Used RAM prices

whats your mobo?

This is… interesting. What are the chances it’ll work?

20% less than this i suppose

So that’s a single stick of 16gb 3000 and a single stick of 8gb 3600 from a kit?

Post it in the garage sale category and see what people offer.

It would irresponsible for any well-known member like myself or @chetansha to suggest a price as that would become an achoring price for others to use/misuse.

Instead have buyers offer a price and see if it makes sense to you.

If you yourself have a price that’s fine.

Personally I go with something in between what CEX offers buyers and what they end up selling for but that was when pricing was stable.

20% less than market value seems excessive but if that’s what it is then I’m in luck

Omg… I just checked the current prices of the Ram sticks i bought for around 14-15k last year this time.

It’s now at 74k!!!

In bird culture this is called stonks.

Interesting, I think you’re right about the capacity though.

I tried mixing 2x8gb with 2x32gb DDR4 and let’s just say it was painful.

So, I bought another kit of 2x32gb DDR4, in combination they ran fine at 3600mhz for a month but now fail to boot at anything higher than 2666mhz.

Specs - 5900X on B550M Pro VDH

RAM - Patriot Viper : 2x 32gb 3200mhz + 2x 32gb 4000mhz


  • Memtest86 for 24hrs stable
  • Set the DDR4 voltage to 1.40v, still failed to boot at anything > 3000mhz
  • Tried increasing the SoC voltage to 1.1v, nomreal difference

Looks like the memory controller on my 5900x degraded from running 128gb DDR4 at 3600mhz. BTW PBO was and is still enabled but set to motherboard limits (142w).

In case someone wants to track pricing

look at DDR4 vs DDR5

DRAM and NAND is a commodity now and like every commodity it’s traded :smiley:

When did that happen :baby:

well we don’t have a public commodity platform for DRAM yet but it’s traded just like energy, firms buying from firms etc, dramexchange and trendforce track the current spot pricing

Didnt knew that this is happening

Samsung shifts focus from HBM to DDR5 modules: DDR5 RAM results in FAR more profits than HBM

It’s more likely your motherboard, I ran 128gb 3600 with my 5900x for months pegged at over 50% cpu on a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2.

I remember clearly/vaguely that that particular motherboard has modern memory topology. I don’t know what means but it allowed it to run 128gb 3600 completely stable.

I’ll need to refresh my brain cells on what that means.

Same thing happened with me, my AM5 system stopped posting with my older RAM when running on the 6000mhz expo profile. Had to bring it down to 5600mhz for stability. I too initially suspected either degraded IMC or my mobo not being able to sustain expo settings. Recently upgraded my mobo to an x870 board and I still face similar issue on my newer ram so I guess I have a degraded IMC too.
