It should retail for $405, but it’s now $87 off at $318, making it a great investment for those of you that use memory-intensive applications, either for work or as a hobby. If you’ve been itching to host some of your own game servers but don’t want to invest in a dedicated server PC, boosting your own rig to have server-grade memory capacity would certainly be one way to do so.
64GB of RAM is enough to ensure you don’t have to worry about memory bottlenecking your performance in memory-intensive apps, and, of course, it’s so much that you never have to worry about not having enough RAM for gaming for a very, very long time. Throw in some sparkly RGB lighting and you’ve got yourself a top-of-the-line, ‘I’m not going to have to think about upgrading my RAM for probably the next millenia’ memory kit.
The two 32GB, dual-channel DDR4 sticks are rated up to 3,600MHz with a CAS latency of 18ns, which is about as snappy as you can get and should feed any memory-hungry CPU you might pair it with – providing you can get the sticks up to their rated speed, mind you.
Games are becoming more memory-dependent, these days, with many now pushing close to 16GB memory use, meaning 32GB should become the new high-end norm for gaming before too long. So 64GB DDR4 RAM at 3,600MHz should have you covered in that regard, with plenty of gigabytes left over to host a game server and manage all those Chrome tabs you’ve left open again.
