DDR3 Deals & Offers

Dont bother i brought this had so many issue keeps powering off, the vrm fans are crap aswell Avoid buying it, it's old hardware

All absolutely true, but I don't think anyone is really claiming otherwise. If you're after, say, a dev database, this might be right up your alley.

Is this one of those Frankenstein motherboards cobbled together from used parts? you may have faith it in it but that just shows your naivety. I would guess you will never have any bios updates, drivers non existent too.

The best part about this is that it's not even an X99 motherboard - it uses a C610 or C612 server chipset (no guarantee of which one you'll get according to the listing)! The board is so stripped down it doesn't even have a temperature sensing chip FFS, and the RAM is of course no-name-brand (almost certainly using manufacturer-rejected memory chips). Russian roulette is a stronger guarantee than this POS. It may "only" be 180 quid, but it's 180 quid of trash.

Lot of KVMs still use PS2 connectors, they tend to work more reliably when switched than USB.

If youre still running a system that uses ddr3 your ram isnt the bottleneck

For DDR3 RAM you should be getting 16GB for around this price. Not 8.

Some 1 might need it

DDR3? (shock)

4 generations older.

On idle maybe. It has 4 less threads and stutters like any 4c4t cpu 2600 otoh is very usable

You have to keep looking at auctions, they come up all the time and always sell around 50-60. If you aren't in a rush it's a much better deal. Also try putting best offers on any that allow that and recently listed.

I literally just looked on recent sold and 6 sold for £50-60 on 9th August with the exact spec I posted. I paid around that price for one earlier this year also they pop up all the time. Look at auction not buy it now, that's where the rip offs sell. Anyone who pays £150 for that spec is a fool

I think you are dreaming mate 6th gen i5 ones are more like £150 not £50, you can get a i3 one for £50.

Currys are terrible through eBay.. they cancelled an order I placed for something else a few weeks ago with no reason and the money has still not been refunded and they ignore messages on eBay

Curry`s really need to sort themselves out... glad you got your refund now. Cheers

Refund issued by eBay. Currys stated that they don’t check what items are inside the boxes when shipping out. Reassuring. Hopefully pick up a Zenbook at some stage.

Thats sad news :(

Update - Curry’s have failed to reply to any messages that I’ve sent. There is a number 01636 595850 which of course they never answer. I’ve no other option but to initiate a return for a refund, and forfeit any claim that they send me the correct item. They of course have Zenbooks for sale but unless I can get speaking to them this is a dead duck. They really are not very good.

Thank you buddy. Ordered!

You are in luck rapssd your Dell and the memory above have both a 2 slots dimm and they run to the same speed.

Hi, are these substantially wider than standard sticks. Currently I have 2x DDR3 sticks in my Dell 9010 MT, and have 2 slots free. I was thinking it buying 4x Corsair sticks to replace but am not sure on their sizes. Thanks

Got it, I'm running an old FX and overclocked, just need more to run call of duty, 8 is not enough, one benifit of running an overclocked 8 core FX and a R9 280x graphics card is you don't need to turn on the heating

For the record I've never said 1600 CL9 was better than 2400 CL11. Regarding the CL or Cas Latency see link bellow https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/reviews/cas-latency-ram-cl-timings-glossary-definition,6011.html I'm sorry if I didn't explain it well but again the lower CL number the better. Also, just to reiterate, I understand this deal is not for everyone my motherboard only allows for ddr3 and maximum speed without overclock is 1600. For people like me getting this specific ram this is a good deal. Try to get any DDR3 ram at any speed these days.

Looks like the memory industry thinks we've forgotten about their dirty price fixing scandal and are bumping the prices back up.

This would be good for the Lenovo m93p tiny desktops.

For laptop almost irrelevant anyway, not like going to be overclocking
