What does "changing the RAM continuously" mean? 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Never had that happen before and some boards I'm using are at least 15 years old.
I know if you're not inserting the RAM correctly it can have adverse effects but I've never ran into what you are describing.

If you change the ram frequently.,It will cause the locks on the two sides to loosen up and you will have trouble keeping the memory in place.

 

Like we're talking about literally just taking the RAM out of the slots and putting them back in?

 

Yeah, I guess that's true. I guess that theoretically if you did it enough times (like hundreds or thousands, probably) there might be enough wear and tear on the "fingers" of the RAM stick or to the slot to cause a problem.

 

I think it's functionally impossible that would ever happen though unless you purposefully set out to do it by just taking the RAM out and then reinserting it over and over and over and over and over for some indefinite length of time. If @Hm...is worried about damaging something simply by removing and replacing RAM modules a few times in the course of rebuilding or testing, there's no need for concern.
