Why is affordable ram either edgy gaymur trash or ugly green oem sticks? What caused this to happen to the market?

All I want is something with a solid black/grey heatsink and no speed lines or spoilers without being sold at a 2x premium.

>wanting a RAM heatsink
Sorry, you're part of the problem. See this? It's an 8GB stick of DDR4 RAM rated at 2400 MHz. It clocks up to 3200 Mhz without problem and still produces basically no heat. It just fucking works. I got two of these for $45. Fuck all of your shit.

Why do you care what your ram looks like? Just buy whatever is cheapest. You're not one of those retards who buys a windowed case to jerk off to their sick "rig", are you?

CL15 DDR4. Who fucking cares. DDR3 is within a few percent as fast for most tasks, let alone DDR4 with a slightly higher latency.

I have some bright ass blue dimms that look gay as fuck.

It was $40 for 32GB

Why do you give a shit?
>>
>>55331346
If you care about what your RAM looks like, that means you either open your case to try and admire your system, or even worse, you have a case window. In either case, you're a faggot.

I don't care what my ram looks like because I don't have a fucking LED lit window in the side of my fucking computer.

It was the cheapest DDR4 at the time senpai.
I don't give a shit who it's marketed to, RAM is RAM.

Why DDR4? I don't think any DDR4 RAM is the cheapest. And what's with the clock speeds? Do you think that will increase your fps?

What's wrong with naked ram? What the fuck are oem sticks?

more importantly why do you care how hardware that sits inside your case looks?
you can argue about case looks(open windows are retarded) but hardware itself?


on more interestng question how does new corsair lpx 3200 ddr4 performs? price seems fine, finnaly

corsair vengeance black looks fine m8, maybe heatgun the sticker off if you don't care so much for gaymur branding

>and no speed lines or spoilers

do you not know how heatsinks work? the added fins increase surface area which allows for more effective thermal transfer

if you don't want ugly heatsinks on ram (size considerations, some big cpu heatsinks tended to block large ram heatsinks so the industry shied away from those) then get some plain black sticks without heatsinks

>I don't think any DDR4 RAM is the cheapest
The price difference between 8GB DDR3 1600MHz and 8GB DDR4 2133MHz is literally $2.

You aren't spending really any more by going with DDR4, and if you're getting a new platform that supports DDR4, no reason not to get it.

Who gives a shit what it looks like, you're going to just put the side back on when your done.
I went with Hyper-X because it was the cheapest for the amount I needed at the time.

You stuff that much shit into an OEM case and make it look pretty. HP doesn't understand cable management. The best you can do is shove it all into one fat bundle and zip tie it down.

>>55336570
Or just buy a new case like a normal, not-poor person

Also 8GB or 16GB?

>>55336615
All memory chips are made by the same 3 companies no matter who you buy your RAM from, just get whatever is cheap and meets your needs. If you need DDR3 get cheap DDR3 1600MHz, if you need DDR4 get 2133 or 2400MHz unless you can find a good deal on 3000MHz.

and it's 2016, get 2x8GB and dont worry about RAM for the next 8+ years.
>>
>>55331619
Y-yea, fuck those windowed computers eheh..
>>
>>55331594
Club 15 ddr4 2400 is equivalent to cl 7.5 ddr3 1200. New sweet spot is pretty much ddr4 3200 cl 18 which would have the same access time as ddr3 1600 cl 9.

I'm not saying your image is an accurate representation of your mental acuity. I'm just saying.
