I mean, this is understandable. But how much are you actually saving to justify the extra work? How many ICs can you burn and still be saving money?

Afaik, it costs 24k rub for 32GB to DiY. 40k for the cheapest DIMM kit I could find

I see! Then as far as I can tell this is viable for your own use if you already have tools and knowledge on how to solder ICs. Plausibly it is not economical for any person to do. I guess you could do it for profit, but margins may be quite low if you account for time; but I may be wrong on this.
