ASRock Z270 Extreme4 - memory clips only on one side?

[futurefields]

Can anybody confirm the Extreme4 is only supposed to have clips on one side of the dimm slots?

It just seems strange too me, I am used to both sides having clips, and I have to say, I prefer both sides having clips, just feels more positively connected imo

At any rate, is this normal?

That's how all the DDR4 slots work from what I have worked with (Gigabyte, Asus, Asrock).

When you install it, and push in the one side, it is locked in.

Check The Google's images for inconsistencies.

Asus has been doing this for a while. My X58 Sabertooth only has clips on one side.

My AsRock Z170m Extreme4 is this way as well. This is normal but it did throw me for a loop last year when I built my system. Pretty easy to figure out though and the ram clicks into place just like the old way but on one side now instead of both.

I concur that ASUS has done this for a while. I like it better than having clips at both ends.

Yep, my asrock z170 7+ is identical. One side's a 'static clip', other side has the adjustable/movable clip.
