3600 cl16 8 pack 16gb increased from £140 to £170 today. That's rough. In October 2020 it was around 110-120. I presume prices increased a lot across all ram due to recent extra demand and restricted supply. Tough time for new builds.
Yes supply is in massive constraint. Prices are moving up also but the main reason is lack of supply.
Corsair and 8 Pack sales in last few months have hit record highs and whereas we would normally see sales volume drop off into January it has actually increased further.
Right now we can’t source any more Samsung IC for 8 Pack RAM so what we have will have to last until after Chinese New Year.
Corsair are also having record sales too and are sold out to the point everything they can produce is swallowed up immediately.
Ive managed to source stock from Kingston and Micron to help but all in all component sales across the board are at record highs these past few months and is showing no signs of slowing.
Hopefully prices might ease a bit March/April onwards but it’s an unknown. Micron, Corsair and other memory manufacturers are in a very good position as sales have never been so good!
