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.

Unlike other 4chan greentexts

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.

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 32 points 1 year ago

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

[-] alphapuggle@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] flubba86@lemmy.world 60 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Pinklink@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] angel@triptico.com 33 points 1 year ago

Those fuckers look pretty clean to me, good job

[-] KeyFranchise@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

That's some prime pc support gore...

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

It took me longer than I care to admit to find the problem

[-] gullible@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Only ever bought prebuilts, I’m guessing something was left behind on the motherboard?

[-] grysbok 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] gullible@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Jesus, I thought the clips were part of the ram. Thank you.

[-] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Apparently so did anon.

[-] EvokerKing@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

more like 15-20 years old

[-] Draegur@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

[-] SpicyPeaSoup@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

Someone just discovered greentexts

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Well it's basically just 4chan's greatest hits. 4chan is held together with slurs and unfunny stories

[-] Pinklink@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
