This deal has been so popular that it has been drifting in and out of "sold out" status. Currently, it has sold out at Best Buy, but we have found this amazing alternate offer at Woot. This 32GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400 RAM kit is just $249.99. This is going to sell out rapidly, so jump on it before it's too late.
When CPU and motherboard platforms started to turn towards DDR5, it soon became one of the most expensive parts to buy, and put a lot of early adopters off switching to the newer platforms like AM5. It's funny how this RAM-pocalypse has turned full circle, with RAM prices up in the stratosphere due to market conditions and the AI juggernaut sucking up the silicon. Not so much a deal, but more of a public service announcement, the cheapest 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 RAM kit available is available at Best Buy. Crucial's Pro Overclocking 32GB RAM kit is $273.99. If you need DDR5 RAM, get it fast, as the prices only continue to rise, and indications are that this isn't a blip.
For the foreseeable future, RAM price increases are here to stay, whether we like it or not. Waiting just a few weeks has seen RAM prices rise higher and higher, with no end in sight. With large memory manufacturers like Crucial pulling out of the consumer market, the future is looking very grim indeed for PC enthusiasts looking to build computers. A lack of supply and extortionate prices for what RAM is left on the shelves are going to drive up the costs of any build. Earlier in the year, I was spotting deals on similar RAM kits for between $80-$100 for 32GB. It's not a pretty picture when you see how much the prices have risen on sites like PC Partpicker, where you can visually see the upward price trends in their charts.
Crucial's Pro Overclocking 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM kit consists of 2x16GB sticks that have a 6000MHz speed. They aren't the flashiest or fastest RAM sticks available, but they do come with timings of 36-38-38-80 and a CAS latency of 36. The kit is AMD EXPO and Intel XMP ready with profiles ready to set in your BIOS, and 6000MHz is also the sweet-spot for AM5 CPUs. The heat spreader is black and simple, with no RGB lighting in sight.
