Idk why, but I wanted to replace the thermal pads in my RAM sticks, and it turned out that the memories were GLUED TO THE RADIATOR!! YEY!!!

There’s 0 reason to ever think you have to replace it….
But congratulations on your new ram stick.
Ooof!! That’s gotta hurt.
Do other people not think “maybe I’m pulling too hard. Not tryna break this thing.
Never heard of anyone replacing thermal pads on sticks of ram
Why in the world would you attempt to remove the heat spreader?
Long gone are the days where RAM was sold as just the bare PCB, and aftermarket heat spreaders were held on with some double-sided tape.
0Gb RAM
AT THIS MOMENT, HE KNEW, HE HAD FUCKED UP.mp3
It’s OK, you can always download more ram.

…
ram sticks don’t use thermal pads lmao, why would you ever replace them
How do you think the heat spreader was attached to the ram stick? Almost certainly never screws
now you have single sided RAM
Oof that is just PAINFUL
I mean if they arent cracked you may be able to squish or slide it back on and have it function
I’m honestly impressed…… you don’t need to replace them but, if you’re going to anyway: hot air gun set BELLOW the melting point of solder, pry lightly, leave the whole stick in a bath of 99% isopropyl for an hour, remove goo.
Okay how did they rip off this cleanly? How much heat and force did you use!?
I’m not even sure why or how this would happen unless there are some trolls out there who manage to sucker people like this guy thinking this helps their pc performance.
Upgraded to external Ramdisk
And this is why u never fix what isn’t broken.
Ah, yes. The ramless stick
when would you ever need to focus on the cooling capabilites of ram lmao
Yeah, i think they use more of a thermal compund glue than regular paste.
And it didn’t occur to you to, idk, do some research first to see if it’s even something that can be done?
Some of these posts here … How do you people get through the day without forgetting to breathe?
Was the RAM hot when you tried that? Never seen that before.
Lmao
If that shroud is metal and you have a heat gun you may be able to reflow them back on. Just put it back together and nuke it for no less than 4 minutes evenly around it. 4 mins sounds like a lot but that shroud will eat a ton of heat. Not a sure shot to work, especially if bga pads were ripped off, but if it’s trash otherwise might be worth a try.
I don’t see what’s wrong, you just doubled your RAM.

I give you B+ for your effort
