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

Russian enthusiasts are tackling the global DDR5 memory shortage by DIY-ing their own RAM. By sourcing memory modules and soldering them onto empty PCBs, they aim to create their own memory sticks. The cost to build a 16 GB stick is estimated to be around $152, comparable to retail prices. While this DIY approach may not be cost-effective yet, with memory prices soaring, these enthusiasts might be onto something innovative amidst the ongoing memory crisis.
