Amazon RAM is cheaper or am I missing something?

[BlurSotongKia]

Hi all, I saw on Amazon SG that 2 x 8 GB 3600Mhz Corsair vengeance LPX DDR4 Ram is going for $88, while the same set is going for $180 at Dynacore. Am I missing something here?

Did you check the seller first? Is it some weird random name that looks like the seller rolled his face over the keyboard?

It says sold from and sold by Amazon US though. Quite a huge markup if that price were true. Thinking of purchasing ahead of Zen 3 Ryzen for fear of OOS everywhere when it drops.

Bought mine from Amazon several years back when there was free shipping for purchases>$125. Still going strong. I believe they are also corsairs.

I saw that too. All in plus shipping is around S$97 only. Sold by amazon US.

Just go for it.

Yea, you're missing shipping. And often the special prices featured on slickdeals for ebay and amazon don't apply to overseas sales

But their normal prices are still usually cheaper than SG...

Should be legit, just make sure the currency is 88SGD at checkout...dont fall for the list price... LoL
Waiting for black friday to hoot 64GB....

If it's really from Amazon US, just go for it. I bought mine from Amazon too, it was like half the price for my RAM vs local.

3200Mhz vs 3600Mhz big difference? for normal usage

Yep I think I’ll hoot. Even if our local shops offered MB + CPU + RAM, I don’t think there will be that much savings.

Btw, WD 1TB NVME SSD is going for $184 this morning too. Good price!

If u are building a Ryzen system, stay away from Corsair ram. Not all are compatible. Many users have trouble running even with XMP profile.

Or get those with Ryzen certified labels....

No noticeable difference assuming both kits have decent timings. (3200 16-18-18-36 and 3600 18-22-22-42 are the most common) There's not much justification for getting a 3600 mhz cl18 XMP kit over a decent 3200cl16 kit unless the price difference is negligible. 3600mhz kits are largely irrelevant even for hardcore enthusiast since you can easily get micron Rev E kits at 3000cl15/3200cl16 for a cheaper price if you are stepping into manual overclocking territory.
