Why this ram is so cheap

[Jumas548]

Tell me why this ram is so cheap, does it have some disadvantages that other ddr4-3200mhz rams doesnt have?

It probably doesn't look as good as other DDR4 3200 kits.

Okay, I couldnt find but do you know what is the cheapest 2x8gb DDR4-3000mhz ram possible? Btw, could the quality be worse in that ram I linked than the others? Cuz why flare x is over 200€ if its only 3200? That is just 200mhz more, and costs a lot more. Could you explain?

According to PC Part Picker, this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DHPzK8/team-vulcan-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3000-memory-tlgd416g3000hc16cdc01

Used listings might be cheaper though.

 

I've never heard of bad quality RAM.

 

I have no clue what goes on with memory pricing, honestly. DDR4 3200 is basically the highest end/fastest memory available for the normal consumer market.

flare x is designed for the AMD architecture and works with the ryzen platform. others can work, but might take some finagling to get it functional.

retailers know that there are peeps that'll pay to plug-n-play.
