Hey everyone! I've finally built my PC after waiting for years, but I had some bad luck with RAM prices going up. I found a solo stick of G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5, 6000MHz CL36 that's brand new but it's just one part of a 2x16GB kit. I'm curious if using this single stick will lead to any issues and how it might affect my performance.

You shouldn't run into major problems, just a bit of reduced performance. It’ll work fine on its own, and you can always add another stick later. For most games, the performance hit isn’t significant. Some titles, like Cyberpunk or Rainbow Six, show minimal difference in practice, while others might get a noticeable impact. So not a deal-breaker! Check this video for more details: [link].
Thanks, that eases my mind! Fingers crossed I can find the same RAM stick soon.
