Black Friday RAM Price Watch 2026
Most Black Friday RAM "deals" are not lows. We check every tracked kit against its own price history and only flag the ones genuinely at or near the lowest price we have recorded.

How to read the verdict
Every kit gets one verdict, computed from the prices RamRadar has recorded for that exact kit.
- Dropped to its low
- Within 2% of the lowest price we have recorded, after falling at least 5% in the last 60 days.
- Steady at its low
- At its lowest recorded price, but it has not dropped in the last 60 days. A fair price to buy at, not a Black Friday sale.
- Near its low
- Within 10% of the recorded low. The row says whether it got there recently.
- Not a low yet
- More than 10% above its recorded low. Set an alert and wait.
- Never on sale
- High and low are under 5% apart, so a "low" means little. Left off the deal lists.
- Too new to judge
- Tracked for under 30 days, so its low is not evidence yet. Left off the deal lists.

What a real Black Friday low looks like
- Compare against the kit's own history, not the retailer's "was" price. A crossed-out list price is whatever the seller says it is. A recorded low is what the kit actually sold for.
- Look for a real swing. If a kit's high and low are a few percent apart, it never goes on sale and never needs to. A sale badge on that kit is decoration.
- Check price per GB across capacities. In 2026 a 64GB kit at its low can beat two 32GB kits at list price, and DDR4 is often no cheaper per GB than DDR5.
- Prices here refresh several times a day from eBay, Newegg and B&H. Commissions never touch the order: the cheapest fresh in-stock offer always gets the button.

No DDR5 desktop kit is at a genuine low right now. That is the honest answer, so none is listed. Set a price alert on a kit you want and we will email you if it drops.
Black Friday RAM questions
Is Black Friday a good time to buy RAM in 2026?
Sometimes. Since 2025, AI demand for high-bandwidth memory has kept DDR4 and DDR5 prices high, so many Black Friday RAM discounts are small or are markdowns from an inflated list price rather than real lows. Buy when a kit you want is at or near its own recorded low. This page lists exactly those kits and refreshes every hour.
How does RamRadar decide whether a RAM deal is real?
We compare the current price with the lowest and highest prices RamRadar has recorded for that exact kit. Within 10% of the low counts as near it. Within 2% counts as at it, and we only call that a drop if the price fell at least 5% in the last 60 days; a kit that has sat at the same price for months is labelled "steady at its low" instead. A kit whose high and low are less than 5% apart, that we have tracked for under 30 days, or whose price has not been re-checked in the last 7 days is never called a deal.
What does all-time low mean on this page?
It is the lowest price RamRadar has recorded for the kit since we started tracking it, not the lowest price it has ever sold for anywhere. Every row shows the date its tracking began.
Should I wait for Cyber Monday instead?
Only if the kit you want is not near its low. RAM pricing follows memory supply more than the retail calendar, and popular kits can sell out on Black Friday. If a kit is at its low on Black Friday, waiting three days rarely saves much. If it is not, set a price alert and we will email you if it drops on Cyber Monday or later.
DDR4 or DDR5 this Black Friday?
DDR5 for any new build, because current AMD and Intel desktop platforms require it. Buy DDR4 only to upgrade an existing DDR4 motherboard, and sooner rather than later, because DDR4 production is winding down.
Which retailers are checked, and do links earn a commission?
eBay, Newegg and B&H Photo, several times a day. The buy button always goes to the cheapest fresh in-stock offer we found. RamRadar may earn a commission from some retailers. It never changes the ranking or the price you pay.
