Corsair Deals & Offers

I got one in white. Very good case. It is tempting to buy lookalike cases but they let down by a poor quality finish. Look for the corners and edges, paint will easily flake or show defects.

For sure, easy to build in case too

Paid £49.50 for this a while back, without a damaged box. Really good case though.

Gutted that I paid 80 for mine but it's a really nice clean case, I have 2 data ssd's and 1 mechanical HDD + an m2 drive. All fits nice and cables are easy to manage.

I just use mine for gaming now mate ahaha, it was originally built for where I work but someone new started who only really liked mac so i snapped it up real quick (lol) . So happy with that because i spent so long picking the parts and looking at all the Adobe etc suites and what parts would be best to do xyz, definitely fate in came into my hands (lol) . If you want i can price up how much it costs to build my system now days?

Great advice mate, I will wait for real 10 gen reviews. I need it for professional use, so less about flashiness but more about reliable continuous power-horse productivity. Adobe After Effects (multiple layers), Unreal engine, 3DS Max etc What do use your beast for?

Both amd and intel is safe choice fella. I think maybe give it a week or two until more 10th gen reviews are out. And i don't have any temperature concerns with my current case, only thought about upgrading to something else because of it being more flashy if that makes sense? I find airflow fine tbf. I looked at the COOLERMASTER MASTERCASE H500M MESH but only because it's flashy if that makes sense? Are you building one for hobby use or professional use? What kind of video resolution are you looking at?

Thanks. I agree, I’m going for the Intel mate - safe choice! Now the question is, do I go for the i9 9th gen (9900k) or the new 10th gen? I believe we need more GHz than cores. I guess, having the top components is great but pointless when the case traps in heat and therefore degrading the performance, rendering, exporting etc. So regarding your case how do you find the airflow? Which £200+ case are you considering? Really appreciate your advice mate.

Mine arrived today from Amazon. Incredibly impressed with it.

I have this. It's great.

Thanks, ordered the Amazon one!

Thanks. Good for those hot summer days where your forearms stick to the desk.

Little bit off topic. Gamers Nexus just released this mat. Unfortunately shipping to UK is almost $14, half the price of Mat. https://store.gamersnexus.net/products/gn-wireframe-mouse-mat If anyone interested, we can band together to order 2 or more and split the cost.

Can't be any worst then the awful Verbatim pinstripe, can it?

Bought 2 and had to send one back after formatting it it became write protected still awaiting a reply after sending it back

I've bought refurbished Corsair before, only USB drive to ever fail on me (and a few of mine have been through a full wash cycle and survived!). Once returned and replaced, the replacement died too, I just gave up on that one. Don't think I can trust Corsair USB Drives again. :-(

Hence why it’s always good to keep 10-20% free at all times!

I had problems with 2 of my products from Mymemory. Well, no problems, but there were a bit different than the description. I contacted them and in within 24h I've received the reply. They refunded for one of the products and told me to keep it, while for the 2nd one they sent me a label and I've posted it, received the money back once the postman scanned it as sent. I think you can also print the label from their site.

MSI gaming Pro carbon ac. I can't remember why I picked that one.

What motherboard do you use? I'm unsure which to go for

Basically yes.

Thanks!

On Ryzen platform which is much more susceptible to memory timings and speed. Intel is not so sensitive.

Bought these for the same price back in October... were they OoS?

Ah I had the other thread open at the same time ;( (lol) I do mean .de sorry

Yes, these are E69 from Amazon.de. E4 post, max 3 sets per customer. I ordered yesterday and they are coming today, so i assume UK Amazon and Germany are using the same source... They worked out at 209 euros delivered inc P&P, so 209/3 = 69.66 each all-in. In GBP it's about £61.10 which isn't bad. (working on rate of 1.14) They are only CL16 units though... so overclock headroom will be less than with CL15 modules.

Is this a new thing? Just tried with starling but got this total Its ok, i think you mean from Amazon.de I think both of these are shipping from Germany as both are saying Friday as delivery date

Prices have steadily risen since the start of the year. I bought 32GB 3200MHz Patriot DDR4 for £129 in January, a few weeks before 32GB was around £100, now it seems to be around £160 mark. Presumably it will rise, especially when the massive unprecendent economic collapse kicks in by around October this year.

Latency expressed in CL works out in actual time based on the frequency. At 3600mhz cl18 equals 10ns just like cl15 at 3000mhz so this is actually fine- higher data throughput and the same latency. Having said that i bought crucial ballistix sport lt back in feb on a deal from here and currently am running them at 3800mhz cl16 so for some sticks there is quite a bit of performance to be extracted at a good price.

Was the ram on the QVL?

These are currently €66.90 on amazon.de, with delivery comes up as £66-£67.

I don't like the latency on this ram,, personally I would get crucial 3200mhz ram.. Lower latency and you could potentially push it to 3600mhz. I also had corsair vengeance rgb Pro the other day and it simply wouldn't boot with anything higher than 2133mhz on my asrock x570.. Got the crucial Ballistix rgb ram and it worked instantly

Looking at getting the ASRock steel legend B450. Not going for the 4000 series when they come out so likely not going to get B550 tbh

Great choice, what board?

I'm looking at them getting the 3300x and pairing it with 2 X 8GB 3600 C16. Heard 3600 will work well with the 3300x

If anyone is upgrading to Ryzen and is looking for RAM, please choose faster than this

Just so you lot know with Prime, I ordered the 3200 set on Thursday from Germany and it arrived on Saturday. Puts our royal mail company to shame with whats going on.

Sorry I meant to say it’s an Imac desktop

No good I'm afraid. You need DDR3 sodimm (specific for laptops). I'm surprised they used DDR3 in 2015 though! Really need the model number.

Hi all Im looking to upgrade my Mac late 2015 ram would this be any good and is it a ddr3 ?? I’m not good with rams and the tech stuff so your help would greatly be appreciated

Well explained although the performance varies depending on the use and it's not necessarily worse. To expand on it slightly: RAM performance depends on data throughput (which increases with frequency) and latency (where smaller is better and it decreases as the the frequency goes up and the timings get lower. Some tasks favour throughput other latency, but both are important. Frequency is especially important with Ryzen where the Infinity Fabric clock is linked to RAM (up to 3800MHz on ryzen 3000) which affect performance.. The basic formula is (CAS latency/RAM clock speed) x 2000 = CAS latency in nanoseconds Here's a calculator if someone wants to try this out: https://notkyon.moe/ram-latency.htm Basically 3000MHz CL15 and 3600MHz CL18 Both give 10ns of latency, so 3600MHz CL19 will have higher data throughput but sligltly worse latencies. than 3000MHz CL15 kits. Overall fine for the price if you don't overclock and own a Ryzen CPU, but I do overclock so personally I'd also take the Crucials too. I got the older LTs 3000MHz from a deal posted here back in Jan in Feb and got them running at 3800 C16

Yes, speed can go up. Ryzen 3000 is far better at RAM handling than previous gens and 4 sticks vs 2 sticks can improve things sometimes. This is an interesting watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhMYmEu8gks 2 sticks is preferred when trying to push overclocks because it's easier to manage and control 2 sticks as opposed to 4, but apart from that, there doesn't seem to be much difference. What would be far worse is running single channel RAM, that has quite a sizeable impact on performance.

I’m currently using 2400mhz with my Ryzen 1700x, would I see much benefit from upgrading to this?

No. same ram

Thanks for the replies everyone (y)

Total PC novice here... Is there a difference between the Scan and Amazon products?: https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/corsair-lpx-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3600-c18-memory-kit-8826-at-amazon-3460994

In synthetic benchmarks yes. In game difference much clearly visible. Buy it and test it yourself
