Idiots. I just bought another 8GB of ddr3 (which was twice as expensive as the first 8) to make my system last a bit longer because DDR4 memory prices are crazy. The only way to protest at high prices is not buying so they're just going to penalise the whole industry.

they want current ram pricing to stick and become the new normal, I wish them many fires and floods, hopefully the chinese get into the game

for perspective, low production hard to find intel compatible ddr2 4gb dimms (high density ics)are the same price or cheaper than ddr4 per gb, which is bonkers. I can hardly believe it.

I guess I'm waiting for DDR5.

I was thinking of getting more memory but when I looked at the prices I was kind of blown away to be honest, I guess this move is so they can keep the memory prices at the current very high inflated levels for as long as possible.

It will probably be 20% more expensive due to new process manufacturing and being the new thing bla bla bla If you're satisfied with what you have, don't buy. If you need new stuff to work and enjoy, you have no option but to buy the best deal you can find.

Eh, this is just ridiculous. I bought 16GB DDR4 for about 80$ two years ago and I thought I'm gonna upgrade to 32GB this year but I refuse to pay double. Same crap as HDD pricing scam all over again. I guess I have to wait.

I'll tell it again... My body is completely ready for an i5 9600 with an H390 M/B. But I refuse to pay such prices for DDR4 and I truly mean it. The only way I can see this going forward is only if I get a 2x4GB pair at 2666Mhz ( the normal Mhz supported by the CPU ). Nothing more. Despite being somewhat low. But then again, wel'll see. I might don't jump the gun in the upgrade and it's the first time that I mean it. Don't get me wrong and won't be liar, I'm really sad, though and I seriously want to proceed with the upgrade. The good thing is that I get to keep my 2 Samsung 850 SSDs, my Case, my gold modular power supply and I hope my cheap cooler EVO 212 Plus hoping will feet. Does anyone know if it's gonna feet? P.S. In case I do the upgrade, later the only thing I'll add will be an m.2 SSD for the Games. I also like the integrated USB 3.1 Gen 2. The M/B I'll pick will certainly have I219V Intel Ethernet and 1220 Realtek Codec. The initial upgrade, M/B, CPU and DDR4 hope it will in the 400-450 spectrum. Otherwise it's again a no-no case. Like my currenlt i5 4690 22nm, I get the felling the i5 9600 will be last of the 14nm architecture -the most optimized one. I like that.

Just an unrelated question to this thread, but is the EVO 212 an good cpu cooler? I've been having some troubles with my Antec H2O 620 watercooler and have been looking at other types of cpu coolers and was just wondering what your opinion of the EVO 212 is.

Matey, I'm extremely satisfied for the price I paid. And of course it's like day and night from the stock cooler. Also the fan It has is excellent... Big and totally quiet. Idle temps is like ever other cooler out there, the very expensive ones, too. And when I put stress to my 4690 with games, NEVER exceed 60-63 temps ( good stressing, not games like Dota2 ). And don't forget we're talking for Intel CPU with thermal paste. Best 29,99 euros I paid. When I stressed the CPU with prime the temps were 70-72 only. What else would you want for such a cheap but good nevertheless cooler. That's why I'm eager to learn if It could feat into the new socket I might buy, as I said above ( i5 9600 - H390 M/B ). I don't want to lose this cooler. Oh, and the RPM remain 600 80-85% of the time. No need to increase its speed. You touch the cooler all over and the mild heat is distributed extremely even. For such low price, I'd totally recommend it. Give it a try. Wear it and forget. P.S. And by the way, when once installed Noctua, yes, I got a bit lower temps, but we're talking 5-7 temps lower. Usually the charts make it seem that such expensive coolers are much better with the big-αss bars just to show a difference of only 5 degrees ( celcious ) lower temps. The Noctua I tried was over 90 euros... Imagine that.
