No it's not, still €86 for the same 16GB kit i bought a year and a half ago.

Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G32C16U4W

Lowest for that kit was €58 back in August 2020.

So? You will pay more still but your 12700k/13700k will be faster using ddr5.

Team Elite 16GB x2 Hynix M-die is 220$ on Amazon. Overclocks easy to 6800-7000mhz.

Hynix A-die 16GB x2 is about 300$ (scalper price) , and overclocks to about 7800-8000mhz...

The best DDR5 is cheap if you actual know what you are buying
Plz educate me through this. I would love to know a thing or two regarding this. I did some back in the day when samsung b die was just retiring. Got a pair of cheap hynix cjr kits.

with over 2x price premium lol
that is more than 13600->13700 difference.

better buy a sku up than gain a few percent with ddr5
13700 + ddr4> 13600+ddr5,cost will be the same,actually lower if you already own some ddr4

it sucks amd is not giving the option to use ddr4, new cpus are still plenty fast without ddr5 and the money savings are substantial.

Upgrading from 4770k should be nice Looks like Amd 7 series and Intel 13 series is both nice choices
