Building your own module still requires chips! This is just stupid, adding unneeded complexity of building your own when it doesn't solve the initial issue.

This is Russia we're talking about. A slightly bigger problem in obtaining the modules thanks to their invasion causing sanctions.
The cost "savings" aren't there either - the actual cost of the DIY modules rivals that of actual DDR5 RAM kits.

Did I interfere with your sense of superiority over the Russians, who are being led by no bigger a piece of shit than we are? You fucking cowardly little bitches are always afraid to face facts that don't make you look like heroes.
