I’m 99% sure this is a shitpost.

You’d have to be significantly less intelligent than a raccoon, to not notice the little levers on the sides of the RAM sticks.

Everyone talks about the levers on RAM sticks, but why the FUCK is nobody talking about levers on PCI-E sticks? I thought those didn’t exist and did the same thing as OP.

those can actually get hidden by big ass GPUs. And be pretty hard to release.

luckily they aren’t necessary, I’ve had many people come into my shop after breaking the pcie clips and I just make sure it’s screwed in firmly and they’re good to go. they are a bitch tho

That’s the thing, at one point they didn’t exist. I almost ripped one out of my motherboard when I first got one with a latch.

Clearly fake. Those slots were desoldered from a board, and DIMMs placed in them for the lulz.

If you’ve ever seen an idiot actually rip surface-mounted components off a PCB, you’ll know. They tend to take pads and traces with them, and it’s not pretty.

Now, the OOP anon could have ripped those off and scraped off the remnants, but it’s unlikely they would do that for the sake of the photo if they were genuinely stupid enough to pull out the connector.

Ah, thank you. Lol to downvotes I got for asking. Didn’t think my silly name calling could be genuinely taken as condescending, but I was actually asking so thanks

Only ever bought prebuilts, I’m guessing something was left behind on the motherboard?

When they removed the sticks of RAM they also removed the slots the RAM goes into.

Edit: like removing the light bulb socket to change a light bulb.

Jesus, I thought the clips were part of the ram. Thank you.
