8GB (2x4GB) 1600 Ripjaws X @Newegg for $29.99 No Rebate

[SparkyJJO]

It's over now, but there was also a deal on Gskill Sniper DDR3-1600 CAS 9 1.5v RAM for $29.99 FS at Newegg as well. I had someone order five sets for me.

I wanted the Snipers over the Ripjaws for purely aesthetic reasons (black fits my theme better than red) but it was all sold out when I made my order. Must be your fault, buying up 5 sets and all! If I see you selling them at profit in FS I'm calling foul

Got 3 sets of the ripjaws to put in my x58 board for 24GB total.

Why did I buy these? I already have 8GB of 1333 that I bought at $50 when I thought there was no way they'd get cheaper. Well, these are 1600MHz so hopefully I can unload the slower ones for $30

 

[hellfire88]

The Ripjaw X's seem back in stock (non-X's are back up to $45)! Grab em while you can

 

[Fear No Evil]

Just grabbed 2 sets with my $40 Google code.. Basically $40 for 16gb.. can't beat that.

 

[cytoSiN]

Right now I'm using these.

Would it be worth adding the kit that's on sale here (which has slower timings but both are 1600)? Thanks.

I wish those g.skill snipers 1600 low voltage memory would go on sale again. Now with the newegg gift cards, id get one hell of a deal if they would just drop another $5-$10.

 

[cytoSiN]

Meh, OOS.

 

[CuriousMike]

Back in stock... ( I kept refreshing the page and got a set. )

 

[imported_Computer MAn]

Picked up 16 GB as well today with the Google deal. Will have an extra 4 GB sitting around but couldn't bring myself to go 24 GB on my X58 board.

 

[gorobei]

back in stock, same price.

 

[godbless]

are these backwards compatible with H61 mobos that usualyl take 1333?

 

[djnsmith7]

Damn that's a helluva deal...$30 for 8 gigs...I haven't bought RAM in ages...how long has it been this cheap?

 

[Skott]

I first took notice of the prices when NE started their Black November Month sales but I think they were having sales that low before that. Not sure.

 

[dualsmp]

Anyone know whether this memory will work with H55 chipset? Or is this memory strictly for Intel P67 & Z68.

Edit: Seems I found my answer. Looks like it should work.

Thanks for the deal post! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I saw this when you posted it and picked up 2 sets and used a 10 bucks off offer I was emailed from the egg. Works perfectly just like my previous ripjaws memory purchases.

 

[fastcuda]

In for 2 for a future build, on an i7 now, always a generation behind chasing deals, thanks OP

What's that about the default speed being 11-11-11, does that need adjusting?

 

[arcenite]

It's easy for me to pass this up. 16gb for a gaming machine is like putting a wing on a minivan.

Rice :whiste:

And a post like this is just like "thread crapping"...

you can manually set the 9-9-9 cas they are rated for in the BIOS. the 11-11-11 default is just JEDEC standard to ensure that they will work in any board @ 1600 instead of getting met with a big fat no-POST.

Really?

Thread crapping is against hot deals forum rules. But then again for 10k posts in the last 10 years, you already knew that, huh. This ain't off topic and nobody cares what you think.

Really. :whiste:

 

[Fallengod]

I really wish they would put those low voltage sniper sets on sale. I want some of those. I keep hearing many people saying a hyper tx 212 plus on some gigabyte boards(same setup I was most likely going to buy), wont fit with the ripjaw x's.

Tough call for me because I could get 16GB of this for $30 after the 10 off promo and the $40 newegg giftcard that was $20. 16GB for $30...hummm... but if they didnt fit, thats 16GB of paper weight.

 

[Toetee]

Is the Sniper faster. I also have 8gb Sniper 1600, was thinking of getting these.
I read somewhere they are the same chips on both.

 

[Fallengod]

Well, they arnt "faster". But the ones I am talking about are low voltage which means lower(slightly) power consumption, less heat, maybe more overclocking headroom and slightly lower profile(ie, can fit under a heatsink, unlike ripjaws on certain setups may not fit)

These are the ones ive been waiting for to go on sale again. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231461

These are the ones I installed this week along with FX-6100, runs sweet, but like you I want another for $29.99 No Rebate.
