Sell or just bin ddr4 ram

[nutski1873]

I’ve got two lots of Kingston Fury Beast DDR4 ram.

1 is 16gb (2x8gb sticks) and the other is 32gb (2x16gb sticks), both are opened but never used. I don’t need them anymore. Are they not worth it and just bin ‘em, throw them in the bin, or try exchange them for other parts that I could use.

DDR4 has gone up in price a lot lately brand new, so I wouldn't dump them. The big names are ending production.

Would be very helpful for cheaper systems, for friends, kids, etc, since AM4/1700 builds are still being built and DDR4 is one of the main issues right now (preventing them from being a good deal).

DDR4 takes up such a small amount of space, that you should just keep it.
Prices on the rise, and it's still relevant for upgrading older systems that are still good.

You have a long way to go (1000 posts) but the members market could be an option.

Sell to a trade in store or auction site.
Give to a friend.
Give to a local place that does up PCs and donates them.

Plenty of things to do before the bin becomes an option

I think the main thing is, is in a useable size? A size that someone might upgrade to? And the answer is yes. Sell them.

Sell it, theres always someone looking to make a budget build

This.

Binning them is not even a option

Certainly have a value, as already mentioned trade in or ebay etc.

I sold some a few weeks back, got more than I paid for them years ago.

 

[nutski1873]

Didn’t realise they were as useful anymore.

I’ll see if I can swap for them towards something I need or if not I’ll try find somewhere local that was suggested that does builds and donates them away.

Sell sell sell

If it was ddr3 you could probably dump but most people still use ddr4 so I would say you can try selling. You can still easily get a decent amount for 16 and 32gb

 

[darkwildchild79]

I just recently sold some ddr4 (2 x 8gb) for a decent price, so there is still hope.

Either sell it or offer it to someone if they come collect it or cover shipping etc.

I'm in the market for more capacity DDR4 at the moment and can't believe how much it costs now. Is it all RAM or just DDR4?

No, DDR5 has gone up as well, but DDR4's increase is more dramatic from what it was. Black Friday might drop them down to the previous prices, but we'll see.

Apparently AI is now gobbling up 40% of the global D-ram supply causing prices to rocket up.

OpenAI’s “Stargate” project has recently signed an agreement with Samsung and SK hynix for up to 900,000 wafers of DRAM per month. That figure alone would account for close to 40% of global DRAM output.
