For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked. Can somebody please explain to me why the damn ram is so damn expensive and will it get better any time soon?Īre you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?Īre you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)Ĭorsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly. and having to spend $100 on only 8 gigs of memory is a real pain in the ass especially since very popular games like Battlefield 1 and PUBG need 12 gigs of ram at the minimum.
This increase in ram prices alone has made 2017 a very bad year to build a gaming pc, because if you are like by my estimate around 70% of PC gamers out there, you are usually building with a budget of around 600-800 dollars. WHAT?! And DDR4 is no different, the cheapest 8gb kit being 99 freaking dollars.
The cheapest 1x8gb stick of ddr3 right now it $84 australian dollars. The same crucial 1x8gb stick of ddr3 was around $50 and i was kind of shocked. I remember back in mid-late 2016 when you could buy a 1x8gb stick of DDR3 for $36 Australian dollars (about 28 US dollars), but ever since april 2017 ive noticed the prices getting higher and higher, i remember one day i was on pcpartpicker parting out a rig just because i was bored and thats what i do in my spare time. The prices for ram has increased almost 300% over the last year. The good part about 2017 has definitely been pascal (even tho it came out in may 2016 but the prices have only come down significantly in 2017), the really nice and cheap deepcool cases, Ryzen, and sort of coffee lake.
I feel like 2017 has been the best and also the worst year to build a gaming rig.
