Why is this so cheap is this worth it?

[Ryan_1998]

Building. Ryzen 5 1600 decided if I’m going to be paying well over price for RAM I might as well go all out RGB.

Even though its temp out if stock this Trident RGB RAM seems cheaper than its suppose to be. Is it worth it, it allows me to add to basket and order so I assume it will stay that price and ship when in stock right?

To me that still looks expensive

Yes but the corsair LPX is more if not same price and its non RGB

[Squarq]

Normally they're anywhere from $180-200

That probably explains why this one is out of stock

[Imbellis]

With the current RAM Market, it's a decent price.

Here's a link to RAM Prices (2x8gb/16gb ddr4) in your area.

 

Note: You should probably clip out the shipping information/address location.

don't get that kit. it's the CL16 one and it's very likely not to work at the XMP speed

dude, not even close.

2966 is easy on AM4 with a 3200 rated kit if you have the latest BIOS

it really depends on the board that's why i said it's not very likely to work. i've actually tested this. this kit might boot to 2966 on a soft launch but it will boot loop it afterwards on most boards

that board is really not great. i know brand love and all but it's not a great board. the only board i'd recommend from b350 is either some of the MSI ones i have actually worked with or the asrock board buildzoid recommends
