Dummy RAM

Hey ya,

Silly question but has anyone seen any dummy DDR4 ram sticks?

I have a motherboard that has 8 slots but I can only afford/need 4 sticks so I just wanted to fill the extra slots just to make it look better. I could fork out and get 8 sticks BUT that’s an overkill for my system I’d rather put money in elsewhere or save it.

Or if anyone has some faulty Corsair Vengeance RGB or G.Skill Trident Z RGB ram…Don’t care on speeds as the pins won’t be connected to the socket anyway.

Cheers.

Never thought they'd make that.

Agreed though, just leave it empty.

You see them in rackmount poweredges all the time, they claim it is to ensure proper airflow. I am not sure I believe they are really necessary though :p

Gigabyte is coming out with a pair of Aorus 16GB rgb 3200 mhz DDR4 memory and includes 2 additional dummy sticks to do exactly what you want. I think its a pretty cool idea. I only wish more companies would do it.
