Wavy RAM?

[ygilbert81]

I have never seen this. The ram pins are not of equal lenght... can anyone explain this?

[Mister Woof]

every ram module i have does that 

 

i have 16 DDR4 modules 

 

as i understand it, this is by design 

[Lurick]

That's part of the enhancements for additional zero-insertion force for DDR4

[minibois]

That curve is intentional, it's a feature:

Curved edge
DDR4 modules feature a curved edge to help with insertion and alleviate stress on the PCB during memory installation.

Thanks a lot guys. Do any of you know which dims to populate for a dual channel on a Dell g5 5000 desktop?

The dimm slots to pupulate would probably be in the manual. Almost always, it is the farthest from the CPU and the slot two to the left of it.

 

Also make sure to quote us so we can see your responses.

I have looked in the manual and there is no indication whatsoever.

If you use CPU-z in windows, it will tell you if the ram is running in dual channel or single channel. Worst case scenario, you can test different configs.

Factory came with populated in white slot closest to cpu. Knew I was getting another and didn't bother changing since was single ram. Just put second in other white furthest from cpu and is running dual channel so all is well.
