I use these for cheap builds, they work fine for me. Also work in OEM PCs.

I’ve been using that t force memory quite a bit, Amazon has been having them paired with reasonably good nvme 4 drives at solid discounts frequently. No muss, no fuss. Would buy again and considering more now.

Great price for those timings despite it only being 3200.... I've used that exact RAM in builds for several people. (except it was around $140 at the time!)

 

[VirtualLarry]

I could have gotten GSkill B-die, for only $10 more... sigh.

Edit: No, I'm wrong.

I bought 32GB of GSkill 3200 for $89.99.

The B-die FlareX kit was only 16GB for $99.99.

I paid substantially more for 2x16 Corsair Dom-Plat CL14 DDR4-3600 (14-16-16-36) a few months ago and this is about 90% as fast for a little over half the price.

 

[Macgyversite]

I have gotten this in the past. I just got 32gb. 4 - 8gb sticks. It is B die.

It does 14,14,14,14 3600 on both systems I have it in. a MSI X470 and MSI a X570. It works perfectly here. Posted my highest Synth benchmark on R23.

Most any memory that has its timings less than half the rated speed is B die. Right ? At least thats what that Memory OC guy on youtube says. 3200 16,16,16,16 is not B die. 3200 14 14 14 14 is B die.

 

[Captante]

Apparently Samsung "C" die memory can also do those seriously tight timings although it's not quite as common as with "B" and will often require a bit more juice.

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C18D-64GTZR $229

I don't know if this is a "hot" deal, but I would rank it as a "not horrible" deal, given the premium for 3600, and tridentZ (RGB) RAM.

BTW, I read an estimate that RAM pricing is set to drop 18% soon.

At this point only DDR4 3600mhz sticks are worth buying. Good find, Larry.

At this point only DDR4 3600mhz sticks are worth buying. Good find, Larry.

Note that not all 12100F and 12400F will work reliably at 3600 XMP. They are only officially specced for 3200.

Note that not all 12100F and 12400F will work reliably at 3600 XMP. They are only officially specced for 3200.

The reason why I say 3600mhz sticks. You can clock them up to 3800mhz with no problem and you can clock them down to 3200mhz. Or just stick with 3600mhz. What I do not like about 3200mhz sticks. They cannot always clock up to at least 3600mhz. Most can but you never know. 3600mhz sticks give you that extra measure of safety for achieving desired speeds.

 

[Macgyversite]

Its sorta not about the speed but the speed vs the timing. You might want to find Samsung B Die memory chips. It is the most consistent ram out there for the money. Since most MFGRS dont say what chips they use. The easiest way to see it is the Cas must be less than 50% of the speed. So if its 3600. You dont want 18. You want 16.

This stuff as an example.

That's right, 32GB of DDR4 3200, on a "10-layer" PCB, for under $70???

YES, PLEASE, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?!?

• DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)
• Timing 22-22-22-52
• CAS Latency 22
• Voltage 1.20V

Now I see why these aren't selling, they're actually JEDEC "true" 3200 RAM, @ 1.2v and CAS 22.

Not familiar with JEDEC - is this a bad thing? Reviews are positive - seems manual settings / tweaking might be required?

 

[VirtualLarry]

JEDEC Is "official" standard DRAM speeds, others @ 1.35v are overvolted / OCed RAM (XMP).

$44.99 for 16GB kit of DDR4-3600, Neo Forza

FYI, this is now $3 cheaper at $41.99

 

[manly]

Any reason I shouldn't buy this inexpensive kit? Will prices sink even further before Black Friday?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q3233N3

I have a Kaby Lake laptop from 2017, so higher speed RAM won't do a thing for me. Even this 2666 MHz kit will run at 2400 MHz.

 

[Macgyversite]

I would buy now. It is in stock. A good price is better than it not being in stock or harder to get bc its BF. I usually see lower prices before BF and they actually go up a tad since people buy just bc it is BF. Like Back to School sales are really good.

 

[manly]

Thanks, I went ahead and ordered it. If it drops a few bucks, so be it.

Newegg has the G.SKILL DDR4 3200 at an all-time lowest price currently:

32GB (2x 16) G.SKILL Ripjaws Series DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM Laptop RAM kit $75

The price dropped from $65 to $59, so I played the return/rebuy dance with Amazon. Great deal IMO.
