I’m 99% sure this is a shitpost.
You’d have to be significantly less intelligent than a raccoon, to not notice the little levers on the sides of the RAM sticks.
Everyone talks about the levers on RAM sticks, but why the FUCK is nobody talking about levers on PCI-E sticks? I thought those didn’t exist and did the same thing as OP.
those can actually get hidden by big ass GPUs. And be pretty hard to release.
luckily they aren’t necessary, I’ve had many people come into my shop after breaking the pcie clips and I just make sure it’s screwed in firmly and they’re good to go. they are a bitch tho
Lever on my mobo just gave up one day and went under the shroud
That’s the thing, at one point they didn’t exist. I almost ripped one out of my motherboard when I first got one with a latch.
I did rip one out of my motherboard. But they’re purely mechanical so it’s not actually a big deal (and the mobo was broken anyway).
I’m 99% sure this is a shitpost.
Unlike other 4chan greentexts
\s
Clearly fake. Those slots were desoldered from a board, and DIMMs placed in them for the lulz.
How you know mr “I solder stuff”?
If you’ve ever seen an idiot actually rip surface-mounted components off a PCB, you’ll know. They tend to take pads and traces with them, and it’s not pretty.
Now, the OOP anon could have ripped those off and scraped off the remnants, but it’s unlikely they would do that for the sake of the photo if they were genuinely stupid enough to pull out the connector.
Ah, thank you. Lol to downvotes I got for asking. Didn’t think my silly name calling could be genuinely taken as condescending, but I was actually asking so thanks
Those fuckers look pretty clean to me, good job
That’s some prime pc support gore…
It took me longer than I care to admit to find the problem
Only ever bought prebuilts, I’m guessing something was left behind on the motherboard?
When they removed the sticks of RAM they also removed the slots the RAM goes into.
Edit: like removing the light bulb socket to change a light bulb.
Jesus, I thought the clips were part of the ram. Thank you.
Apparently so did anon.
This actually doesn’t look that bad. I know it’s not good but you don’t need new ram (even if it is 4gb of ram). You only need a new motherboard which is probably an old one because you wouldn’t pair a bad CPU with a good motherboard and it has to be a bad CPU since no good CPU will run with 4gb of ram. The motherboard for this probably costs under $30.
Edit: just realized it’s 1337mhz ram so the motherboard has to be at least 5-10 years old.
more like 15-20 years old
That
