RAM 128GB (32GB x 4)

[RafaAstaroth]

Hi all,

 

I had been looking for a good RAM with 32 GB @ 3600 or 4000 MHz, so I can get 128 on my four slots motherboard (I have an ASRock Itachi and an Intel 9900K) and today I saw this video:

 

 

But after searching, I haven’t been able to find where to buy it, or any other good memory that could provide me with the 128 (32 x 4) @ 3600 or 4000 MHz.

 

Any suggestion or recommendation of where to get it?

 

Thank you

 

Best Regards

As far as I know they haven't hit retail yet. Another "heard but not seen" product.

Are you sure you even need 128 gigs of RAM? From what I've heard, it's mostly for flexing.

To get those size dimms you need to go ECC, so maybe you should be buying a xeon workstation instead of a 9900K.

It's even worse than flexing, because having more sticks or ranks than you need reduces performance by increasing latency and limiting the maximum attainable frequency. With 8 ranks, 3600Mhz will be borderline with loose timings for a 9900k, but 4000Mhz probably isn't realistic.

Gskill variant is sold in my local store, but they are crazy expenisve.

2x 32gb (64gb total) 3200mhz costs 800€,

while if you went with 16gb sticks the same amount of ram would cost 320€.

 

Here is the model number if you want to search for it:

F4-3200C14D-64GTZDCB   I haven't found any higher clocked ones.

Just get regular 3200mhz memmory. Its not as if you gain anything worth mentioning by doubling the cost of the Ram

But think of the flexing though

I'll create a virtual environment with several VMs running at the same time, and I'll require a lot of ram to allocate.

You cant see jiggies.

 

 

However, you can see RGB, expencive mobos and more.  No point in more than 3200mhz.

You'll run out of CPU power before you run out of memory

Why are you running a 9900k then?

 

And not say a threadripper. Its not like it costs any extra.

Well, I got the 9900K for 350 and a 2070 FE for 420, were great deals if I cannot get, or it doesn't worth having 128 RAM, then I can go 64 then.

Its not the memmory size that is the issue. Its the speed, its not like you need more than 3000-3200mhz.

 

Also you can get a 1950x for like 500$ iirc.

Thank for the advice
