Here ya go:

https://nemixram.com/16gb-ddr4-3200-pc4-25600-ecc-udimm-2rx8...

It doesn't have pretty lights on it, but it does seem to be in the same speed class that gets called "gaming RAM" by a _whole_ bunch of retailers.

For real. I am going to have to look into this more. While it isn't by a global retail manufacturer, the price is like a fraction of most other RAM so I am curious. Does NewEgg or Amazon sell it directly, and if not why not?

NEMIX sells through Newegg, but it's one of those "Newegg routes the sale through the seller" things, rather than "Newegg buys the thing from the seller and handles the shipping and everything" thing. In my experience, the price is the same whether you order through Newegg's website, or through NEMIX's website.

Unless you have a particular reason to keep your order history in Newegg, just buy direct from NEMIX.

(IDK about NEMIX's relationship with Amazon, as I don't buy things from Amazon.)
