I knew how to align it, but the sticks itself would not go all the way in while applying force, but as soon as I verified my alignment and just did one thumb press to top and one thumb press to the bottom , it went right in. Thank you again sir

    Some of these newer cpu cooling heat sinks are monstrous in size and they block the ram slots and thus in some cases you need a low height ram chip. I wish motherboard manufacturers would be more conscious of the type of components being used on their boards and hence design the placement a little better

    All these years been used to having both ends open up on the slots. Of course, putting in one end first is intuitive. It's obvious. YET, the hell we went through trying to get the ram in was insane. How hard were we supposed to push into that corner!?? Our experience was nothing like what you demonstrated.

    Really appreciate this video. I just switched out the single 16gb stick that came with my g15dk. And replaced it with 2 16gb corsair cards. A lot of the videos I watched said to start at the slot closest to the processor. But that did not work and when I put them in the two grey slots instead, everything worked perfectly. From what I understand, the only way to use my third stick and keep the pc at dual channel, is to get a 4th. As they work in pairs for dual channel. Can you tell me if this is true? And would it be better if I only used the 2 new sticks. Rather than 3. And you may have already done so. But a video explaining how to get argb with a non rgb board. I finally figured it out I think. But info is very scarce it seems. I just ordered a simple argb controller. And I'm hoping I'll have a sata connector coming from my power supply that will work for my fan lights. Thanks again.

    It will depend on the motherboard. If it supports quad channel then you are better off with 4x8.. If only 2 slots are for dual channel and the rest two are single channel supported( as in most of the mobo) it will not matter.
