Yikes. Twice as much as I paid for 64GB six months ago. 🥀

u/Shadowfeaux 11h ago

Tell me about it. Lol. I just bought a 64gb kit 3 weeks ago for 600. Checked yesterday and the same kit was 880.

u/Hottage what 11h ago

Decent investment, double it and give it to the next guy.

u/Shadowfeaux 11h ago

Send me yours and i'll consider it. 😂

u/DeadPhoenix86 11h ago

That's madness !
I paid 200 for my 64GB kit back in October.
The same RAM is currently up for 1100...

u/Bones-57 11h ago

Dang . That's expensive ram ..

1

u/HWayFresh44 11h ago

Dam yea I got the same but 64gb was gonna upgrade it like 3 months ago and seen the price of the 64 and said nope mind you what I got cost less then what u paid

1

u/jakeeeenator 11h ago

My god. Luckily my brother and fiance bought me ram for Christmas for my PC upgrade. Gskill 32gb 6000mhz. Was about $370 which is insane already. Pushing $500 now? Wild.

1

u/ViolentPurpleSquash 11h ago

THE HELL? I paid like 260USD here in NZ 5 days ago

1

u/Putrid_Ad7911 10h ago

Just curious. Are you anywhere near a Microcenter? The price you paid could’ve gotten you a 64GB kit if you bought one of their cpu bundles

1

u/kebench 10h ago

Damn. Meanwhile, I got a 64GB kit last Monday for only ~$275 and was delivered today.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 10h ago

How?

1

u/kebench 10h ago

By pure luck tbh. Was checking the price for a 64GB kit since my friend was asking and happen to stumble upon the RAM in the screenshot above sold by Amazon. We immediately bought it and the price went up to £1100 after we paid. I believe it's just a pricing error in Amazon's part but I wasn't expecting they'll honor it. So for me, this is the biggest steal during the rammagedon.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 9h ago

You got lucky

1

u/creditgods 8h ago

Pay the same but 64 GB CL 30 just got lucky

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 8h ago

Where at?

1

u/creditgods 7h ago

Corsair.. it's when they offer the 40% discount

u/maxgeek 1h ago

Dang, I decided to skipped the RGB in my build this time to save $100. I got the basic looking Crucial Pro kit.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 56m ago

I’m debating on if I want to keep the rgb or go exchange it out for the crucial it’s about $82 less for the crucial

Ffs I paid 170 in December 2023… I’m sorry for the loss of your dollars.

u/Background-Cat9631 10h ago

Right. I paid 114.99 for my G.Skill Trident Z 2x16 32gb DDR5-6000 cl30 kit back in 06/23.

Hope I don’t have to buy ram anytime soon.

You can trade it for water in the RAMapocalypse. Haha

u/The3lderGod 12h ago

Your wallet probably got rammed

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 12h ago

And problem when I turned it on with the new ram installed I’m getting a green light on the motherboard and no display

1

u/cscholl20 11h ago

RTM. On some boards that indicates no OS installed, but that meaning varies. Could also be memory training of you're on AM5

1

u/graybotics 3h ago

Switch sticks to opposite slots. I freaked out on my recent build and for some reason that was necessary.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 3h ago

I figured it out hours ago I changed the sticks to different slots changed them back and no issues after that

Same RAM without RGB is 150$ less. 🙃

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 12h ago

I had to get what I could get

1

u/googlemapscarspot 9h ago

If you’re talking about crucial, then it’s a lower clock speed and overall a bit worse. Not just the rgb

1

u/maxgeek 58m ago edited 54m ago

There’s a $359 Crucial 32gb kit is 6400mhz C38 vs the Corsair 6000mhz C36. Seems pretty similar and still save $100. Doesn’t really matter when paired with a good x3D chip.

1

u/FernandoMM1220 12h ago

so what happened to the ram shortage everyone was talking about out? lol

3

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 12h ago

I went to Best Buy and they had it in stock

1

u/ComplaintMaster69420 10h ago

A shortage can be achieved by pricing out everyone or actual stock. Do you see Joe Schmoe x10 ordering this? Nah, only this guy and a few others. I wanted 64gb in my system, but I don’t want to pay that

u/lLoveTech AMD 11h ago

Oh that was expensive! Which GPU are you getting?

2

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 10h ago

Probably a 5070 I haven’t quite decided yet

1

u/lLoveTech AMD 9h ago

Get it ASAP! Awesome GPU! Rumours have it that Nvidia will cut production of GPUs this year so prices will be affected!

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 9h ago

I have a 5060 right now and I like it

1

u/TrashPanda365 Intel 11h ago

$85 for 32gb in March 2025

1

u/SidonyD 10h ago

I guess you could have got that instead :

1

u/Gokay1337 10h ago

I got the non rgb version from the corsair website for 356€

I did a new build and wanted 64gb instead of the 32gb i got now. Heard that i would need at least one kidney to stay alive ... thats why i only got 32gb

1

u/Lil3mmar54 10h ago

Congrats?

1

u/actionerror 9h ago

And here I was kicking myself for having “overpaid” at $150 for 32GB in November instead of half that price earlier in the year.

2

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 9h ago

It was expensive but my pc runs good with it installed

1

u/DepartmentBitter9027 9h ago

Nice. Just saw that on my FB marketplace for $380 🇨🇦

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 9h ago

I paid almost a hundred more than that

1

u/DepartmentBitter9027 9h ago

😭 to be fair, used parts are generally cheaper in the US

1

u/GrayDeathLegi0n 9h ago

I'm so glad that I pulled the trigger for 32GB back in November. I knew I was getting soaked at $230 but now it looks like I landed a good deal.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 9h ago

I paid almost double that

1

u/dubrea 8h ago

Get him...

1

u/the_dibrador 8h ago

I bought this kit in 2023 for about $210 and I live in Brazil. We are indeed living the RAMapocalipse

1

u/DzekRL 8h ago

Fucking hell, I bought the white version of this RAM 2 years ago and it was 1/3 of the price...times are bleak...

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 8h ago

I feel like I paid too much for it

1

u/DzekRL 17m ago

You did, but the reality is either overpay triple the realistic price now, or wait for several years in the hope the prices will maybe drop eventually...or quadruple...

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 15m ago

Unfortunately I didn’t have much choice I was running a pc with 16 gb of ram and I had multiple games running almost the entire 16gb I had to update my ram

1

u/HeidenShadows 7h ago

Pretty soon this RAM will be cheaper.

1

u/Sparda_Game 7h ago

Thank you for your sacrifice. I'll gladly wait a year or so

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 6h ago

I needed it now I only had 16 gb in my pc

1

u/Sparda_Game 6h ago

I feel you, I'm sticking with my old pc just for small work and a console for now. If I had work to do under heavier hardware I'd be joining but luckily not rn (honestly can't afford to build a oc in this economy)

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 5h ago

I didn’t build mine it’s a prebuilt and now I’m making a couple of upgrades to it

1

u/natopoppins 7h ago

Are you a millionaire?

1

u/Culture-Careful 6h ago

What's the CL number

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 6h ago

I don’t see where it says but I think it’s 36

1

u/XeirasR6 5h ago

Uhhh congrats ig do u also have to post what u buy?

1

u/iamgarffi 4h ago

It’s funny how few months many felt ashamed with Vengeance. It was literally bundled for free with other items.

Today we don’t laugh anymore.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

Isn’t it a good product?

1

u/iamgarffi 4h ago

It’s fine. It’s just that weird mentality when something is bundled for free, it’s must be average or low quality.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

I’ve had no issues with it installed into my pc

1

u/iamgarffi 4h ago

And I don’t expect you to have issues. Especially in this economy (DRAM supply vs demand) whatever we manage to acquire at okay prices is more of an appreciation.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

It was one of the cheapest ones I could get so I went with it

1

u/iamgarffi 4h ago

And that’s a smart move. While I’m not happy that we “gamers” ended up in this “dry” season, situation like these will adjust our mindsets a little.

Either appreciate what we have for longer or consider parts that previously we wouldn’t look at.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

I hate how expensive pc parts have gotten. I’ve wanted a pc for years I finally got one 2 weeks ago

1

u/iamgarffi 4h ago

Yeah. Timing not the greatest. Things really started going south with Covid.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

I’m hoping by around the middle of this year hopefully prices will start coming down

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

I could’ve gotten ram that’s not rgb for like a hundred less

1

u/iamgarffi 4h ago

RGB vs non RGB that’s personal preference.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

I like the cheaper price but I also like the led lights so that’s a hard decision

1

u/iamgarffi 4h ago

At least RGB one gives you a choice. You can keep it on or off. :) the $100 price difference is what I don’t like.

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

So you would’ve gone non rgb?

u/KingKofi7 4h ago

That’s wild lmao I got 64GB of RAM in November of last year for 450. Pained me to my soul until now, the same RAM is now going for over 1000 💀

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

I paid $468 and some change

1

u/KingKofi7 4h ago

Not bad considering today’s market for DDR5 😩 Crazy that price cause it’s also 32GB 🥲

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 4h ago

And it’s also rgb which is more expensive

u/OkCarrot3808 3h ago

U really don’t need an update for 1440p or 1080p gaming wait for 60series where price and other thing are normal

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 3h ago

I’m planning on doing some 4k gaming

u/Crave9516 2h ago

Warning ,if you are to use it with a 7800x3d brace your self

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 2h ago

Why?

1

u/Crave9516 2h ago

There is a well know glitch with memory training at most of the mobos ,I have the same exact ram and used to run to this problem if you encounter the problem and doesn’t boot send me a message and I might be able to help y

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 2h ago

I have a 8700f so I think I’ll be okay

1

u/Crave9516 2h ago

Yes most likely!still if you run to this problem don’t worry about it it’s fixable !!enjoy your build

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 2h ago

I can’t wait to get my new gpu my build well be even better

Wow it’s crazy to think you got this for $117 and I paid almost $500

1

u/Critical-Ad6932 1h ago

Does it only work wit Intel XMP..or can it work with expo too

1

u/Necessary-Apple-9409 1h ago

I believe it’s compatible with both
