Sweet deal, but come on Toms, do your homework. A low rating and jab at Kingston's CL40 timings when it's the ONLY 128GB kit of 4 on the market at 5600MT/s that is both Intel XMP certified and listed on the QVLs of 125 motherboards? Note the absence of Corsair, Gskill, and Team 128GB+ kits at that speed and those timings.

Isn't it strange that these companies put the highest priced stuff on sale while most people are out there struggling. How about putting a nice 32GB kit on sale, or a sweet deal on 48GB? This is overkill for like 99% of us. Ridiculous.

What would you consider a good price for a 32GB kit?

I would say this a very bad deal. I find it funny that it's advertised on a gaming forum. The ram is class 40, which is bad for gaming, lower timings of 5600 is slow. For gaming one would want at least above 6000. The costs isn't justified for poor product.

I would not recommend this type of memory ram.

High margin SKUs have more margin to slash without being unprofitable. Low margin SKUs have less margin, so can only tolerate small price cuts without being a net loss.

This isn't a gaming forum. It is a hardware forum, where many of us just happen to be gamers.

If you think 128GB (4x 32GB 2R DIMMs) 5600 CL40 overclocked on Intel/AMD DDR5 boards is bad, you have no idea what you're talking about. Intel and AMD both have clock-down penalties on 2R DIMMs and configuring in 2DPC. Until Kingston launches their 64GB DIMMs, there won't be any way to get around this performance bottleneck. Not a lot of users will need that much RAM, certainly not gamers, but those that do can at least squeeze out more performance by overclocking with this kit.
