can you out a 288 pin ddr3 dimm in a 240 pin ddr3 slot?

[Bean Cooling]

 I am trying to make a pimped out rig and the ddr3 dimm slots on my motherboard are 240 pin, will a 288 pin ddr3 dimm work?

[LienusLateTips]

288 pin DDR3s don't exist, you mean DDR4?

 

 

Either way no, that's like fitting LGA 1151 into an LGA 775 socket.

288-pin DDR4 and 240-pin DDR3 are not compatible.

I mean you COULD, but it wouldn't work. 

Fine:

Again, you could do that. It still wouldn't work.

This argument is fun 

Trying to stuff a Threadripper chip into an LGA1151 socket? Or are you going to crack out the pliers?
