6.1
Russian modder VIK-on recently assembled a 32GB desktop DDR5 stick by transplanting SK Hynix SO-DIMM chips onto a custom PCB and flashing Adata retail firmware. The homemade module runs at 6400 MT/s XMP and cost 17,015 Rubles (~$218), undercutting comparable retail 32GB DDR5 sticks listed around $350. The stick is BIOS-detectable and compatible with standard motherboards.
