Custom and DIY RAM

I have a problem, I know I do but just hear me out. I currently am running 16 GB of ram and overload it on a daily basis and have been stewing while I wait for my computer to open task manager and become responsive again for a while now, and for a couple of weeks I have been thinking about ways around this issue when I had some ideas come to mind.  The first one was that I don't have a case on my computer so space is not an issue for me what if I could get a ram card that was just 20 cm tall with a ton of chips on it and I found Asus's  double capacity RAM but I don't have an Asus board that supports that and that's still more then I can afford for a glorious 128 or 256 GB setup. Then I learned that you could replace the RAM chip on a MacBook with some soldering tools and practice and that got me thinking could I just design a gigantic ram stick in Autodesk Eagle, get some PCBs from China, and solder on my own chips.

I know this seems excessive but I am gonna do it anyway so if you have information that can help me I would greatly appreciate it.  Also, LTT staff, if you're out there I would love you to explore modding ram or custom ram.

have fun with the traces i guess

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.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
