Ddr4 ram extender

Is there such a thing as a ram cable so that you could have your ram in a different part of the case like a ram equivalent of a pci-e riser cable

Can I ask why? are you making a custom case?

Just hit Ctrl+F and search DDR4, it will come up, thats about as close as i've seen..

By the way you also have to take into latency the added wire length from the cable adds, it may not be much but will still slow the ram slightly.

I do not believe so, latency is a big issue with RAM, which is why it is so close to the CPU on the motherboard, so a cable, with 2 points of contact instead of the usual one, is very risky. 

 

Not to mention that usual one uses gold, a lot of surface area, and is locked into place via the slots.

oh becasue i was going to make a custom case and the height is an issue

 

[derick90]

another question.... Why?? Get some low profile ram and call it a day. 

[coolfx]

can you think of any other way

Low profile Ram is your best option, even the right angle ram adapters are as tall as or taller than low profile.

some low profile ram is shorter than most CPU blocks.. and is most certainly shorter than an air cooler.

You can try crucial ballistix. 

[coolfx]

are there any ddr4 suggestions

 

[derick90]

Hyper X Fury is rather low profile

[coolfx]

Are there any mother boards

that have the ram at an angle

Um... not to my knowledge.. Seriously though how do you plan on cooling your CPU if even the ram is too tall??

[coolfx]

Custom air cooling

[derick90]

Also forgetting that the IO on a motherboard will be around the same height as the ram?

[coolfx]

Yeah I figured that I will cut it off and have single height pci e io on a riser cabble

[coolfx]

Are there any lag 1151 socket laptop boards

[derick90]

Don't believe so, and even with that you would lose your PCIE anyway.. Seems like you're better off with a laptop anywho, and losing the screen will make it thin as well

How do laptops connect there GPUs then ?

[harrynowl]

Not practical cause you'd send latency through the roof.

Often balled to the board. If you're lucky it's based on MXM.
