ASUS DDR4 to DDR5 adapter

This just became useful, if 3 years late, I'm sure it would be very welcomed right now with the prices.

Not sure if it ever saw the light of day though.

A Youtuber by the name of Bing (via Anandtech) posted a video (in Mandarin) that explains the concept and shows off a prototype in action. The idea is simple. Take a stick of DDR4 memory, place it onto the converter card, and insert it into a motherboard’s DDR5 slot. However, if the idea is simple, in an engineering sense, it’s far more complicated.

Don't be using a Noctua D15 cooler then, those would never fit

It wouldn't surprise me if that was one of the reasons it didn't materialise. Along with a general steady decline in price a year after this was originally leaked.

You've got to love janky hardware stuff!

I am sure there was actual DDR3-DDR4 adapters.

In reality if it can work and can be made cheap enough someone will make it, of course the more ridiculous ram gets the more someone will be willing to pay for such devices.
