Must be nice to have too much money, to be able burn it on crap like this. The more unfortunate (or prudent) of us will rather wait until the inevitable price drop next year.

This article needs a link to the DDR5 technical rundown. (Edit: after some searching I think this article needs to written not linked to)

What is DDR5 and why might it be better ?

If I am getting a new DDR5 Z690 motherboard how do the slots, channels and DIMMS interact? Tom's needs to help the early adopter with money burning a hole in their pocket (or a legitimate needs for a new fire-breathing system) get the optimum DDR5.


Also a couple of the listed kits say DDR4 when I'm sure DDR5 is intended.

All of the links in this post lead to out of stock products. Not a surprise after a little more than 24 hours I suppose.

Completely sold out at all the links supplied, any other suggestions? Landed a 12th gen I9 but don't want to buy a ddr4 motherboard and ram just to have to pay again to upgrade.

DDR4 Motherboards are NOT compatible with DDR5 Memory. They have the same number of pins but the pin key is in a different place to prevent you from frying your system. This means that if you purchase a MOBO compatible with DDR5 it won't take DDR4 DIMMS. This also means that if you purchase a socket 1700 Chipset and purchase DDR4 ram and mother board you'll have to repurchase a different MOBO when you upgrade.

I looked the day of and they all sold out, do everyone a favor and report the ebay resellers that are marking up the price 200% by reselling.

Makes no sense to buy a hi end Z690 board now at 1k if you can't buy anything for it, no memory available no video cards and everything is marked up 2 to 3x what they should be , guess ill wait till 2024 when things become more available.

I just snagged DDR5 Crucial using a stock tracking app called TrackaLacker. Basically just follow the stores you want to buy from and then it'll send alerts when it drops at a reasonable price. https://www.trackalacker.com/products/showcase/ddr5-ram
