    The notch is literally in a different place. It’s subtle but it is different. It physically wouldn’t fit. Doesn’t mean someone wouldn’t try to force it, seeing as it would be labeled as DDR5, then maybe the damage would make it nonrefundable?

    I’m an idiot who can’t read. Chip != Stick

      The article isn’t about a ddr4 stick being sold as ddr5, it’s about a ddr5 stick with re engraved ddr4 modules on it. There’s no point in going through the trouble of re engraving the modules as ddr5 just to put them on a ddr4 stick.

        Thanks for the correction. To much doom scrolling for me - I apparently didn’t even read the title.
