The delivery process seemed a bit tricky. The RAM didn’t quite fit through the letterbox and got a little stuck. When I opened the box, I saw some creases on the outer box where it had been pressed against the mail slot. After removing it, the RAM looked straight with no bending. I also checked how well the packaging held up without the RAM inside—it felt very firm and didn’t bend easily. Based on what you’ve described, it seems solid, but since you’re new to components, a second opinion might be wise.

It's probably just the RAM issue—try running the system with it and perform some memory checks to confirm.

Simply place it on a system. If it works, everything is okay; if not, you can return it without hassle. Likely it will function just fine.

@CommanderAlex and Andrei, good news—Crucial Ballistix is a priority. I secured a dual rank kit, and according to the info I’ve gathered, it’s quite a chance game whether you land a single or dual spot. Thanks!
