The quality itself is usually not very different between manufacturers, but the quality control and Support is better on some manufacturers.

Hi guys,

 

Does it? Are Corsair or G Skill better than GeIL, for example? What makes this one so cheap:

https://www.newegg.com/global/sk/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820158024&cm_re=16gb_ddr4_3200-_-20-158-024-_-Product

 

Thanks.

I think just after reading the reviews it should be clear...

 

And yes, ram manufacturers matter... 

 

In my own experience ADATA is an excellent ram manufacturer, never had any issues with ADATA ram for over 20 years. The only thing with ADATA, they just make "simple and sometimes stylish rams" without RGB. Which is ok for me, but some people need the bling, makes them feel the system is faster while it blings...

 

As for kingston for example, some rams are good, some cheaper on smaller pcbs are kind of whacky even in intel mobos. Even though they are not defect per se.

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

Thanks guys, I never care for looks. I keep everything in a closed case, so RGB and colors don't matter.

All I need is the cheapest product that can deliver properly.

good support is worth a few extra bucks in my opinion.. not that asus makes ram, but i have heard their support is not good, while corsair has really good support.. these are just examples, others may have good support too

Have you tried to perform a sudden temporary interrupt of the electricity flow to your computational device followed by a re-initialization procedure of the central processing unit and associated components?

Depends on the company. Some might have international warranty, some might require you to ship it back to the country you bought it from. 

Though I don't see why you would want to do that anyway, the shipping costs are rather high.

I'm actually reviewing local and international websites. Amazon offers free shipping for some product; NewEgg pumps it a lot.

Upon building my pc, I predict lower prices in USD, even with shipping. Usually same products are more expensive in Euro.

That free shipping does not apply for international orders.

Do you have information to prove it, please? I went all the way to checkout and it doesn't show any fees. It actually states free shipping.
