Although we might be beginning to see a peak in RAM prices due to a combination of AI memory efficiency advancements and bogus AI memory deals, prices for DDR5 still haven't returned to where they used to be.
That makes this deal I spotted at Woot! so attractive. Until midnight tonight, you can grab a 2x16GB kit of Corsair's Vengeance DDR5-6000MT/s RAM for $269.99 rather than the usual listed price of $399.99. That's a 30% discount, and the purchase is fulfilled by Amazon; Prime members get full benefits.
Corsair's Vengeance DDR5 is what I have in my high-end gaming PC
It's been a rough year for PC gamers hoping to upgrade their systems, but we're now possibly starting to see a bit of light in the future.
Whereas it's been cheap RAM that I wouldn't normally recommend on sale in recent months, the fact that Corsair's high-end Vengeance RAM is now enjoying such a steep discount bodes well for the future. This is the same memory I'm using in my gaming PC, and it's been nothing but great.
This is 32GB of DDR5-6000MT/s RAM split between two 16GB sticks, with CL36 latency and performance profiles optimized for AMD EXPO used in AMD-based systems.
The RAM doesn't have any additional RGB lighting (which I prefer), and its low-profile design means there's less chance it will interfere with other hardware in a compact build.
Each module is nevertheless covered in an aluminum heatspreader to better keep the chips cool under load.
The deal is only available at Woot! and it's only available for a limited time. It looks like the discounted $269.99 price will return to its normal $399.99 tonight at midnight, or when stock sells out, so don't wait too long if you're in need of some quality PC memory.
Since Woot! is owned by Amazon, the RAM actually ships with all Prime benefits, including free standard shipping.
Does Corsair's Vengeance DDR5 RAM work with Intel and AMD systems?
Yes. Although this kit is technically optimized for AMD systems, it can take advantage of both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP overclocking abilities. Just be sure your specific Intel motherboard supports it.
Is this RAM good for PC gaming?
Yes, DDR5-6000MT/s RAM is great for gaming. Just be sure that its CL36 timing pairs well with your specific processor.
