What ho, component shoppers, there’s a small mountain of memory that Mwave has listed for Black Friday, and it’s actually the good stuff. Even more amazing, the prices are excellent, with many kits going for hundreds of dollars less than usual. Whatever ‘usual’ is anymore…
As I’m sure you’re well aware, the price and availability of RAM is the big problem for anyone that’s not a datacentre at the moment. Jacob explains why this is all going down very well here. The bad news is that things are going to get worse, the worse news is that this crisis will likely last a very long time. Yep, it’s shit.
So seeing so many kits going for sane prices is the new abnormal. All week long I’ve been hunting for memory deals and there’s been almost nothing, a deal here and there and that’s it. Now Mwave’s started the party with an unexpected drop of four whole pages worth of discounted kits. And almost all of them are good.
I’ve found a couple of standouts. For 32GB kits, there’s the Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR5 6000MHz. It’s fast, and with good latency, too, at CL 36-44-44. AU$449, down from AU$799.
Another good value 32GB DDR5 kit is this Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB (2x 16GB). It’s currently AU$499, down from AU$599. So not quite the discount on offer for the Kingstoin kit, but the final price is still good. It’s also 6000MHz, though the latency is CL38, but that’s still ok.
If you’re after a 16GB kit, these two DDR4 offerings are amazingly priced considering the current crisis. AU$149 for this Team T-Force Delta RGB Series 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz is excellent, while this Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz is also AU$149, and is a bit faster too.
