I discovered a fresh DDR5 RAM unit for $3 about a year ago at an Amazon returns location close to my home in Georgia. I’m currently assembling a system based on the AM5 platform and have already acquired all the remaining components. My setup includes a Ryzen 5 7600x, ASUS B650E Max Gaming Wi-Fi, and an RTX 5060ti. I’ve been checking online forums and reviews but haven’t found any confirmed information about this particular RAM model or its compatibility with my build. Could anyone direct me to a reliable source that can verify if it works with my configuration? If not, I might need to delay starting the project for a few weeks while I save up for additional RAM. Thanks in advance for your help!

You're hesitating because of uncertainty or fear about the outcome.

Heard some tales about folks damaging their motherboards by using mismatched RAM. And I’m new to setting up a PC from scratch, this is my very first complete build.

Typically the issue stems from poor quality sticks, not incompatibility. If it’s truly incompatible, your PC won’t start, and that’s the end. If it works, you’ve got a functional machine with just 3GB of RAM.

It's truly remarkable, particularly given the current circumstances.

I noticed these tales coming from various places, but you should cease traveling there. I’ll focus on getting things done, not rushing like the others. A year back, it felt like an unusually cheap deal, even for the 5600CL40.

The package is a 32GB unit visible on the back label. One stick was sent back while another remained, which might indicate a faulty item or a typical return issue.

He believed he was displaying both sticks in the kit. Fine.
