for all happy chaps who bought a gaming laptop yesterday and need a stick of RAM

a lot of places on eBay have the same price, but Amazon promises next day delivery, so I am keen to take their word on this. Melbourne metro area, so YMMV

8gb is also competitive $52

free delivery, Prime or not Prime

lowest price according to camels, too

with current auspost situation, last time I ordered a SSD on eBay, it took 3 weeks

edit: don't forget to try the $10 off code MAX10 in Amazon app if it's first time you order via app

edit: backorder now. ozbargained!

      Kingston NV1 2TB Gen3 M.2 for $229.00 at shopping express at the moment. Decent $/GB.

          No DRAM cache, so good for e.g. gaming but not if you need a drive to constantly pull files on/off.

      • CDG on 21/10/2021 - 10:23

          Absolutely! I game off a Crucial MX500 SATA that is rated at 4-5x slower than the NV1, and the difference between the SATA drive and my Samsung 970 EvoPlus boot drive is indistinguishable.

      • Clear on 21/10/2021 - 08:22

        In many parts of Australia Prime shipping is not Expedited shipping as that costs. Infact if you're in Sydney where the Amazon warehouse is I'd expect next day delivery. Not in some of the parts of the country further away.

        Amazon is delivered by Auspost where I live for example.

        • shabaka on 21/10/2021 - 08:22

          I order things from Amazon on a regular basis, and never get free expedited delivery

          this is first time I believe

          Just to clarify, Amazon has one or more warehouses in most of the capital cities.

      • jjsu on 21/10/2021 - 10:52

        Amazon is pretty much always spot-on with their delivery dates. If not, you can always contact their Support and they normally offer some form of compensation.

    • Schmiddler on 21/10/2021 - 08:42

      Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne combined are half the population of Australia and from what I'm looking at they are delivering next day to at least those three cities.

      • Clear on 21/10/2021 - 08:44
        -1

        Yes but if you read the deal a bit more that's the Expedited Shipping and that's not always free and it certainly isn't free for everyone.

        Therefore the title of the deal is misleading. Otherwise you need to add the state tags or 'Metro' etc to clarify.

        • Schmiddler on 21/10/2021 - 08:49

          Fair enough, I was more talking about your wording of most/majority. They are delivering next day to the majority, according to them at least.

          I guess one of the few benefits of paying exorbitant rent is that we get our Prime deliveries a week earlier - not so sure it's worth the tradeoff.

      It's not always next day, but it's a heck of a lot faster than Australia Post. Last item I ordered before this was a set of lightning cables on a Thursday evening and they arrived to the parcel locker on a Saturday. Or maybe it was a Sunday. Anyway it was fast.

      This is Metro Melbourne, using an Amazon parcel locker.

      • drinkin-beer on 21/10/2021 - 08:34

        Does it come quicker if its delivered to an amazon parcel locker? I have mine go to my Auspost parcel locker and stuff has been taking like a week lately. kinda regretting renewing my prime membership.

    Thanks. Btw the 16gb module is also available in DDR4-2666 for $10 less, if you have an older laptop that can work fine with that.

    • shabaka on 21/10/2021 - 08:14
      +1

      but your next laptop will sure need 3200, so I think it's better to future proof

      I remember I got my 2666 16gb stick for around $80 a year ago

      I was thinking exactly that back then, but now I have a 16gb stick that isn't allowing my new laptop reach top speeds it's capable of, so now I have a 2666 set of planks that's just collecting dust in a drawer

      if I bought 3200 back then, I would not have to spend another $100 now. maths!

      • helmutiffe on 21/10/2021 - 15:02

        That's a good point. My current laptops have ddr4-2133 or ddr4-2666 but I can imagine one day if I move up to something with a Ryzen APU I'd really like to have the fast ram to go with it.

    • takemymoney on 21/10/2021 - 08:56

      if you have eBay plus, just order from Amazon and return eBay when it finally arrives

  • its on 21/10/2021 - 08:21

    General question.. This (CL22) or should go lower to CL18 or CL16 (about $40 difference)

    Use case is in a NUC8 or future mini PCs

    • mazx on 21/10/2021 - 08:32

      Becareful, I tried to put this CL22 on a Nuc 11 Extreme, and it did not work. Need to ensure you check your NUC's ram compatibility chart. Not sure is it due to worse CL performance as some of the Crucial ram is indeed compatible.

      • its on 21/10/2021 - 08:46

        thanks.. shows compatible.. but still a general question on CL and worth the extra $40 (for 32GB pair)?

        • Guppy on 21/10/2021 - 09:20

          I found out the hard way with my previous NUC that the compatibility list isn't always enough. I bought the same model of Crucial RAM listed on Intel's "tested compatible" list from a local retailer, but the batch number was slightly different and I ended up with issues that took me weeks to troubleshoot.

          Intel even replaced the entire NUC under warranty, but the problems didn't go away until I returned the RAM and ordered direct from Crucial using their compatibility wizard. It's been working fine ever since.

          • Diji1 on 21/10/2021 - 09:45

            @Guppy: QVL lists are garbage. Most of the entries are not tested.

            • Guppy on 21/10/2021 - 10:55

              @Diji1: In my case the QVL was actually correct, though. They listed CT16G4SFD8213.16FA1 as tested, and the general consensus on the Intel forums was that CT16G4SFD8213.16FA1 worked fine. It was CT16G4SFD8213.M16FB that didn't work.

              Unfortunately with Crucial you only ever know the model number (CT16G4SFD8213) and not the batch number (16FA1/M16FB) until you've bought it…

    FYI - Need two identical configuration (2 X 8 or 2 X 16) for anyone who wants to optimize dual channel

    Having said that my laptop seems to be fast with just 1 X 16 only but I mostly use my laptop for office task

    • shabaka on 21/10/2021 - 09:04
      +1

      yes. Intel has FLEX mode though, so you could have different planks running partial dual channel, but YMMV

      e.g. if you have 8 and 16, you will have 8 plank plus half the 16 running dual channel, and the rest of 16 running single channel

      it's going to be slower than dual channel 8 + 8, but 24gb of ram still better than 16 haha

  • RydersOfTheStorm on 21/10/2021 - 09:02

    Thanks OP! Orders 1x 16gb stick for my laptop, so it'll now run 2x16gb dual channel.

  • Tavisophical on 21/10/2021 - 09:23

      good find! if you're ok to wait for things to be delivered from US.

      also I don't know that brand..

      I know that Crucial works in my laptop, so it was an easy choice for me, I need my stick of RAM yesterday!

      • Tavisophical on 21/10/2021 - 09:27

        On Crucial's website, the CT16G4SFRA32A timings are CL 22-22-22 which sounds quite slow

        Timings for the T-Force are CL16-20-20-40 according to it's spec sheet
        https://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/catalog/act.php?act=2&index_…

        Not sure how much this matters, probably depends on application though

        • tmr3 on 21/10/2021 - 09:49
          +1

          Note that those SO-DIMMs are rated for those timings at 1.35V, and it'll likely be an XMP profile as well.

          You'd need a laptop that both supports XMP and supports 1.35V memory, and then there's a chance they'll work.

          3200 CL22-22-22 at 1.2V is the JEDEC standard for 3200 MT/s DDR4 SO-DIMMs, and will have the highest compatibility in general.

    • vihand on 21/10/2021 - 09:58

      The reviews from Amazon mentioned if there is no XMP enabled, it will run as 2667 instead of 3200. This might apply to most of AMD laptops.

  • driverelli on 21/10/2021 - 09:27

    I have 16gb Samsung ram in my nitro 5 can I put a 16gb stick of this to run it in dual channel?

    • Tavisophical on 21/10/2021 - 09:29

      From what I understand, dual channel works best or only works when the RAM modules are the same, but you could give it a go and report back your findings

      Two very small risks when buying separate sticks - first, one stick is an unmarked return and second, unannounced switches in die manufacturers

      • Doolteam on 21/10/2021 - 15:58

        Two very small risks when buying separate sticks - first, one stick is an unmarked return

        So you mean there is a chance I could receive a stick that has been returned to Amazon for whatever reason? Does that only happen to single sticks as opposed to kits or its just a higher probability because you make two purchases instead of one?

        And because its unmarked is there any way to identify it is a return?

        second, unannounced switches in die manufacturers

        Can you please explain what it means and how it impacts usage.

        • Look Up on 22/10/2021 - 16:30
          +1

          First question, it's a higher probability and you will see it in some of the reviews for long life/popular products. If you do get an unmarked return, it's easy to return with Amazon so it is a hassle rather than a scam.

          Second question, let's say you buy 2 sticks of RAM with the exact same capacity/specs/model number. The brand may have been using Samsung die but have now switched to Hynix (for whatever reason). Some mobo and overclocking setups are sensitive to mixed die setups which could mean boot issues, unstable overclocks etc

          • Doolteam on 22/10/2021 - 16:56
