DDR3 Deals & Offers

ouch my mistake. Indeed you cant on this particular one , Even is usff , usually there is a riser card for expansion cards, i thought is one of those, but on this model it doenst have any kind of expansion slot , just 2 slots of ram . So for others "IS NOT POSSIBLE TO ADD A GPU"

This is a usff, not an sff, is that definitely possible?

Not a bad kids gaming pc then tbf.

yes you can add a gpu later, but only a low profile one with no external power need it , although the choices are slim

Cheers mate

Unbelievably irrelevant comments above, if your computer takes DDR3 then this is a good set of RAM. Okay DDR4 is newer/better but if you motherboard doesn't support it then it would be a waste of time and money to upgrade your motherboard for the little difference it'll make. Please everyone do ignore the toxic comments above, I know people are bored in this lockdown but come on guys (annoyed)

Ive found DDR3 is selling for £50+ on ebay so no not half price

Not a bad price at all if you want ddr3. Maybe not the bargain of the century, but it wasn't long ago that ddr4 was way more expensive and now that ddr3/ddr4 are similar in price it doesn't mean everyone suddenly has mobo to fit those cheap ddr4 sticks into. I am still using my top of the range Intel ivybridge because it works and I am better off investing money in a gpu apart from that it all works well and will continue to...

Great I'll just fit some DDR4 to my Asus Z97 motherboard.

Yeah, not too say ddr3 is bad if your pc supports it but... I would never spend this on ddr3 now, £24ish for 16gb used and it works the exact same

And me pls I need a new provider

Thanks for posting something about illegal streaming Great read. IPTV is not all illegal? you understand this yes?

IPTV isn't illegal. Please google And Seek help.

Away and boil your head you tube!!

That's my point, no one is going to want 2x2gb or 4x2gb sticks now, that's why I said the use case will be very limited (if it even exists). You mention old workstations like Dell's but the ram won't work in those and if it does, it will clock itself down as they don't support XMP or clock changing in the BIOS.

Same here.The 2 year warranty is great as is the expiry date on vouchers they give.I'll expire before mine does! Got an i3 2120 for £6.50 delivered as none in stock locally.Cheaper than Ebay. Would have got some more DDR3 memory from them, but was lucky enough to win an Ebay auction for 4gb for less than the cost of 2 x 2gb from CEX (and nearly half the cost of what they sell 4gb for) :D

I have a CeX within a mile of me so that’s what I do. I got the i5-4590S from there too. eBay is fine for components but you never know what you’re getting, with CeX you have easy returns and 2-year warranty. They were better still when they did free postage on everything.

Yes, CEX is the place for cheap DDR3 and some Intel i3 and i5 cpus. 2 x 2gb sticks will set you back £4 if you are lucky enough to have them in a nearby store Also Ebay is good for ram and cpu's if you get the right auction. ;)

With an i5-4690K and wants 2x2GB sticks? I have a compact PC I use for gaming with an i5-4590S and installed 2x8GB in it because it’s cheap as chips now. Anyone with a high-end DDR3 machine has almost definitely populated all the slots or filled it with lots of RAM by now. CeX are the go-to for cheap DDR3.

Dang, missed out. Perfect for me, still using my old rig thanks to macbook pro random shutdowns. Wont be going Apple ever again. But this ram would have kicked my pc up to date.

Spot on analysis there (highfive)

Obsolete, lol. The fact that that this deal expired so quickly shows some of us still use it. (nerd)

Expired.

Back in stock

I bought this PC last time it was on sale a few weeks ago. You can install a second 2.5" HDD (maximum capacity 2TB) with this caddy that I bought from Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01EY50UL0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Hope that helps anyone who wants to add additional storage.

Um... yeah, you're right. So used to seeing the SFF with low-profile slots on HUKD. 200W is enough headroom for a GTX 1050 Ti LP though (about 70W full-load). But Lenovo does have a weird power limit on the PCIe slots of around 35-40W on some machines.

Ha, yup you're right.

very good spec for the money....

Interested in clearing out that wardrobe? I’m in the market for 16GB DDR3 1600.

Pretty poor even for DDR3, 1600 or 1866 was the most common go-to. That said, I'm surprised people would pay this much. I have 2x8GB DDR3 1866 collecting dust in my wardrobe (lol)

90 odd on ebuyer, 75 on ebay, but as low as 43... good price to freshen up an old board

very good for ddr3 (y)

Sold out

Thanks OP - always worth checking HUKD for this sort of thing (y) actually slightly cheaper now ~45 & was able to use a 5off voucher so a decent upgrade for 40-ish quid!

had 32gb total of these running in my Dell XP laptop for about the past 8-9 years and they've been running great :)..... and trust me, back then they cost me a boat load more than this !

Thanks OP. Just in time when I was about to look for one. Ordered for my testing ThinkPad X230. Would be nice upgrade from 8GB or 16GB.

Yes, I use this in my Mac mini 2012

Yeah I had trouble running at 2400 until I manually set the timings as a 4790k is technically supported by 1600, some CPU's will happily run it but some are picky like mine.

I had an alert on fleabay. I wouldn't recommend 2666Mhz over 2400Mhz though as I have been having problems finding stable timings due to the IMC limits. I've not tested that precisely, CL10 Vs CL11, but I've seen that each CL step down is almost, but not quite the same performance boost as the next step up in MHz.

My DDR3 2400Mhz is CL10

I have a similar set up with an 4690k. Ive been looking at ram upgrade, what sticks did you buy? Is there much real world difference between cl10 and cl17 (@2400)

I had it at 4.7 but didn't see the point for the extra heat, not much difference to be honest and I run 24/7 with 4.4 and has been rock solid, you can only polish a turd so much before it just becomes shiny turd ;-)

FFS, I just bought 16gb of Corsair vengeance for 64 quid. My i2500k still feels pretty nippy for what I do and the ram seems to work well with the 8gb I had originally 8)

If you are binning off your creaky old 4790k I'll give you a tenner.

Pretty pointless spending upwards of £50 on a DDR3 RAM on an ageing machine. Rather sell the PC and get a new one. It will last a lot longer and will be a massive improvement over an old PC. DDR4 3000 can be had for nearly this price. And if you still want DDR3 because you cant sell, then just get used DDR3 RAM. Much cheaper and reliable just like new ones.

Not 100% sure, I think probably 2nd gen.

What processor is it? Like what gen

now showing £129.77

Not seen this stuff in a while

Looks like it alright. Found out after I linked a mate that was hunting DDR3 :) Nice find regardless Brutes

£46.79? Only 10 left in stock? Old RAM gets expensive, if you still running DDR3 and want more RAM to keep all those HUKD tabs open, now might be the time.

Good deal, thank you Brutes. Think I may have just bought the last one at this price :)

Lowest price I can see for 8gb of 12800. Hopefully these will do nicely for upgrading my workplace desktops. Thanks OP

Ordered for my HP Elite 8300, thanks Op.

But if you buy online and it doesn't work, they have to refund you cash. Instore they only refund voucher. Pretty sure CEX have no concept of DDR3 versus DDR3L, so if upgrading Broadwell, Skylake (and even some Haswell) laptops, 1.5V DDR3 might not work at all.

You might find some in store, ordering online will be a lottery. Personally i've had bad luck with RAM and CEX

You need Crucial 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR3L-1600 SODIMM. Dont know if the L after DDR3 makes a difference. There are PC experts who could give you a more definitive answer.

are the sticks from cex matched - i need 4x8gb dimm but worried i may get 4 different incompatible sticks from them?

any good deals about for dimms of this type?

Be careful a lot of that RAM from China is overclocked used memory and not the brand on the label or heat spreader. They also flash the SPI chip so it IDs as a different brand and faster memory timings than the ram really supports so in effect they are overclocked if you use those profiles and may not be stable. I'm not trying to poop on this deal but it's a real problem and not sure if it's worth the risk.

It was from a seller similar to this one. Came within about 2wks, packaged as you would expect it to be. Installed it and worked fine. Main reason was to speed up my system, and I can definitely see a difference going from 8 to 16gb! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/64G-32GB-16GB-8GB-4G-DDR3-1333-1600-1866-2133-2400Mhz-RAM-For-HyperX-FURY-Lot-UK/382915785580?hash=item59278f336c%3Am%3AmHxuqJozL1KLoakrn0WHIgg&LH_BIN=1%7C1

That's why I posted this deal. I have i4790 (not even k version) paired with 16GB DDR3 ram and even it's 5 years old tech it's still really fast and capable of running recent games. For people with similiar setup but only 4 or 8 GB it's a fast and cheap upgrade without spending hundrents of £££ for new mobo, proc and memory - they can focus on uprading their graphics card instead, where it will benefit more in-games performance.

Link?

I bought an 8gb stick of this from eBay brand new for £23ish quid the other week. Still available at this price there.

Why wpuldnt you just buy an 8GB stick from CEX? Isnt that better than upgrading from 8 to 24m

Plus your 8GB of RAM would be worth something if you sold it.

I think you if have an older, higher end CPU(basically, an i7), but are sitting on 8GB of RAM and that is becoming your main pain point in terms of performance for modern apps/games, then £60 to upgrade and remove that bottleneck is not a bad idea. Building a whole new system(or just new CPU/mobo/RAM) would obviously be preferable, but well, that's of course much more expensive. If this can extend your upgrade cycle by a year or two, then that's arguably entirely worth it, and will allow you to buy better equipment for the money when it does come time to upgrade. I always recommend pushing out upgrades as much as you can bear for that reason. So basically think of it like a small-ish upgrade now in order to get a bigger upgrade later. Obviously not everybody will want to do this, but it has its merits.

I'm with JohnnyRoller on this one. I don't see the point of upgrades for old tech. Each to their own i suppose, but i upgraded from fm2+ to am4 and it didnt cost a penny all because prices are all over the place and the old tech wasn't losing value. Oh and i didnt upgade to a slower system before anyone asks. Not voted cold on this deal though.

Either way you are still very limited for upgrades by staying with the old tech. It's understandable that you would be reluctant to do a full upgrade (especially if you have high spec components), however it's worth it as your current parts will always still sell well enough.

Perhaps for the order you have already placed, but all the "Deals" are showing as out of stock. The only stuff they have in stock is full price. Worse than argos for listing stuff they dont have!!

Must have some stock, I have had a UPS delivery alert for this tomorrow.

sorry, all i see is a company who keep items listed on their site with a nice sold out image over them to hide the fact they havent got stock of anything!

This company has such good prices, once a deal is posted you have to be very quick.

Yesterday similar specs with AIO lenovo for 162

Can anyone recommend a cheap graphics card with hdmi to suit this please?

I’m hoping once it’s fitted out it will Be ok to run mine craft

BACK IN STOCK!! :D

Hot. Screw paying for netflix, get a keyboard with mouse pad and plug this sucker into your telly. There are hundreds of free streaming sites with all your fave hbo, netflix, amazon, hulu, amc, fx, star etc etc shows on. Sure you may need to close afew popups and maybe use a vpn sometimes but hey it's all free and far more choice. Not to mention you still have torrents to fall back on.

With today's sick prices I'm trying to max out my Z97 config. Broadwell i7 5775c CPU, 16GB of fast DDR3 and GTX 980Ti/1070 is my target. Much cheaper than getting new PC.

all the ram does is a swap of info with the VRAM ready for the next action. Done some tests in the past with 2 sticks of 2gb 1333mh, rx480 CF x8gb VRAM each and did not feel a minimal difference between 4gb and 2133mhz 32gb on a BF1. It made the difference when I went down to a single stick of 2gb, it crashed easily once in the game. Obviously 2gb is the minimum needed to hold w10 and nothing left for anything else. Obviously if you go for a new system make a sensible CPU upgrade with 16gb ram 2x8gb or 2x4gb(minimum) or 4x4gb if in 4 channels. For editing, the more ram the better

Sorry for the confusion, read too quickly saw 2400Mhz and failed to read the DDR3 bit....senior moment lol

Thanks, I was wondering myself lol (highfive)

My mistake I read 2400Mhz and failed to notice it was DDR3, assumed it was DDR4

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

Out of stock, not surprising!
