mohit9206 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Suggest a laptop under 20 to 25k for work purpose only ? Any laptop with i3 and 4gb ram will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have an A/C in your PC room? So, can I increase RAM speed without OCing CPU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yes, you can. You have a B350 board or an X370? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Check XMP profiles for the RAM first. You can brute force RAM but that will require manual overclocking. Moreover, Intel chips do not gain nearly as much from RAM tweaks compared to AMD's Ryzen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In bios under ram settings. You have to enable XMP profile. Although like aplha said doesn't really matter for Intel though. 3200mhz is enough.

It should allow you to toggle between a couple different presets. 23 minutes ago, Defender487 said: Brand ? Anything but local brands and Lenovo.

djanuj Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Anything but local brands and Lenovo. Do I have to do anything here? Or is this settings enough? Also on cpu z I cannot see any info on spd. Why? And memory tab shows only 1066mhz used per stick and total 4200mhz under NB Frequency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Check out all the profiles supported by your memory. Although as I said, Intel processors do not gain anything significant if you over-clock RAM. DDR -- Double Data Rate, multiply that figure (1066MHz) by 2 and you will get your current speed ~2133MHz. I do not know about CPU-Z, which slots have RAM on your board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, the slots are populated in certain ranks for implementing dual channel.So first two DIMM Slots is where my rams are. See the pic. Sorry it's slot 3 and 4 as per cpu z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 The wiring is atrocious in there. DIMM #0 and #1 seem to be empty from that image. Look up the motherboard manual to see if you are even running the RAM in dual-channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's DIMM slot 3 and 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Then look for RAM details in those slots in CPU-Z. I know, it is a Cooler Master design, no one else uses exposed FEP piping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
