DDR4 prices

Maybe they just can't get the numbers binned. I've heard a few people say that particular kit doesn't overclock too well.

They are not shipping any speed in volume.

Corsair have shipped 100's in comparison.

Never liked G skill ram personally, must have had 3 replacements with RMA from them years ago and each kit was faulty, even still had another faulty kit when i moved to i7. Went to Corsair since and no issues.

What kind of prices are DDR4 expected to settle at in 6+ months or so anyway? Are we talking about £100 cheaper than now?

On the faster stuff easily I'd say such as 3000MHz kits.

And not so much on the <2666mhz kits?

The 2666mhz kit should clock up to 3000 with higher timings.

I'm kind of glad I didn't wait for this platform. Bang for buck is dire.
Considering delidding my 4770k but doubt I'll get that much more than 4.4 anyway

Who really needs these high ram speeds? I can't think of anything I use that benefits. Shame it wasn't ddr3 on this platform tbh

If your a gamer no point.

Any idea when the avexir platinum range or crucial ballistix elite range are going to be back in stock? seriously looking at an x99 build but the timings on the corsair ram is frankly a bit crap for the money.

Prices on DDR4 have actually rose due to terrible output from factory making supply even worse, I doubt we shall see big reductions until 2015.

Sounds about right. Cheers.

I'm on the same page as the OP - would like to get a haswell-e system but put off by memory. It's £1200 for 64gb of DDR4, or £600 for 64gb of DDR3 - I'm not keen enough to sink the difference. Will stay on Ivy-E for the time being.
