CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz CL30

Bought for 240€ now 920€...
Ridiculous to say the least...

 

[Radical_3d]

So I read on here about the price of ram going up but I didn't quite think it would be as dramatic as it turned out to be.

I checked on how much my ram is to buy today compared to when I bought it

This was in March

This was today

Insane!

How much is your ram today?

LOL 1.000€ for 64GB of RAM. I think I can kiss my dreams of 32GB next gen goodbye.

Edit. Also, my poor ass investing and loosing money:

Everyone else in this thread:

I paid $93 for my 64GB of DDR5 less than 2 years ago:

Almost $800 now:

More than 8X! I'm officially retiring from investing.

My ram is 8000 ( or 7800? I forgot but it can reach 8000 for sure ) cl36 I bought when the high speed ram was starting to roll.

Some dude sold them to me for 100$ Canadian ( 70 US ?) ( 16x2 gigs g.skill )


Was not very happy because it was cl36 . But now ? Lol I am praying they never die on me . Because if they do. I am not buying ram or changing PC parts for the next 2 years till all the crazy shit stops. I am not paying these shitty prices. This will include GPUs and CPUs too.

If Nvidia wants to ride the wave of 'let's increase prices and offer a 6090 for $2500,' they can shove it.

I have the 5090FE at MSRP, and I still think I am stupid for paying that much to play a couple of games on high settings.

Path tracing can fuck off. Along with any unoptimized game that require a 5090 power when it runs like shit even at 4k dlss with no ray tracing

Why? 8000 or 7800 CL36 still has lower CAS latency (9ns or 9.231) than 6000 at CL30 (10ns). If you are running at lower frequencies because of the motherboard/CPU you probably have headroom to tweak the timings. But probably won't get a meaninful performance uplift outside of especific memory sensitive scenarios. Even less if you have a X3D SKU.

Like the rest of 64gigs of ddr5 club:

 

[01DragonFly]

CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 96GB directly from Amazon current price 1,174
Bought them for 349 in April.

I am glad I built my current pc in April , I don't think I could have bought all the components I have now with those prices .

 

[unfashionable]

a 4TB waterproof external SSD from amazon they are out of stock. they want 50% more than I paid for a used one!

also looks like high memory speed RAMs are hit hardest. is that low % of units available for high speed vs low speed SKUS or fastest needed for AI/servers

 

[Autistic_Pancake]

> Patriot Viper Steel PVS464G360C8K DDR4 - 2x 32GB

Bought in July for $120, and now it costs $500 in my country. Shit's messed up, it's not even DDR5!

 

[SiegeDamage]

Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64 GB 6000 MHz CL30

Purchased Aug. 2025 on sale for $400 CAD (tax included)
Currently priced at $1,220 CAD ($1,380 tax included)

That's more than a PS5 Pro + an extra controller + a few games. Madness.

Like the rest of 64gigs of ddr5 club:

It's like investment.

My DDR4 (bought in 2023) is just more than 2x

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Thanks for reminding me to put some of my RAM sticks on eBay, OP.

 

[damidu]

damn this was an eye opener, $80 to $200 for 2x16 sodimm

 

[Sanepar]

2 kits of 32gb(2x16) 6000 cl30 ddr5 in each PC

 

[delishcaek]

32GB Kingston Fury Beast 6000Mhz CL30 White version bought as open box for 90€ in May last year.

Now the cheapest I can find this kit for is 479€.

out of curiosity I looked up the 4TB T7 shield I bought at the same time, it was 230€, cheapest now is 360€.

 

[tylrdiablos]

I thought you guys were going insane but I've just checked my Amazon UK order from Jan 19th 2025:
CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6000MHz - cost me £179.99
Amazon says it's "current unavailable" so I looked on the official Corsair site:

Deliver the higher frequencies and greater capacities of DDR5 RAM technology in a high-quality, compact DDR5 memory module that suits your AMD® Ryzen™ AM5 system.

Where it's £858.99

Da fuq!?

 

[PSFore]

I begged people to stock up while they still could. They didn't listen. They just didn't listen.

 

[Ribi]

Ddr4? Ddr5? Wtf is that? I got ddr3

 

[Nocty]

Interesting.

Considering this should be a prolonged thing, surely Corsair should be / will be making massive profits from the price hikes?

Corsair sells a lot more than just memory. AI companies aren't going to buy their gaming PC cases, lower watt power supplies. or probably any of their gaming accessories. And neither will regular people because the cost of components to build PCs is too high. They are focused on the consumer market, not enterprise.

they dont make their own memory so its possible that demand from the AI clusterfk takes away their inventory
