With DDR5 prices on a historic rise due to massive AI demand, the last thing I expected to wake up to on Cyber Monday morning was a sweet deal on a 32GB kit of DDR5-6000. And yet, here we are as Newegg is selling the Patriot Viper Venom 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000 (PVV532G600C36K) kit for just $209.
Technically, that's just $10 off, but it's the lowest-priced 32GB DDR5 kit on Amazon right now, with the closest name-brand competitor being a Crucial 6400 kit for $289. And 6000MT/s is the sweet spot for gaming performance, so there's no real reason to opt for faster RAM (especially in today's volatile market).
No one is going to say that this kit's 36-36-36-76 timings and CL36 CAS Latency are stellar. But this kit is plenty capable of gaming and productivity, while somehow being cheaper than pretty much everything else right now. If you want the best RAM right now, you'll have to pay several hundred dollars more.
We're all basically RAM beggars at this point, so we can't exactly be choosers. If you can't afford this kit, you'll have to opt for something like this $129 Team Group kit instead (which might get you by for now, but you'll probably regret it later). If you're planning on building or upgrading a PC in the next few months, I'd snatch this kit up. There's a good chance you won't see anything more affordable for a long time as AI hardware demand continues to consume the world's memory supply.
