Newegg's Presidents' Day Doorbusters: 64GB DDR5 for $499, 9850X3D for $399, and More

Newegg's notorious Doorbuster deals are back for Presidents' Day, offering extreme discounts on premium PC hardware that will sell out in minutes. The online retailer is discounting select products at 9 AM PT on February 14 and 15, with deals so aggressive they're designed to crash the website.

Last year's Doorbusters included a Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB for $499 and a 5060 Ti GPU for just $99. This year's lineup promises similar jaw-dropping prices on the latest components.

The Most Aggressive Deals

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5: $499.99 (was $1,129.99)

This represents a 56% discount on 64GB of high-speed DDR5 memory. The current AI-driven memory pricing has pushed 64GB kits well above $1,000, making this deal particularly noteworthy. Corsair's Vengeance RGB modules typically run at 6000MHz with tight timings, suitable for both gaming and content creation workloads.

AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D: $399.99 (was $499.99)

AMD's latest 8-core processor with 3D V-Cache technology gets a $100 discount just days after launch. The 9850X3D runs at 5.6GHz boost clock and features 100MB of total cache, making it AMD's fastest gaming processor. The chip launched earlier this week at $499, so this doorbuster essentially offers it at cost.

ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 16GB: $499.99 (was $629.99)

AMD's mid-range RDNA 4 GPU gets a $130 discount. The RX 9070 targets 1440p and 4K gaming with 16GB of GDDR6 memory, making it a strong option for high-resolution gaming without the premium price of the 9070 XT.

Other Notable Doorbuster Deals

Bundle Deals for Missed Doorbusters

For those who miss the lightning-fast Doorbusters, Newegg offers substantial bundle discounts:

AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D + 32GB SK hynix V-Color Manta XSky DDR5-6400: $650 (was $998.99)

This combo pairs the 9850X3D with high-speed DDR5-6400 memory running at CL32 timings (32-39-39-102). The memory uses SK hynix's premium ICs and features RGB lighting.

AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D + ASUS X870 AYW Gaming Motherboard + 32GB DDR5: $799.99 (was $1,238.98)

The complete platform upgrade includes the latest AMD CPU, a capable X870 motherboard with PCIe 5.0 support, and 32GB of DDR5 memory. The bundle also includes a free air duster and Crimson Desert game code.

Complete Gaming PC Deal

Gigabyte AORUS PRIME 5 Gaming Desktop: $2,199.99 (was $2,499.99)

This prebuilt system features:

• AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (8-core/16-thread)
• GIGABYTE RTX 5070 Ti
• 32GB DDR5 RAM
• 2TB SSD
• Windows 11
• Free Resident Evil Requiem game

The $300 discount makes this one of the better values for a complete gaming system with current-generation components.

Why These Deals Matter

The timing is significant. AMD just launched the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, and these doorbusters essentially offer it at near-cost pricing. This suggests either aggressive channel clearing or a strategy to establish market share quickly.

The 64GB DDR5 deal is particularly notable given current market conditions. High-capacity DDR5 kits have been trading at premium prices due to AI and data center demand. A $499 price point for 64GB represents a return to more reasonable consumer pricing.

How to Score These Deals

Doorbusters go live at 9 AM PT (12 PM ET) on February 14 and 15. Given the extreme discounts and limited quantities, expect these to sell out in under 5 minutes. Newegg's site typically experiences heavy traffic during these events, so having an account ready and being logged in beforehand is advisable.

The regular Presidents' Day deals listed below the Doorbusters should have more plentiful stock, though the discounts won't be as aggressive.

Market Context

These deals come during a period of transition in the PC hardware market. AMD's Ryzen 9000 series is establishing itself against Intel's competing offerings, while NVIDIA's RTX 50-series GPUs are beginning to reach consumers. The aggressive pricing suggests retailers are competing fiercely for market share during the post-holiday shopping period.

For PC builders, this Presidents' Day weekend represents one of the best opportunities to upgrade components at significant discounts, particularly for those targeting high-end gaming or content creation systems.
