It is. As Salem Techsperts tested on their YouTube channel, you often have to downclock the RAM for it to actually function without errors.
However, with the prices for RAM still being so high, you could save a decent amount of money with this if you’re willing to keep your speeds a little lower.
If you’re slowing it down beyond ddr4 or ddr3 Levels, you’re better buying an older system that’s not as inflated. Though related to that, the price of ddr4 motherboards has shot up as there’s a shortage due to people pairing it with affordable ram
That feels so bad for signal integrity, especially at 5+ GT/s

Didnt LTT also do this, only remember it being slower but usable.
I have no clue. I usually watch a good bit of LTT but I don’t recall watching a video when they did this, though I’m sure I could have just missed it.
Does seem like something they’d do though.
