Question 1

Is this considered a 'matched set'?

Accepted Answer

Should be, i have it running in my system, although i had to downclock to 4800 for stability (not the RAM's fault, probably my mobo's memory controller).  256GB is pushing the limits of what most can handle and i'm not comfortable with voltage tweaks beyond basic EXPO settings

I specifically bought this so I knew it'd be a matched set

Question 2

Why DDR5 RAM is so expensive now?

Accepted Answer

DDR5 Memory is pricey due to the surging demand from AI server farms and data centers, which has caused a global memory shortage. This has led memory manufacturers to prioritize more profitable server-grade memory like HBM (high-Bandwidth Memory) over consumer-grade DDR5, drastically reducing supply for consumers while simultaneously causing the prices for both DDR5 and DDR4 to increase.
