these(for overclockers).
F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC (this) is Hynix C-Die (16-19-19-39). I got it on ebay plus sale a year ago for $256 delivered from ShopEx so yes its been cheaper but probably not recently.
F4-3600C16D-32GTZN is Samsung B-Die (16-16-16-36) but it's 1.5-2x the price
My mild overclocking tests went so successfully I was too concerned to push harder in case I didn't know what I was doing. Reviews are pretty strong even with this die. IIRC seen 3800mHz at 15CL with this but I didn't try it.
Normally, samsung C >> hynix A die
I don't know why it's really hard to find samsung ram in here(au)
single 16gb is A$80~90 in Korea
if you don't consider any overclocking, even ugly green but cheap pcbs makes system more stable.
Note that this is not b die even though its 3600/16. Only the one with 16 secondary timings is b die
You can grab this for slightly cheaper if you're ok with purchasing from Amazon US - https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B083VNMP87
How far can you push the clock speeds?
~3,733-3,800mhz
i just grabbed the kingston fury renegade for $269, 32gb 3600 cl16 but timings are 16-20-20-39, so slightly slower, will have to see if i can tighten the timings up when they arrive lol
how about team t force ，they are also very popular
