Didnt LTT also do this, only remember it being slower but usable.

I have no clue. I usually watch a good bit of LTT but I don't recall watching a video when they did this, though I'm sure I could have just missed it.

Does seem like something they'd do though.

It's sketchy to say the least. Just buy 8GB DDR4, it's not even huge cost savings compared to buying the adapter.
