# YouTuber Converts Laptop DDR5 RAM for Desktop Use October 31, 2026 at 08:18 AM > Blighted Agent successfully modified 32 GB of SO-DIMM memory into desktop RAM, achieving stable overclocked speeds of 7800 MT/s. YouTuber **Blighted Agent** successfully converted 32 GB of **DDR5** laptop memory into functional desktop RAM for a total cost of $175. The project began with two 16 GB DDR5 **SO-DIMM** sticks purchased on **Facebook Marketplace** for $120 to serve as the donor hardware. The conversion required $55 in extra parts, including new DDR5 DIMM PCBs and heatsinks from **AliExpress**. Using a preheater, the creator removed the BIOS, SPD, and eight memory chips from the laptop sticks before reballing and soldering them onto the new PCBs. The DIY kit proved highly capable, reaching an overclocked frequency of 7800 MT/s at CL38. After 90 minutes of stability testing, the converted memory functioned without blue screens during normal use, demonstrating a successful hardware modification process. #PCModding [#DDR5]() #HardwareHack [#Overclocking]() #TechDIY ## Related news ## [Radeon RX 9070 GRE Hits Record 3.9 GHz Overclock]() November 1, 2026 at 09:23 AM ## [YouTube Modder Cools PC With 4kW AC Radiator]() October 31, 2026 at 09:20 AM ## [KLEVV Launches CRAS V RGB PRIME DDR5 Memory]() October 28, 2026 at 12:07 PM ## [Thermal Grizzly Debuts TG x CENS LN2 GPU Pot]() October 23, 2026 at 03:31 PM ## [AMD Releases Ryzen Overclocking Driver for Linux]() October 21, 2026 at 07:49 PM
