Corsair Deals & Offers

So just to clarify this CAS timing stuff and compare two recent deals, this 8GBx2 3000MHz C15 RAM (15/3000 = 5) is as fast as 8GBx2 3200MHz C16 RAM (16/3200 = 5)? However as the Front Side Bus on the motherboard runs at whatever the clock speed of the RAM is, so a faster clock by using the 3200MHz RAM above would mean overall better performance?

Great Spot, heat added!

Good price for the speed and size.

Good spot, hot (y)

congratulations on your first post.heat added :)

Might be the cheapest it's ever been, but still overpriced compared to other ram deals lately

Oooo I've got 16GB of this already Mmmm !

Remember the good old days of running at 2, 2, 2, 6 1T timings (with a mobile Athlon XP CPU under a Thermalright SLK-700 heatsink with tip magnetic drive fan)? Times have fairly changed!

The LPX is different type of ram I have the 3000 LPX now its great stuff i paid 89.99 for it in Jan 2017

On box too Here is the link.

Those benchmarks really helped, thanks

Higher clock seems more effective and then lower latency has a little benefit on top of that. Results are a little hit and miss depending on what game you play (if you game) where some see a somewhat fair boost, others see minimal improvements. Intel and Ryzen benchmark examples: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Core_i7_8700K_Coffee_Lake_Memory_Performance_Benchmark_Analysis/9.html https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_Memory_Analysis/9.html So while it might be worth going above the top end, I also wouldn't recommend blowing budget on the really high end that are way too expensive.

Understood - thanks

The basic is CAS/MHZ X 1000 CAS/MHZ X 1000 = access time in ns(lower the better). so for this Ram is 16/3000*1000=5.33 NS, so if you have a low latency ram of say 12 CAS(CL) @ 2400 MHZs, its actually better than this one above. There is more complicated stuff which influence the final outcome(which i dont understand) but this should enough to find out which ram is better also faster RAM is better for APU because it use RAM as video RAM. like the video RAM of a dedicated GPU

Thank you - why is that though?

Thank you for this, i finally have 16gb due to this comment at an okay price.

eBay.

bargain, I think Maplin was selling DDR1 1gb for a similar price

Where?

funny isn't it how tech moves on wasn't that long ago we were putting a Dairy Milk Family Bar inside (:I

Magnetic levitation fans all the way now.. post a deal when they're on sale!

Same price at currys, or was when i picked them up 2 days ago.

The difference between this and the deepcool kit (the only cheap kit worth looking at) is only a few £'s, and its worth the few pounds more. Reason why these HD ones are starting to drop in price is the 'new' ML RGB kits kind of fill this kits spot, but are a lot better in every way - but they are £80 for 3 fans.

I don't mind rgb but my issue is that it should be standardised so there is a universal input. There is so many different manufacturers and everyone has there own software which is mostly incompatible with everything else.

no more RGB!

yo.

I got the same for £62.39 each on Amazon back in October. Didn't think they'd actually honour it but they arrived a month later. :o Sold two of the sticks for £100 profit cause I really don't even need 32GB, let alone 64GB. ;)

Oos now but in a month that will be the regular price

Heat. Hoping to pick up 2x16Gb of this very stuff when prices drop a little further. Now just need to find a decent Ryzen 2700x deal...

Just waiting for the prices to drop to 2016 prices, Corsair CMK32GX4M4A2400C14 Vengeance LPX 32GB kit was £130. Shame about the factory suffering such a loss.

ddr3, 2014 test? 4 years is an eternity

Dual-channel still makes a significant difference on Intel systems in gaming. It depends on the game, but titles like Fallout 4 and The Division really do benefit - and games like Battlefield 1: It's not just benchmark numbers - it does make a noticeable difference.

Not much difference between 16GB and 32GB for gaming which is probably what they meant.

Thanks, I'm glad you posted this or I would have had to.

The cable and sensor are turd.

Ordered Thanks. (y)

Mine beeps before it's about to die, haven't even used the mic lol. I mostly just play single player games, I don't like the Logitech headphones as it looks like it's build with plastic. I have had a bad experience with plastic headphones.. I have had these for a few months and my hyperx clouds which I have had for years still work. I think they both use aluminum frame. I still think the HS70 sounds better than the cloud which people thought was better than the g930.

I've got the H70 wireless and the mic and drivers are far worst than my old Logitech G930, also the H70 never ever gives a warning letting you know your headset is about to die. Mid game that's a pain in the bum when you can't hear your being shot at.. XD I image this has the same removable Mic as the H70, which is not ideal. You have to place that mic just right otherwise it picks up your breathing, too far away it obviously makes you sound like your talking from a distance. Folks on discord are always complaining about mine. Never had that issue ever with my old Logitech.

Amazing price, yes the keyboard is membrane but has full RGB lighting and anti ghosting. I've used the Harpoon RGB mouse for a year and its been great! I've also got the HS70 headset (same design just wireless) and its incredible!

It's a very high quality mechanical keyboard at a good price for what it is.

Nice find, thanks!

That was the K70 Mk1 the K70 Mk2 was £119.99.

K70 rgb was £90 on Black Friday so this is not a good deal.

Most expensive .

This isn't the lowest price ever for these as Currys had them for 30 quid but camelcamelcamel doesn't see that, I can ever post a screenshot of my receipt.

Why can't they ever discount the maglevs! :( Been on my camel watchlist forever..

I'm a fan of these

Lol, the case doesn't come with any exhaust fans. So I needed at least one fan, a single SP120 was £15. It made more sense to buy the 3 pack with extra controller for £37 as I then I had spare parts. I decided to use all 6 fans as there's no harm in the extra airflow and looks cool all linked up to my Mystic Light settings through my motherboard.

Are these fans noisey or silent?

Or alternatively buy a useful component such as a 500GB SSD lol.

It is because they come with the light node. Not my cup of tea but someone must be buying them.

What i was thinking.

wow those are some expensive fans

Expired

Thank you (y) (y)

Could do mate, I personally think the sound is quality and the hs60’s can only be better than the 50’s so good luck with them mate :)

Thanks for reply. Tried all that, after messing around witch pc settings I got it to work. However, there is a issue with the sound sometimes. Might return it and go for the hs60s for £15 more

Try unplugging and push mic all way in takes abit to push it all way in

Now £118.17

Ram seems to be falling and they expect it to continue to fall for at least the next quarter and maybe longer. There is more capacity coming onlne, but also reduced demand from things like mobile phones. You can follow ram stories on things like gamers nexus. What I have noticed is reductions have been very slow. I wouldnt buy it till you actually need it. It is getting closer to the sub £100 area though and if you are intel then slower ram is adequate, but Ryzen you should be looking at 3,000- 3200 imo.

the vulcan ram has been £100 for ages. dont forget OC have like £10 postage as well.

Cheers I’m trying to build on a budget so might go for the Vulcan RAM. Just need to order before price goes back up

yeah that would makes sense. for me I might as well buy the same. Thanks
