Comment on Russian enthusiasts planning do-it-yourself DDR5 memory amidst the worldwide shortage — building your own RAM is as 'easy' as sourcing your own memory modules and soldering them on empty PCBs

I thought part of the reason for increased ram prices was a shortage of chips and not the assembly of ram modules

It may be a viable option if you have a source of e-waste to salvage the chips from. Of course that will mean even more work since the chips will have to be reballed.

  I’m not sure there’s many DDR5 sticks of ram that are ewaste. Most probably still work just fine unless they were DOA and tossed.
