Corsair is now selling its 32GB (2x16GB) Vengeance RGB DDR5-5600 memory kit for $409, a $108 reduction, directly through its own store. The kit features CL40 latency, RGB lighting, and Intel XMP profiles, and has been confirmed as the cheapest currently available memory kit at this speed tier.
YouTube channel NorthWestRepair published a video showing technician Tony attempting to repair two physically damaged DDR5 ECC RDIMM server memory modules, a 128GB and a 256GB stick, together said to be worth $16,000. Using a reflow technique with flux and hot air, he got the first module working again, while the second showed no signs of life and appeared to have a faulty PMIC chip.
Acer chairperson Jason Chen said PC prices will keep rising 5-20% through late 2025, plateau in early 2027, then start falling as memory chip supplies normalize sooner than manufacturers claim. He pushed back on suppliers like SK hynix and Adata, who warn shortages could persist until 2030 or beyond, arguing these companies are inflating fears to protect profit margins.
