Skinny motherboard

Hi, my motherboard is kinda skinny (small). Is there a way I can buy like a cable or something so I can have more ram on it? I am planning on using it to host a minecraft server and it's just terrible with 8gb ddr3 ram, it can barely handle a thing.... It would be amazing if it is possible. What do you think ?

So I'm guessing you only have 2 DIMM slots on your board, and you're using 2 x 4GB of DDR3? The obvious answer is to buy a new RAM kit that has at least 8GB per module, then double up on that to go 2 x 8GB.

eBay is quite literally drowning in 8GB DDR3-sticks.

What socket are you on? AliExpress has cheap LGA 1155 boards. Not sure how easy those are to get in Sweden.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.
