Yahoo! Auctions: Adding 16GB (8GBx2) of RAM

English

Got them for 2,200 yen. DDR4. I just placed a bid and won the auction right away. Apparently, you can find them even cheaper.

And yet, for some reason, one stick wasn't being recognized.

When I looked closely, there was some kind of gooey resin-like substance stuck on the pins. After cleaning it off with parts cleaner, it was recognized. Since I added 16GB to my existing 8GB, I now have a total of 24GB. That's way too much. 16GB is more than enough. Honestly, even 8GB might have been fine.
