Hey there! I’m looking into this situation. You have two DIMM slots in your laptop and two 8GB DDR4 RAM sticks you’re considering swapping in. The existing RAM has unmarked silver stickers on both sides. Do you think these stickers might be useful? If so, where could you find them? I’m not sure if peeling them off and reusing one would work well. Your laptop model is an Asus FX504GM. Thanks!

It's not a simple sticker; it functions as a thermal conductor, similar to a heat sink for your RAM chips on the circuit board.

It appears to be a weak effort at a thermal pad, possibly just a label or a simple heat dissipation method.

Seems like a thermal conductor for me.
