DDR3 , i need professional mind here please, or people who understand.Why the lower ram more expensive then the higher?

[keavlar]

Guys, i cant understand why the DDR3    Corsair Vengeance LP 4x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 Kit more expansive then  HyperX Beast 2x8GB DDR3 2400Mhz CL11 Kit , 

and the same goes for  G.Skill SNIPER 4x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 kit,   i mean, they have same 16 GB, but speed is different, and yet:

Corsair Veng 4x4 gb 1600 cl9 is 160 $

G,Skill sniper 4x4 gb 1600 cl9 same 160 

but 

hyperX beast 2x8 gb 2400 is 135 $

I cant understand, every one say no difference in brand , ok then why difference in prices, specially when hyperx is higher speed?

because 4 sticks need more materials than two even if they are lower capacity

you beat me to it...

Also, 4 sticks provide slightly better performance with some applications.

Only if the CPU and board support quad-channel

sorry, forgot to add that but nearly all atx boards and modern cpus support 4 sticks, heck even my cpu from 2010 does.

There's a difference between 4 sticks and quad-channel. Most CPUs and boards don't support it

Only X79 and X99 platforms support quad channel RAM. Z170 is dual channel only.

 

And those sticks have a lower cas latency, but the cheaper kit will(should) be better performing.

Xeons also work IIRC

Xeons on X79 and X99 will yes.

Talking server ones. X99/79 isn't a server board

Bottom line, it doesnt really matter, the hyperx will be better right,? 

I have asus rog hero VII , so i should stick with hyperx  right?

2 sticks of RAM for you

[Naeaes]

I think it's starting to become a matter of production volume. They might manufacture more 8GB sticks these days so the cost for running the machines is spread across more sticks. Not to mention storing and shipping them. Basically it's cheaper to manufacture a thousand things ten times than ten similar things a thousand times.

yhea, and the plus is that you get the possibility of expansion later if you want more ram!

Thanks to all.

All my servers are X79. Any high end Intel server will be running X79/X99 or older equivalents. In terms of CPU compatibility at least.
