I paid a hundred and eighty dollars for that motherboard, what the gently caress lol what the gently caress trash motherboard did you get i got a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite last year and it didn't have that poo poo

I paid a hundred and eighty dollars for that motherboard, what the gently caress weird i like the 1-sided clasp design a lot better i think lots of people broke the dual-clasps not quite understanding how the exact seating mechanic worked, and the single side gives a clearer implied method to seat them? And less force required. at least, *i* feel a lot less like im about to destroy the mainboard itself pushing ram down when using the leverage of the hinged side and swinging it down into place

yeah i think i like the one sided ones better too. leverage is superior to pushing straight down and feeling like you're going to crack the board in half

ddr pins are not meant for that sort of swivel bullshit. i will disagree i with the hooting mob here.

90% of people probably snap one side down first and then the other anyway so ddr pins will be just fine

At the cost of bending the board a lot, but it ended up fine so i figured that was the right way

Jonny 290 posted:ddr pins are not meant for that sort of swivel bullshit. clearly it works fine at least once, so i assume you mean the pins will wear out sooner if you do it a lot of times. who cares? why are you taking ram out of your computer? why are you reusing the sticks? don't you have 128gb of ram for some insane reason?

ddr socket fingers are not meant for sideways movement and you forgot to include your calculations of how much those things gotta slide sideways when you jam one end in to a fixed socket and swivel the other down to secure

i totally see your point from a theoretical technical perspective. even if it's true, i think it literally does not matter for 99.999% of users. and if it were causing damage to ddr sockets more than one time in a million, we would have heard about it.

Sure. it's still pennywise and slightly abusive to the socket spec. that's my main problem. I'm sure it works fine and I jammed $520 of RAM into those sockets and it works fine, but it doesnt mean i gotta like it.

ram is the kind of thing that is expected to be installed and removed like, 3 times in its entire lifespan. it's probably built to withstand hundreds of cycles you're not going to gently caress it up by applying slight torsion on the contacts during seating

I recall in 2009-ish having an RSS reader, and it was sublime. Everything I cared to keep tabs on in one spot. Some how everyone got tricked into using 4 different social media sites I have to keep phantom accounts on to follow the bands and artists and poo poo I like.

if you want to complain about something, complain about pci-e card locks. usually the video card is so big that you can't even reach down to disengage the lock.

I use a block of wood & a hydraulic press to seat my RAM, ensuring a perfect insertion as both latches click in absolute synchronicity milliseconds before being crushed into dust with the rest of the mobo.

scientists believe that around 65 million years ago the dinosaurs were completely wiped out by an asteroid impact so large that it covered the entire earth in ash and dust. the impact itself was so massive that it generated upwards of 1/8 of the force required to insert a single stick of DDR4 ram

deep in an underground bunker 2500 feet below the earths mantle in Denver Colorado, Jonny 290 undertakes the most daunting task: safely install 128GB of DDR4. he wipes the sweat from his brow as he stares at a the Asus ROG 360 NoScOpE special edition RGB motherboard and matched Ballistix ram with gold anodized heat sinks. “here we go” he mutters to the team pumping oxygen to keep them all alive deep below the earths surface. “it’s a risk, but the extra chrome tabs will be worth it”. he grabs the glistening ram stick and has to make the hardest decision of his life…….one side first, or both sides at the same time. existence itself hangs in the balance and only he can make the call. Jonny steels himself and says aloud, as record for future generations “we’re going full insertion, both tabs at the same time”. a gasp is heard from the bystanders. they’ve only heard of this technique, it’s never been tried. the ram shines in the harsh laboratory lights. the pressing begins. the ram moves downwards at the same time, clear across the earth, in Australia:
