DDR5 RAM - Dummy Ram DIMMs or 2-slot Mobos?

Posted by MMeSSeDD@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 7 comments

Hey all --

After learning that boards supporting DDR5 ram are better with two DIMMS instead of four, I was wondering if, for aesthetic purposes, you knew of any models the dummy DIMMs, purely for the aesthetic?

Alternatively I'm kind of open to Motherboards with only two slots, but with light research I'm seeing those are hard enough to find, let alone in a white bulid I'm oging for lol.

Thanks in advance 🤙

Corsair sells them on their website. It’s call enhancement kit

Looks like the only white ddr5 model is the dominator.

Amazon sells it also. The other ddr5 model, vengeance , the dummy ram haven’t released but can preorder for mid December

Ooooo, I was actually ok with theDominator aesthetic, but the Vengeance looks much better!I'm also not planning on completing my build until late December thru late January, so this would line right up. You've been a great help, much appreciated!!

1 slot per channel boards get better performance because of the shorter traces, 2 slot for budget, 8 slot for esthetics/performance
