Hello. Today was the day I finally decided to install CPU cooler on my old i5 2500k. The problem occoured when I had to move one Ram from 1st to 2nd slot, so I had enough space to install CPU cooler. When I did that I (clumsy me) broke clip-lever that holds RAM in place. My motherboard is Asus P6P67 evo where I have 2 black and 2 blue slots for dual channel (1-2-1-2) The problem is I can't use second slot as well because I broke clip holder as well few years ago when I was building my rig. This motherboard has 1 side clip mounting so it clips only from one side.
The problem is RAM in one of these broken clips doesn't work, so I can use RAM only on 3rd and 4th slots (no dual channel). I am just wondering why don't they work since slot holds it in place itself really good and they are pushed in enough. These clips are just normal plastic clips so I don't think they have any sensors in them. What is the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks!
