Shiznizzle I am on AM4. Near top end AM4 CPU with a 5800x. Its a dead end for me. Ive done all i can to get better performance out of my PC. 32GB 3600 DDR4, 2 TB 990 EVO plus Samsung M2 and now a 9060 XT on a PCIe 4 instead of 5. Its a dead end i and i need to move up AM5 to take full advantage of the GPU now as i am losing half the bandwidth on it. So last week i bought on a discounted sale a two stick teamgroup 32GB 6000 MT DDR5 set at overclockers. I used a teamgroup set before when the first ryzens came out in 2017 or when ever that was. It was 2133. It worked fine so i knew that i could trust the name barring bad silicone….which is not likely as it is stress tested for a day or so 32GB 6000 MT DDR5 for 149 pounds. On sale at the time. They were 239 normally. All other 32GB kits started at 199. So i thought 150 was not too bad and better pull the trigger in case it just climbs to silly levels. This kit is now priced at 299 pounds barely a week later. I am glad i bought it. I am set for AM5. Mobo wont cost me an arm and a leg and the CPU i can get a budget siz core R5 9600x or similar. Memory prices have shot through the roof. Its insane. Reply
thisisaname Bet they still put up their prices inline with the increase in memory prices. Reply
