Einleitung

This repair guide will help guide you through the process to replace or upgrade your T-Force Delta RGB RAM in your PC. Depending on the computer case tower you have, you may need a Phillips head screw driver to remove the side panel. You will also of course need new RAM. This repair may be needed if you have troubleshooted your computer and have found your RAM is a problem. You may also be wanting to upgrade your RAM for better, newer, and faster RAM. Upgrading and replacing your current existing RAM is the same process.

    • Press the power button on the case of your PC to turn it off.

  2. fx2hSliDXO4Po3X4

    • Turn off the computer from the power supply in the back, and unplug the cable from the PSU.

    • This step is important as not doing so means the computer is still receiving power and can damage your computer parts or even shock you.

    Dont just turn off the PSU from the switch. Always unplug it completely to be 101% safe

    • Your RAM sticks are the two long cards with T-FORCE written on the top of them.

    Prior to touching any components within your computer you should make an effort to ground yourself to reduce the chance of a electro static discharge. This is generally as easy as touching the case of your computer however you can buy dedicated wristbands to be completely safe
