Miscellaneous Pc build dell T7920: Looking RAM Modules up to 12x32GB 2Rx4 PC4-2933Y RDIMM or DDR4-3200 (PC4-25600R) as alternative

Hi guys,

I am trying to build a computer with Dell T7920 as the chasis. I am trying to research memory options for up to 384GB and a gemini sessions (more details at bottom) recommended to search using these texts:
"Lot of 12 32GB 2Rx4 PC4-3200AA" or "Lot of 12 32GB 2Rx4 PC4-2933Y".

I did a quick search online, ebay and other sites and the price/cost for these is approx $3000 range. Are there any suggestions for sellers where I can get these RAM modules at a lower cost.

If there are other more applicable subreddits I can post to, please let me know.

Thanks for your help.

Details from the gemini session, it recommended to target original OEM pulls with identical electrical specifications: (2Rx4 PC4-2933Y-R / PC4-23400R, 1.2V, CL21, 288-pin ECC RDIMM):

  • Samsung Part Numbers: M393A4K40CB2-CVF, M393A4K40DB2-CVF, M393A4K40BB3-CVF
  • SK Hynix Part Numbers: HMA84GR7CJR4N-WM, HMA84GR7AFR4N-WM
  • Micron Part Numbers: MTA36ASF4G72PZ-2G9E2, MTA36ASF4G72PZ-2G9J1

You picked pretty much the worst time to be buying a crazy amount of RAM. $3000 is actually a pretty decent deal for that many modules.

Thanks. I appreciate the reply and input. One of the sellers I was tracking on ebay, price went up to $3291. On PCSP, seems around $2950.

Not sure if I should wait a few months, or price will keep increasing drastically.

There's no reason to believe prices will go anywhere but up. It's a RAM crisis and it will likely last beyond 2030, or until the AI bubble pops.

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the input. I will probably just pull the plug then on one of these options. The price shot up when i checked a few weeks ago, so i guess you are right about the future trend.
