I'd expect it to not run at all, no? Otherwise why are we not seeing ddr5 only mobo/CPU compatible ddr4 sticks?

    Idk, I assumed as they're on a ddr5 stick their interface must be compatible or get translated somehow to make the computer boot up. Otherwise they could avoid all the trouble and ship an empty stick.
