Lol, those are some of the best sticks around for the X58.

They are just cheap because they are on daily deal. Buy them quick, they were £30 more a few days ago.

Edit: can I just confirm - you are using an X58/i7 system, right?

ya

i do but i said i want good ram for a cheap price

Well this is as cheap as you will get for 6GB DDR3 kits on OCUK. For the extra £8, the patriot kit is well worth it.

Sorry man, forum rules are that you can't post links to competitors (even if they are in another country).

However, if you want to list a bunch of RAM make/model numbers we can tell you which is the best. Generally, with the X58 platform it has so much memory bandwidth (due to triple channel mode) that pretty much any good brand, Lifetime warranty, 1333MHz or more RAM is going to give great performance. In most applications the performance difference between a 1333MHz CL9 6GB kit is only a few % behind a top-end 2000MHz CL8 kit.

The patriot stuff linked above is good stuff, or this set from corsair.

Both are quality ram kits, ocuk use theese ram kits in a lot of their overclocked systems/bundles.

The "cheapest ram" is a fluid thing as RAM prices change constantly - the cheapest DDR3 6GB RAM kit on OCUK today may have been the 20th cheapest a week ago.

If you are buying in Sweden then I imagine the market situation will also be ever-changing, so there is no "correct" answer to the question.

The best thing we can say is look for:

- 1.65V rated kit
- 3x2GB DDR3 matched set
- Decent Brand - eg Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Kingston.
- Comes with a lifetime warranty

If you see a cheap kit that meets all these criteria from a reputable place - buy with confidence.
