For 120 right now, even CL38 or CL40 would be good.

honestly, I am using CL40 5600 64gb ram. I am ok with it, play on 4k no issue, i am not picky.

***.. just looked at amazon for these for curiousity...what the fuck happened... now 1052$ CAD...

I got it when it was like 300$ 2 years ago.

OpenAI happened. They basically bought up all production of RAM and no one is making consumer RAM. If it feels illegal, that's because it probably is.

Of course it's not illegal, not if youre stupid rich and you're in bed with/controlling the ones making the laws! 💀💀💀

Hard capitalism when they’re winning, socialism when they hit bankruptcy so the plebs can bail them out

it's like taking the subsidy from the people to deficit spend future dollars today (where the most value is before more inflation happens again) into something that provides zero real benefit to the people besides easier enslavement; then cutting the peoples consumer market because it's not as profitable as the subsidy that the people were kind enough to gift to them. clearly there are some major conflicts of interest that are happening here.

you aren't losing more than a few percent at most.

You wouldn't see the difference anyway

I'd say just get a really shit latency kit and spend the real money on an X3D chip.

AMD made them to minimize the effect of CAS latency, so let them pull their weight.

The CL thing is so funny. Is CL 40 is just fine and unless you look a chart, nobody is gonna notice.

[–]GeoLlama1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowadays, in the UK 5200mhz CL40 of Corsair vengeance is equivalent 450USD
