Where can I find 1x8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866 MHz RAM

[xcellcior]

I just recently purchased the Eurocom M5 Pro and got 1x8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866 MHz C10 RAM (CMSX16GX3M2B1866C10)

I started playing Witcher 3 and it turns out I could use a little more RAM, I max it out when playing. So I went looking for more of the same and am annoyed that it is only sold in 2x8GB kits, I only need 1 more stick and am wondering if anyone knows where I can get it? The upgrade kit will cost me about $180 CAD for 2 sticks from ramexperts, I was hoping to spend less than $100 for 1 stick.

Or I know I can get the (CMSX8GX3M2B1866C10) 2x4GB kit and am wondering if that is another solution? I could put the 8GB in slot 1 and 4GB sticks in 2 and 4. But will I still retain the dual channel memory? Or will it only dual for the 4GB sticks and stay single for the 8GB? I can get this for about $90 CAD from canadacomputers.

Thanks for the help, first time attempting to upgrade RAM so be gentle

Or buy the dual kit and sell your other one on ebay and get some of your money back and then maybe someone else in your situation can buy it.

$90? On an unrelated note, That's kinda pricey. 16gb kits are on sale constantly for $119-129 in Canada and I'm seeing 8gb kits go below $60-70. I just got my 1600 16gb overclockable ram for 99$ just last week from new egg

Well I am looking for the corsair vengeance ram. It's also DDR3L for laptops (204-pin). Which ram did you get? If there is 16gb of quality ram (better benchmarks than the corsair vengeance 1866 cl10) then let me know!

Ahh laptops. I just assumed desktop because of the 4 slots without bothering to look up the model numbers heh- so my sticks would be irrelevant. That being said, I always use pcpartpicker (Canadian version) as a guide so it might help you (and also give you best prices from the popular retailers)

Hey, email Gary (gsmith@eurocom.com). He might be able to work out some sort of deal on ram for you.
