Lowest Price for 64GB 5600MT/s CL36 DDR5 Ram.
Set and forget AMD Expo @ 5600, CL36 at this lower speed it shouldn't crash or blue screen like some 6000 CL30 kits that tax some not so great AM5 memory controllers

Eligible for change of mind returns until Jan 31, 2024

I'm planing to upgrade to Ryzen 8000 (Zen5) next year with the improved memory controller at around 7000MTs :)… not a fan of the buggy first gen memory controller issues that we also got with Zen1 and Zen2

      Why is that?. If your unlucky and your CPU's memory controller struggles to get to 6000 MT's. it doesn't matter what brand you buy.. :)

      • +1

        Probably Kingston mostly m-die below 7000 and a-die above, not sure they use much other chips

        • Kingston loves using Hynix.. it was the same with DDR4

    wow thats super cheap

  • Cheaper during Black Friday?

    @netsurfer Thoughts on this? Should I proceed with buying this for DDR5 ram and will this be mostly plug and play?

    • +1

      Eligible for change of mind returns until Jan 31, 2024 .. i see this being a safe purchase .. Hope that helps.. :) stability is never a guaranteed thing but with these using less power at 1.25v and running under 6000 at stock expo settings is a good sign for stability… also check your motherboards support page for QVL memory list…

      I think this is a new kit so it may not be on many motherboard QVL lists yet

        Thanks for the reply, I'm currently in the process of building a computer slowly but haven't yet decided on a motherboard. This might sound like a silly question but, would it be smart to buy this while it's on sale now and use later when i end up buying the rest of the parts? Will this ram kit by corsair eventually be supported by most motherboards as time goes on? Or would it be smarter to just buy Ram later when I have decided on the Mobo and the rest of the build. Also would there be associated shipping charges if there was a change of mind return?

        • +2

          If your going to be buying an AMD Ryzen 7000 System.. YES.. If its intel… NO.. This ram is for AMD… also if you have any problems Amazon will get you your money back.. you have until Jan 31, 2024 to get a refund

          Not sure about the shipping charges.. last time i returned a faulty battery powered Bosh lawn mower amazon paid for the return postage but change of mind returns maybe different

            @vid_ghost: It is my understanding that the ram for intel and amd is identical and simply the AMD EXPO and INTEL XMP is just a 'we have checked that this specific memory has been tested'.

            Reality being that any good quality memory brand will work and can be tuned by anyone.

          • @vid_ghost: It isn't just for AMD, It will work with Intel aswell. My G skill DDR5 says AMD Expo aswell but I use it with a 14900K and it has XMP profiles aswell

            • @chainz: There are memory kits which support both XMP and EXPO. The DDR5 memory kit I am using supports both.

              Thing is, officially, according to Corsair's Web site, we are only able see EXPO mentioned. Generally, if a kit has the coding for both, it would mention that (it's a selling point that supports both). In the long run, newer and future DDR5 kits will likely to support both. However, right not, it is not a guarantee.

              On the safe side, we generally don't tell people an EXPO memory kit would also have the coding for XMP if the manufacturer hasn't mentioned it.

      Hopefully, if you needed a set, you bought one (before the special deal is sold out). If it is direct from Amazon AU, then the return is nice and easy. When I checked this, it was already sold out and showing Amazon UK via Amazon AU. That gets a bit tricky. You need to show incompatibility I reckon (because change of mind will incur return label cost).

      Hynix M is a cost effective choice (should be plug and play, but an AM5 board could default to 4800 initially, you will need to then change it to use XMP). Make sure you update the AMD board to the latest BIOS. The latest BIOS appears to greatly reduced the super annoying memory training time. Also, make sure you test it with memory context restore set to enabled (otherwise every time you reboot your AM5 PC, you will need to retrain it).

      Some boards will require you to drop back to DDR5-4800 (no overclocking) when doing a BIOS upgrade.

      • Its back on Amazon.com.au

        • Unfortunately not :( I just checked and it's out of stock. I was waiting for a few friends of mine to respond to splitting the ram with me. 64gb for myself is a bit much. I just mainly study and game atm, so 64gb would be overkill haha. I appreciate both of your responses though, I'll keep an eye out on deals like this in the future. Thank you!

          • @Shashii: you would be better off with multiple sticks for dual channel, so a different kit would be better if 64gig is too much.

            • @tophern: Oh I see you can't run 1 stick of ram 32gb? It would hinder performance would it? Sorry I'm still learning about computers I've only ever built one with scraps from a junkyard so I don't know much about them. My previous build I had a 16gb single stick I found in a scrap lot that I had on my motherboard.

              • +2

                @Shashii: you can run one stick of 32gb, but it would perform better with 2x 16gb sticks with one in each channel

                • @tophern: and I'm assuming you can't mix and match ram sticks? Would it be something like the ram would run at the lowest speed of the two sticks or would it straight up not be compatible?

      • Sorry, correcting a typo.

        An AM5 board could default to DDR5-4800 initially, you will need to then change it to use XMP EXPO in the BIOS.

        • All gone now.. managed to put in my order…

  • Will this work with Intel i9 12900k ? Description says AMD Expo.

    • No idea if these even have XMP settings

      • What are you talking about, expo and xmp settings are on the motherboard, those stickers are marketed for either amd and intel are essentially the same.

          I didn't know.. I'm still on AM4..I'll worry about the DDR5 drama in the future, Hopefully they can fix all the issues

            @vid_ghost: What issues? Most ddr5s are stable as (profanity), as long as you don't push it above something like 6000

            • @angilinwago: DDR5 Memory training can take 2-5 minutes HAHA.. what the!.. If I'm going to make the switch i want more performance
              Samsung chips crashes on AM5.. some micron does too.. Its not as rock solid as DDR4 is…happy for it to mature more.

              • +2

                @vid_ghost: DDR5 4 DIMMs is still a big joke. Memory training (especially on AM5) is still annoying. Even memory context restore doesn't work if you turned off your PC fully for too long. I guess it is good that nowadays most cases use tempered glass (so you can see the LED lights, including the status / debug LED lights or 7 segment display code).

                BIOS upgrade needing the memory to be set to DDR5-4800 is also annoying on AM5. While it is understandable (because if you have unstable DDR5 settings, BIOS can freeze up and hang), it is a pain compared to AM4. I thought the AM4 DDR4 memory mess was bad back in Ryzen 3000 series / initial DDR4-3600 phase. DDR5, if you don't get a good memory kit, it can be a nightmare.

                • @netsurfer: I want to build an mini ITX emulator PC… I couldnt find a single AM5 itx board that didnt have a small fan.. some have two small fans haha… so no go on that… both intel and AMD itx motherboards are overpriced.. i'm thinking i'm going to go AM4 :) looks to be super cheap at the moment

                  • +1

                    @vid_ghost: Do you plan to use the iGPU or get a dedicated GPU? AM4 based systems are dirt cheap at the moment. Value for money, hard to beat. Also, less fuss.

                    The bit I am trying to find out is AGESA 1.2.0.B vs 1.2.0.A. 1.2.0.B fixed the Inception vulnerability, but apparently could reduce the performance. Still have an AM4 based system and running AGESA 1.2.0.A at the moment.

                      @netsurfer: Will probably end up using a RX6600XT so i can enable smart access memory… AMD drivers have come a long way and CPS3 (PS3 Emulator) now runs almost all games perfect. (love me some marvel vs capcom) I like to run my AM4 chips with 45w in the bios.. i lose very little in games and the reduced heat/power usage is nice for an itx build… I don't want to get a gimped AM4 CPU for a slow integrated GPU.

                      I updated my bios 5 months ago.. no idea what AGESA i'm running… Avast is a pretty good free software to help protect your PC.. 99% of virus infections are caused by going to a dodgy website.. you would be surprised how often avast pops up and blocks an auto-load virus/mailware :)

                      I've been building and having fun with PC's since i was 15 in 1996 and been an IT Admin for 24 years… not to worried about CPU micro code vulnerability when people just click that link to the scam text message on their phone haha :) people are so easy to scam… who needs a complicated PC virus

          expo/xmp settings are saved on the memory kit and read by the motherboard.

    • It will most likely work with i9, but Intel CPU based boards most likely won't support reading of AMD Expo. Assuming the worst case (i.e. no), then it could default to JEDEC settings (the JEDEC default for this kit appears to be DDR5-4800 40-40-40-77 1.1V). You can then manually configure it to run DDR5-5600 CL36 (voltage will need to be raised).

      For an Intel based system, it is better to get a memory kit that supports XMP.

  • That didnt last long :)… well done to those who got one while they could.

    Microsoft bing says 4800 is the sweet spot with ddr5 for productivity and gaming.

    • +1

      maybe that's a sign you shouldn't rely on bing

    • 5200 is absolutely minimum and you should really consider higher
      5600 is ideal
      6000 is realistically as high as you go before the price/performance metric goes out the window.

      But what ive heard is that if you are running AMD, you want to be aiming fo low latency memoy, that is the timings, commonly expressed as CL30, C32, C34, etc.

    Been using my new Ryzen DDR5 system for about a month now. Made sure to get ram on the mobo QVL list as I wanted the peace of mind. Running at its Expo 6000MTs setting, latest bios update and I got my first blue screen yesterday :(

    Think i'm just going to persist with it and hope future bios update bring more stability. Unless there are any other recommendations for bios settings that may help? I haven't enabled memory context restore as I heard it could bring more instability and the boot time is longish but bearable.

    • +2

      Hope DDR6 goes back to being what DDR4 and DDR3 was…

    • Keep it at stock sp 4800 MTs and run it like that for a while .. see how stable it is.

    • +1

      Which RAM kit do you currently use in the PC? Also, other than setting RAM to use Expo, what other memory related settings did you change? Which motherboard? Did you get the blue screen right after Windows starts or only after running Windows for a while?

      DDR5, the compatibility is no where near as good as DDR4, especially on AM5 platform currently (Ryzen 7000 series CPUs). Memory Context Restore, leaving it disabled does reduce the chance of instability, but another way to think about it is that if your memory kit isn't able to support it, technically, it is still not the ideal memory kit.

      If the latest BIOS does not reduce the memory training time by a noticeable margin, you could consider reverting back to the previous version.

      • Appreciate the reply. Haven't touched any other memory or cpu related settings. Mobo is TUF B650m-plus wifi and memory is Adata AX5U6000C3032G-DCLARBK.

        Blue screen happened after hours of use, with 1 Chrome tab opened watching Youtube and right after updating/installing Epson printer software.

        Yeah I actually never noticed any difference in memory training time after updating the bios.

        • Did you change DRAM Power Down Mode to disabled? If yes, change it back to default (which is auto (and that defaults to enabled)). That setting is different to Gear Down mode. It is not easy to find that option. I assume you did not watch any youTube video on AM5 memory tuning. If you did, try to remember whether you changed that setting. If yes, revert it.

          If your motherboard's later BIOS version doesn't improve memory training time, then you could revert to the previous stable version.

          One reason to turn on memory context restore is that it is a good way to really test how stable the RAM modules with your current motherboard and BIOS settings are. Which memory kit did you get.

          • @netsurfer: Power Down is set to Auto. I'll consider reverting the bios, but will persist with it for now. Also just turned memory context restore on, so will see how this goes now and if I start seeing more frequent blue screens.

  • Has anyone received their RAM from this deal yet?
