What's this?

[daimenworrall]

Just a quick one, i was browsing Amazon and found this memory. Can anybody shed some light on what it's actually for?

I think it's for testing the modules or "chips" that run across the RAM? I have no idea

It's so that you can change the memory chips from your ram. It serves no function other than that.

They basically claim it's for DDR4 testing and burn in, but reality - it's for scamming people into buying crap they don't need.

Literally nothing.

No one should be repairing dead RAM and very few people could do it.

it is in the product title: Memory Chip Burn in Socket

remove/replace memory chips.

someone can bin a stash of memory chips and install them onto a PCB.

this tool allows the chip to temporarily be installed to verify stability.
