I’ve got no clue what to do. Tried selling them, looked into melting them down. Any help greatly appreciated. All the same brand, mix of 4GB and 8GB cards.

    You mean hundreds of dollars? Get on eBay brother.

  2. True-Experience-2273

    Sell them? Is this not obvious?

  3. SignalButterscotch73

    Sort them into 8,16,32Gb kits then sell them on ebay

  4. Alternative_Spite_11

    Maybe call one of those companies that flips old office computers and see if they want it?

  5. UlliSenpai

    But everyone seems to overlook that they are Ecc and not really worth anything. On aliexpress these get thrown all over you for next to nothing

  6. Evil_Kittie

    take them to r/hardwareswap and /r/homelabsales

  7. Dooster1592

    Get an older xeon server for cheap and set up a homelab.

  8. iTouchTheSky

    Since they’re ECC Registered, pretty sure you can them up for sale on eBay for people wanting to replace the RAM of their old servers to higher capacity.

    Bought some myself for an old server I was given.

    Create a “house of ddr” for fun, similar to making a house of cards with playing cards.

    I honestly thought that was k&n (car) air filters.

  11. CRSemantics

    For a second I thought these were car air filters

  12. harrymanback79

    Make air filters, from the looks of it.

    slow sales on ebay maybe pays for your fuel or McDonald’s cheesburgers

  14. Have fun extracting the gold (if they have any)? You probably wont make any money, but it will be fun (maybe)

    If you combine 10 ddr3 sticks you’ll get 1 ddr4 stick, combine 10 of those to get 1 ddr5 stick

  16. AudacityTheEditor

    Lots of systems still used DDR3. I have half a dozen still working in my house. I don’t use them, but I have plans for them.

    Those will sell online fairly well. Just packageb then in meaningful kits like you might find online, or sell them piece meal.

  17. slofella

    Lol, I was just looking to get 4x4gb ddr3 for a stupid nas server!

  18. ascendance22

    Wow the day I start looking for ddr3 ram for my older PC your post pops up except yours is ecc

  19. conte360

    Make some wall art. Or some kind of art where they are cast in resin

  20. CommercialBreadLoaf

    Get a DDR3 server motherboard, load it up. Or sell it, but that’s less fun

  21. Ripsky_was_taken

    Make it so others can download more ram.

  22. DukeOfGamers353

    Donate some to that guy who opened a cyber cafe in a remote place and sends regular updates here every few months. Love that guy

  23. C0mputerFriendly

    Build yourself a cool dual Xeon home server to stream your movies and music to your mobile device.

  24. Lanceo90

    People are saying it’s ECC…

    Could you maybe buy those dirt cheap xeons and build budget rigs to sell?

  25. Dalindarmodi

    Don’t waste it we’ve enough e-waste already, either donate them if you can’t sell or simply sell it.

  26. chiichan15

    You’d be surprised on how many people are still using ddr3s probably even majority

  27. CordyCeptus

    Buy old server racks and fire it up. Thats the only thing i could come up with when i had 5-6 mini pc’s from remote jobs lmao.

  28. If every game with a crafting system has taught me anything, three of those can be smashed together into a ddr4 stick.

    But to upgrade to ddr5, first you have to build a RAM compactor facility, research obsolete tech reconstruction, and have at least 5 crushercyborgs.

  29. chad711m

    Pretty sure there is a vendor somewhere that gives you DDR4 if you trade in at least 5 DDR3 sticks.

  30. Combine them, might be able to craft a few DDR5
