What ho, component shoppers, there's a small mountain of memory that Mwave has listed for Black Friday, and it's actually the good stuff. Even more amazing, the prices are excellent, with many kits going for hundreds of dollars less than usual. Whatever 'usual' is anymore...
As I'm sure you're well aware, the price and availability of RAM is the big problem for anyone that's not a datacentre at the moment. Jacob explains why this is all going down very well here. The bad news is that things are going to get worse, the worse news is that this crisis will likely last a very long time. Yep, it's shit.
So seeing so many kits going for sane prices is the new abnormal. All week long I've been hunting for memory deals and there's been almost nothing, a deal here and there and that's it. Now Mwave's started the party with an unexpected drop of four whole pages worth of discounted kits. And almost all of them are good.
I've found a couple of standouts. For 32GB kits, there's the Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR5 6000MHz. It's fast, and with good latency, too, at CL 36-44-44. AU$449, down from AU$799.
Another good value 32GB DDR5 kit is this Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB (2x 16GB). It's currently AU$499, down from AU$599. So not quite the discount on offer for the Kingstoin kit, but the final price is still good. It's also 6000MHz, though the latency is CL38, but that's still ok.
If you're after a 16GB kit, these two DDR4 offerings are amazingly priced considering the current crisis. AU$149 for this Team T-Force Delta RGB Series 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3200MHz is excellent, while this Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz is also AU$149, and is a bit faster too.
To see a price drop at a time like this is amazing. This Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB is going for AU$449, down from AU$799 until December 5th. It's XMP 3.0 and EXPO Ready and has decent CL 36-44-44 timings.
Proof that you can still get premium memory at somewhat sane prices, this Team T-Force Delta RGB 32GB kit is AU$499 at Mwave until December 5th. It comes with free shipping too.
Another good Team T-Force kit, this one's a 16GB 3200 DDR4 offering, also from Mwave. It's going for just AU$149 for Black Friday, and through to Dec 5th, or as long as Mwave has stock. There's a limit of two per customer, which is entirely acceptable.
Finding a 3600MHz DDR4 kit at a good price is, well, a find. Mwave has this FURY Beast RGB 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz kit for just AU$149 at the mo', which is AU$50 off. It's a particularly good looking kit too, in our opinion.
Ben thinks he’s probably the most experienced PC gaming editor and writer in Australia. After working on the legendary Hyper magazine in the early 1990s, he founded the even-more-legendary PC PowerPlay mag in 1995, and remained as editor for the first five years during that period of explosive PC gaming evolution. After that he founded Atomic magazine in 2000, shifting his focus a bit more towards PC gaming hardware. After a few years as Atomic editor, Ben took over PC Authority magazine, and is now the editor of APC. He likes 48-hour Sins of a Solar Empire binges when he’s not sitting in his sim racing rig manhandling his precious German equipment.
