Fake DDR5 memory kits now on sale starting at $43 — V-Color sells 0GB dummy modules and single-stick memory kits with a fake stick for $300
V-Color's DDR5 filler memory featuring a real stick paired with a dummy module is now available around the UK and Europe, while the company's 0GB kits that just come with filler sticks are on sale in the US as well.
Fake DDR5 memory kits are now available for sale starting at $43, according to a report from V-Color. These kits, which mix real DDR5 sticks with dummy modules that don't contain any RAM, offer the illusion of a fully-slotted motherboard. The 1+1 kit is only available for the Manta XSky variant and in select regions such as the UK and Germany.
Pricing for these kits ranges from $43 to nearly $300 depending on the specific configuration. In the UK, Overclockers sells the 16GB 6,000 MT/s CL30 kit for $285, which includes one real stick of RAM and one filler module. In Europe, the 16GB 6,000 MT/s CL28 kit is listed for £330, or $384, in black. There are no North American listings for V-Color's 1+1 DDR5 kits currently.
However, 0GB kits are available on online retailers like Amazon and Newegg for around $44-$57, meant purely for decorative purposes.
