Title: Corsair quietly raises DDR5 RAM prices significantly two days after issuing 40% discount coupons
Post by: Redaktion on January 06, 2026, 15:35:01
Corsair issued 40% discount codes as a goodwill gesture after canceling DDR5 RAM orders. However, it appears the company quietly raised memory prices shortly afterward.

I know that Corsair jacked up RAM prices but you could try buying a whole computer or even go exclusively for Corsair components for your next build and rack up a huge basket full of products worth a lot so the discount offers the most benefit to the consumer. If I was trying to build a PC when this happened (I generally only get PC cooling and RGB RAM from Corsair so I can sync the RGB via iCUE alongside my Corsair peripherals because I have a sort of OCD when I don't have an easy option for synchronising lighting and being able to control everything with one software. Let's say you are getting a really nice $200 PSU you can get it for 120 or if you get the nice"wireless" fans and cooling setup that itself is going to be over $100 for a full setup excluding the CPU cooler which will also add over $100. Sure a 5090 and 9800x3d with 4TB M.2 and 64GB RAM re built pc might cost $6K or something but 40% off that is a whopping $2400 discount

The emails that I got from Corsair, the coupon is only applicable to RAM kits to get for the 40% off homie.
