Hey memory people

!

I'm upgrading my rig to Ivy here in the next couple days, and I've been out of the memory scene for a bit. I see all the raves about these awesome 30nm sticks, can someone confirm these are the right ones?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147096

I expected them to cost a little more, so I just wanted to double check. I need ~16GB for what I do, so given that, do you guys still recommend these modules for a new high-end build?

Thanks!

Those look like the ones, but they are out of stock.

I have one set (8GB) in my Sandy Bridge rig, and they run great! 1600MHz, 8-8-8-21,1T at 1.5V.

Just get two of these for $47.98 total: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147094

It's a penny cheaper for the exact same thing.

Ah, those are the same eh? I would still need 16GB though, but I could always just grab 4x of those if the 8GB sticks aren't in stock when I order.

Thanks for the heads up!

Or go Amazon for $1.70 cheaper per 4gb stick http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-Extreme-MV-3V4G3-US/dp/B0059200FY/

Anyone know why a single 4gb stick is ~$23, but 2x 4gb kit is $100+ on Amazon? Are there compatibility issues ordering 16gb in single 4gb sticks??

edit- Wait, there are 2 version of this ram. MV-3V2G3D and MV-3V4G3. The 3V2 vs 3V4 have differing power consumption levels (1.36w vs 1.65w), but both have similar voltage specifications. I'm a bit confused.

Think the 3V2 is single sided while the 3V4 is double sided.

Not sure how much that would affect overclocks.

In theory, shouldn't single sided be better? A 4gb single sided is better than a 4gb double sided, right?

There are no compatibility issues in individual sticks.

There is probably a perception of kits being different, hence the kits sell out and prices rise with demand.

The single sided sticks in question are 2GiB, not 4.

Also, for them to make a singled sided 4GiB stick, different ICs would need to be used, and they would likely have much inferior OCing capabilities.
