My understanding is that DDR5 is very sensitive to matched pairs of modules. I don't think you can rely on individually purchased sticks working together. Not to say that it can't work, but it might be a crapshoot.
I wonder how long it will be until Steam Machine owners start selling their original sticks to other Steam Machine owners, and then buying a matched pair for themselves.
