Still need a solution for standing ram up higher as still hitting psu, ordered a strip of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283290032728 ... 4155495048

What RAM card are you actually trying to fit ?

[alienkidmj12]

See up, the pcb is too close to psu pcb so needs lifting a bit

cheers

Ah,. Mine (blue) misseses the PSU by a couple of mm. The black cat one is larger so it doesn't physically fit.

I would suggest you just get a simm socket as it looks like you're going down a world of pain otherwise..

I'm assuming you need to have the board all the way onto the pins at the back, i managed to get it on, with about 5 mm of the pins left showing.

bit annoying really, can't even shave anything off the pcb as circuit is real near the edge

i've another falcon board but the sim is actually underneath, so that also wouldn't fit.

anyways, i get no video output yet, so i'm guessing its this.

Probably isn't contacting properly.

@alienkidmj12 one option if you need to raise the Falcon RAM board height is to use longer header pins.

I used them on my ALPHA board to clear the PSU. You can just see the board on the taller headers in the pic below.
