Low-profile DIMMs
Scott
✭
I'm looking for 2 x 8GB DDR3-1600 DIMMs, but due to an obstruction, it needs to have a low profile. My existing DIMMs are 30mm and don't fit. Does Micro Center have any shorter DIMMs in this specification?

The shortest DIMMs we have are going to be any that don't have a heatsink included, like this one:

I don't know exactly how tall these are, but RAM size is standardized so if this is what your current RAM looks like, that's the shortest you're going to be able to go. -
Hello @Scott DDR3 is unfortunately has a lower supply right now. Currently I am only showing standard memory dimms available. If the obstruction is the cpu cooler may have options to replace that to give more room to the memory.

Thanks for the quick responses! Yes, it's a CPU cooler. I'm going to look into some options there (LGA1150) because I'm starting to think that low-profile DDR3 could be difficult to find or expensive.

Yes, currently newer builds are using DDR4 memory, but here is a list of LGA1150 compatible coolers that may be helpful. https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx?N=4294966927+4294820525&Ntt=&prt=&sku_list=&Ntx=&Ntk=all&Nr=.
