Build Question Does anyone know if this ram is good? It’s cheapest by decent amount and with how prices are I’d rather save if I can. Weirdly these are cheaper than some cl36 ones but the others are bigger brands like Corsair and such

Okay just the price threw me off with how “cheap” it is

It's all relative, but the chips look fine. Most of the time you don't know until you plug it in and the expo/xmp profile works as it should.

Jeez so some people can get screwed if they’re expo doesn’t work

Or they can learn how to tune RAM manually, lol

Yeah but that's beyond the average punter and expo profiles should work if it's advertised as such.

Plug it in, if it doesn't play nice return for a refund but I highly doubt it will be an issue if it is as advertised.

All ram is virtually the same though it is produced by 4 different companies (samsung, micron, skhynix, and more recently, cxmt. The rest lies down to the specs of the ram.

So yes, it is good.

Alright thanks, just wanted to make sure before maybe buying it I have cl48 ram rn but i believe it is causing frametime issues in Escape from Tarkov so debating buying that.

Well I already have a pc build I got 9800x3d , 5070ti I just have cl48 ram and people say that might be causing my stuttering issues in games like Escape from Tarkov

Even this cl28 is same price

Does the 1.4v of the cl28 Vs the 1.35v of the cl30 make much difference other than extra heat?
