T440p RAM 1.35 voltage

Hello, I'm using Tinkpad T440p 20AN - 003AKR.
I'm developing a program running on linux. and running two virtual machines, installed cent-os on Windows Hyper-V.
I wanna add a 8GB memory on my thinkpad, and have searched internet shop, and I found memories that have different voltage.
There are two different memory types like below:
1. DDR3 8G PC3-12800 1.5 voltage
2. DDR3 8G PC3-12800 1.35 voltage
Can I use a memory number 2 (voltage 1.35)?
I think they are same, except low-voltage or not. and I expect long battery life if I use 1.35 voltage memory.
Plz, let me know it is OK or not.

Yes any App that is RAM hungry will benefit from having more RAM, up to a point. Once you have enough installed that the normal apps you run do not use all of it then the extra is just left doing nothing. If those memory hungry apps aren't running all the memory is just sitting there doing nothing.
More RAM is much better then not enough RAM. But as I stated above "Adding more RAM will not make your system run any faster". It will just be able to run at its normal speed when you have a lot of Apps open at once or are using RAM hungry apps.

I do a decent amount of video editing on imovie, and only had 4mb of RAM installed. I was told imovie would run much faster with the extra RAM installed? not the case?

T440p RAM Upgrade

Hey Guys,
I have a T440p with 8GB RAM.
Since i do a lot of work on 3D softwares i want to upgrade my RAM to 16GB
Could you suggest me which is the best performance RAM compatible for my laptop ?
Thank You.
Regards
Roy

I use the G.Skill DDR3 2133 in my T440p with the i7-4900 cpu. I think it is outstanding. I haven't used Corsair which is the other manufacture of memory at this speed, and somewhat more expensive.

In the T540p with the i7-4700 and the T430 with the i5-3320 I use G.Skill DDR3 1866 which is also super. G.Skill performs exactly on spec in all three machines.

Memory Voltage X58 Platinum

Hi,
I recently bought 2 GTX 460's to SLI with my X58 Platinum. I have been having lock ups while gaming that sometimes include white blocks all over the screen. EVGA tech support has told me to ensure my ram timings and voltages are set correctly for the RAM I use to ensure stability. The memory model I use is OCZ3G1333LV6GK. I changed the timings to 9-9-9-20, but I was unable to change the voltage from 1.5 to the recommended 1.65. The option was greyed out and the BIOS stated that changing the voltage to 1.65 could potentially damage the cpu.
Can I/Should I find a way to force the voltage up? Is this the incorrect RAM/Mobo Combination? What do you all think?

1.65V is the absolute maximum Intel has defined for DRAM voltage. Ignore the warning.

Lenovo Yoga 11s SSD and RAM Upgrade - Great Results

Picked up a Lenovo Yoga 11s from Best Buy. I chose Best Buy for price, color, and processor. They had a slightly better deal than Lenovo.com. The clementine color looks great. Quality is great. I'm very happy with the purchase. It has the i5 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD.
I upgraded the SSD and RAM and found the upgrade relatively easy. Here is a basic step by step and results. (note the parts I chose increased the cost by close to $400. I chose these parts based on quality, performance, and power usage. There are cheaper alternatives, but I wanted an upgrade and money was not my concern.)
Upgraded Parts
RAM - Patriot Memory 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHZ CL11 1.35V - Purchased at Newegg, but could have saved a couple dollars on Amazon.
I chose this part based on previous experience with Patriot and the low voltage RAM. A lot of the RAM is higher voltage and I wanted to make sure I reduced heat and power usage. When you look for 1.35V RAM, there are not a lot of options...
MSata SSD Drive - Intel SSD 525 Series 240GB Drive
Intel SSD Page
I purchased through Newegg
I chose the Intel drive based on previous experience with Intel. They cost more, but I've found their performance to be good and reliability good. There is also a good review on this drive on Tomshardware Tomshardware Intel 525 Review. Toms review shows top performing drive and low power. I also looked at many other manufacturers and Intel had the lower power consumption. This means less heat and longer battery life.
Cloning Software
Intel provides a free cloning software from Acronis
My Digital SSD MSata external case
I purchased through Newegg.
Nice quality device. I used this to help in cloning the OEM SSD to the new Intel drive.
T5 Torx Screw Driver
I purchased this from Home Depot T5 Torx Home Depot
I read all the reviews, posts and issues around cloning the Win8 SSD drives. Many people have/had issues. I was prepared for problems. Another reason I chose Intel, as they have migration software that I felt would be top notch.
You need to have the Hardware Manual handy. I read how to remove keyboard and top cover. This is required to upgrade RAM and SSD. It was very easy. Take your time. Note, this is very different than the Yoga 13 youtube video for part removal. I think it's easier. Here is the link to download manual Yoga 11s Hardware Manual.
How to clone your SSD
I expect if you're doing this project you can learn how to use the Intel software for cloning. Read the web, watch their youtube video. Read the manual...
Remove your factory SSD and insert new Intel SSD (note, you must insert Intel drive in notebook for cloning. Do not try and clone on the USB external drive. Intel software will not detect drive properly). Create a bootable version of the Intel software on a USB drive. Install your factory OEM SSD in the external MSata SSD drive. Go to BIOS and set boot to support legacy, no fast boot, boot to USB.
Boot to the Intel Acronis app on the USB drive. Then connect your OEM SSD via second USB port.
Then follow the wizard on Intel's software. Cloning process took less than 5 minutes.
Unplug your USB devices, go to BIOS and set all all your boot settings back to factory UEFI, fast boot etc.
The PC booted to windows second try. The first time it said it has issues and went through a process to repair. It then said it failed. I rebooted again and it went straight to windows. Did all my windows updates and everything is fine.
Performance
Windows Performance Improvement
Memory - Factory score was 5.9 - Patriot Memory is 8.2 *** Nice Improvement
Hard Drive - Factory score was 6.2 - Intel 525 Drive is 8.2 *** Nice Improvement
This pc is crazy fast booting and shutting down. It boots in 7 seconds. Not sure it's really faster than OEM, but I've never seen a pc boot this fast.
Over all performance is fast. I installed Office 2010 pro from a USB drive in under 5 minutes. Web browsing is crazy fast. I'm super impressed with the speed of this pc. Much faster than I expected.
Size, Shape, Weight, color is great. Performance is great. Happy with upgrades and quality of parts. May be my best notebook purchase to date. I don't have any battery life numbers to report yet. Everything is new and I haven't really spent much time off the charger.
Issues I've experienced during this upgrade of parts
I first tried to clone the SSD drive by putting the Intel drive in the USB enclosure first. The intel software would not work as the PC detects the external SSD drive as a SCSI drive and Intel cloning software could not identify the drive as an Intel Sata drive. I called Intel and they had no advice or help. I also tried a few other cloning softwares that ultimately did not work. As a last resort I switched the drives and everything worked great. Lesson learned, swap the drives first and use Intel software to clone.
Factory restore - doesn't work. Not sure why the factory restore is not working on my new Intel drive. Windows works great! All the partitions are there. I suspect I messed up the OEM restore portion of the drive. At one point I thought I had booted to the Intel drive, and tried the restore (I had about 7 failed cloning tries before the final one worked as I outlined above). It went through the restore process and then failed. However, what I later found was that I had actually booted to the OEM drive in the external USB case and I may have corrupted the restore functionality.
I contacted Lenovo Support and explained I could not restore using the 1 key restore. They walked me through some basic troubleshooting and then opted to mail me factory restore disk. I have the disk and will keep them available for when/if I ever need to restore.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I upgraded from the Yoga 13 to the 11S and am happy to report that the machines are so identical that apparently you can just yank the SSD from one and drop it in the other. I had upgraded my 13" to 240gB SSD + 8gB RAM and simply plopped the two components into the 11S and after about 30 seconds of Windows alerting me that it was 'setting up devices' the machine booted normally and has been working perfectly since!

P35 Platinum/Neo FSB/ram stability OC database

I want to see what people are getting as far as FSB. This really isn't to see how high you can go with your CPU but how much FSB this board can be stable to.
Reason being, I think the CPU to RAM link on this board is not really that great. and I'd like to get a list of what people are getting.
Note: You need to be able to pass Prime95 v25.6 torture test "In-place Large FFT" for at least 4 hours. on all Cores
in-Place Large FFT requires that CPU, RAM, and the CPU-RAM link all be stable.

Lenovo G560 doesn't memory upgrade probelm

I'm having trouble with upgrading memory in my G560.The current configuraion has a DDR3 1333Mhz module. I'm trying to add a new 4GB DDR3L 1600Mhz SO-DIMM module Transcend make. The BIOS recognizes the 6MB memory, but while booting my windows7 home 64 bit, it shows error. It gives me a option of repair, but when i select repair it just stops at a grey screen. The same set of 2GB and 4GB modules works fine together in my DELL E4520. So i know that the 2 modules are working fine. If i try the new 4GB module standalone, i get a BSOD with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. If i try two modules of 2GB DDR3 1333, the G560 works fine and windows boots normally. Can you suggest a way out

hi anantha_ak,
Welcome to the Forums.
If the Transcend 4GB DDR3L 1600Mhz RAM have dual voltage capability (like this item), does it have the same memory timings like in the stock RAM?
Some DDR3L (1.35v) memory modules are designed to be backwards compatible to DDR3 (1.5v) a.k.a. dual voltage so you can mix and match them with DDR3 (1.5v) modules but depending on the design, this is dependent on the BIOS if it will allow the usage of dual voltage. Otherwise, you will only see one working memory module or sometimes, the system will not POST due to hardware incompatibility.
In addition, as discussed in this thread, the G560 is a bit picky when comes to the RAM. It's possible that it doesn't support the memory timings of the 4GB DDR3L RAM (maybe due to the low voltage specs) compared to the timings in the G560's BIOS (1.5v specs). If that 4GB DDR3 is a newly purchased, I would consider getting a different RAM like the one that worked for other users in this thread.

P45D3 platinum gskill ripjaws DDR-3 1600 problem

Hi to all.
I have a problem my p45d3 platinum (bios 1.7B2) and gskill ripjaws 1600 4GB ( http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=222 )
I can't run this ram at its default speed, it can't go higher than 1333 mhz.
I read that this is a common problem with this motherboard, because many ddr3-1600 are overclocked and overvolted ddr3-1066/1333 and no real ddr3-1600.
But i think i have REAL ddr3-1600 ram, because its voltage is "only" 1,5V.
So, why my motherboard recognize it as ddr3-1333? Additionally, this ram supports xmp: if i enable it, bios recognize the right speed, but system does not boot.
I tried to increase the ram voltage and manually set the default timings, but without luck.
What can i do? I see there are a lot of other parameters about ram which can be set, but i don't know how... maybe someone can give me some advices?
Thank you to all, hope semebody can help me. And sorry for my english
Kind regards

Hi,
Can you please provide a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" View?
Keep in mind, that the Intel P45 Chipset (well, it's memory controller) natively only supports DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 memory modules (according to Intel Specifications). So, operation @DDR3-1600 is not a given under all circumstances.

P7N Platinum Q6600 @ 3.5GHz, you to can do it

Just thought I would share my results of getting over the dreaded 3.0GHz wall. I'm still in the testing phase (running 4 prime95 at maximum heat consumption right now), it seems to be running quite strong. I can probably hit 3.6GHz or more, but that will be later.
Vcore: 1.47v total, +.2v settings
VTT: 1.5
NB: 1.5
SB: 1.5
v1.2 bios
I'm going to be scaling back all the volts to find out where the weak spot is for overclocking. I don't exactly like running the VTT and NB at 1.5v, but many people have been running their Asus 750i boards at 1.50v and doing ok. Max temps so far are 56c on cores 1 and 2, 54c on cores 3 and 4, running 4 instances prime95.

Bumped them both down another notch. I think that is 1.42 and 1.40. So two notches from the top. I'm going to be moving the cpu volts down tonight.
It looks like I almost have the same system as you:
P7N Platinum SLI v1.2 Bios - Q6600 G0
Zalman 9700 LED Cooler
Corsair XMS2 DHX PC2-6400 2 x 2GB 4-4-4-18

Enermax 500w PSU
Antec 1200 Case
WD 250GB/ Windows XP Professional SP3 x86
WD 750GB
I just recently got the 1200 case, man I love it. I don't think I can ever go back to a normal mid-tower.
The case keeps everything really cool. I'm running all case fans at low and the Zalman 9700 at 1650RPM.
My voltages are
vCore 1.496
FSB (one setting over stock)
NB 1.28
SB 1.50
Everything that can be turned off in the BIOS is off. RAM is unlinked and running at 800MHz (for now)
I'm going to go for 3.5GHz, just enjoying playing Crysis more than I enjoy run Prime95.
Regards,
Doug
BTW: I'd appreciate it if you gave me your RAM settings, and voltages.

The retailer that sold me the card told me that he can run the card in an asus motherboard, could be a compability problem whit my msi motherboard and the xfx card?????
Thanks in advance.

No problems here...........
As Streifenkarl suggested - secure good airflow/ventilation, a PSU with good amps on the 12v line, test some other driver versions.
Give RAM some extra voltage as well (2.7-2.8V), if you still got problems.
If still no go, then there might be some problem with your graphic card.

What to change in bios with MSI 875p

I'm wondering what the key things are to change in bios for non-overclocking best performance/stability. I've been having a lot of problems booting up:

In fact I can't even start the computer. I've ordered a new graphics card (i've swapped out everything but that)and I want to set the bios right on first boot since I might not be able to get back to them. In particular, what are good settings for my ram (i.e. voltage, etc.)

Hi Amit,
I still ask you which product of NW ? (like PI,EP,BI)
For PI there are seperate set of steps you need to carry for changes in client.
Any other product i think that should be ok. Please refer installation guide and specific post installation sections.
For the other query...please refer below link.

System constantly locks-up

My system is:
Athlon 64 3200+ with 1mb cache
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
2*512mb Geil Platinum Pc4000
Enermax 550w PSU
Radeon 9800 Pro
I cannot seem to stop it locking up and just freezing completely, it does this at least once an hour, I have tried mving the memory slots (using 1&2 or 1&3, 2&3 wont post), I have lowered the HTT value to 3, I have relaxed the timings on the ram, ive tried upping the ram and cpu voltage, I've tried different bios releases (12b5, 1.2, 1.3b), and ive even dropped the ram to 166fsb while run the cpu at default. But whatever I do, I cannot get it to not lock-up. It constantly fails memtesr etc and other cpu and memory stability programs. I know the ram is good for a lot more, but I dont know what the problem is as ive seen other people using the same ram with no problems. Does anyone have any ideas's?

Hi,
Do you have the D.O.T. enabled? I was have the same problem with the 9600 XT Radeon card and SATA RAID. I disabled it and my systems run great!

PT880----Possible cold boot issue-----What are YOUR boot times??

I may have an issue with this board that I hadn't really noticed since I've been so heavy into the max overclock I could get.
My post and then boot time is strange and annoying-----and sometimes I have to just shut off and turn on-----to actually complete the process. It just seems WAY too long! But maybe this is normal for the chipset.
Turn on>>>>>to POST beep = 40 seconds----D-Bracket shows code of "Memory Detection" during this time.....(----This is the time that seems way out of whack)----most boards I've ever had go from turn on>>>>to Post beep VERY quickly.
From POST beep>>>>>to "Welcome" screen in BOOT = another 20 seconds
Completion of BOOT = another 10 seconds-----not so much worried about this one as I would think it would be Windows dependent and what additional software was loaded.
This total process seems remarkably slow----and again----sometimes-----I NEVER get the post beep (The D-Bracket code is stuck in Memory Detection) and I have to turn the machine off and start again.
What are you guys' times with your PT880???? I tried two different types of RAM---no difference----changing RAM DIMM slots-----no difference----changing RAM timings and voltages----no difference-----I also ran Memtest on both sets of RAM (passed), reflashed Bios----cleared CMOS, and reset NVRAM----no change.
Any ideas??? Beta Bios 1.53 issue??

Tuning the 975x memory: surprising results

Since I begin to overclock my system, I leave the memory latencies relaxed at 5-5-5-15, because I didn't wanted memory problems. But some days ago I tried some new setting:
Original settings: 333 x 2 x 1.25 (835 Mhz) - 5-5-5-15
New settings: 333 x 2 x 1 (666 Mhz) - 4-4-4-12
I knew that, at the same 5-5-5-15 latencies the difference in bandwidth between 666 and 835 mhz were about 5%, so I was very surprised when with the new settings the memory bandwidth improved, despite the lower frecuency. Then I tried (obviously) this new settings:
New settings 2: 333 x 2 x 1.25 (835 Mhz) - 4-4-4-12
And the surprise was even bigger: it was a little better than the original settings, but the overall perfomance was lower than at 666 mhz with 4-4-4-12.
I didn't do an extensive perfomance testing, but I've tried SuperPI and Sisoft Sandra's processor benchmark, and the numbers were about the same with all configurations, but the memory bandwidth, according Sandra, was better with 666 mhz - 4-4-4-12, and about 6500 MB (with 835 mhz - 5-5-5-15 was 6300 MB). I've tried many times and also tried Everest test, and the pattern was the same.
Anyone has a theory to explain this ??
Note: the maximun memory bandwidth I've got was 6700 (with bios 7.5 or newer), when my system had only 2 GB (5-5-5-15). When I've installed the other 2 GB, then dropped to 6300, so I regained some bandwidth now...
Note 2: 4-4-4-12 are latencies supported by the memory

Last report on this is...all problems solved...still running as reported, 9*333 with 1.25 RAM multi @ standard voltage with no locks or any other BS! Rock stable, temperatures on idle (30 degrees ambient) 42-38-36-40, max out with all 4 core employed, 57-49-47-52, run all night long with no one BSOD or anything! Tested with Vista X86, Vista X64, Ubuntu 7.10 in both flavors, Sabayon 64...even I give it a go under OS2 Warp 5...very surprising result! Tested with various benches, but I'll just point out my Everest which claims that this is nearly the fastest of all on their list! I am very pleased with final findings and all it's missing would be employing Core center where I could chose few profiles accordingly! Then this machine would be surprise of all time! If this works out as promised there would be no end of my pleasure using it! Excellent finale! Advice to anyone, if doesn't OC, check the CPU as having Core2 doesn't mean it will reach sky high! I had lot's of issues and nearly all of them was solved simply by replacing the Allendale in one shot! Great board, as I said once earlier, and pity thee is EOL on this mobo!
Thanks MSI!
p.s.
does anyone knows of any utility which can change clock and keep few profiles in it...thanks again!
I think you should re-apply the thermal paste on your processor, because the temperature difference between cores is too great. Anyway they are pretty low, what cpu cooler are you using ??

Upgraded Itunes now videos are all messed up

When I upgraded itunes tonight and plugged my ipod back in, somehow my videos are all labeled as songs and are taken out of the video section and put into the song section..and when I play it it just plays the audio and not the video and the TV icon is removed in my library..
does anyone know how to fix this without having to reload them because that is a pain!
Thanks!

Quote from: Richard on 26-May-06, 08:02:50
JMMD,
Check the RAM and CPU Voltage and check the timings on your RAM.
I would then load the latest nVidia nForce & ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
I'll check all the settings again but they looked fine when I glanced at them. I basically always left everything at default.
Would I need to reload them (Nforce and Forceware) if they're already installed? If so, I'll give that a shot.
Quote
Did you take note of all your setting before flashing?
Did you make sure all the settings were correct after the flash?
Did you try a complete CMOS clear and set all the settings back again?
I never really changed any of the settings. I'll check them again but they were basically all defaults or auto.

Need help getting PC2 8500 to run at 1066

I have an MSI MS-7510 P7N Diamond motherboard, Core 2 Quad Q6600 overclocked from 2.40 GHz to 3.0 GHz via raising FSB to 1333 MHz and running stable for ~ 3 years now.
I just installed 2x PC2 8500 2GB G. Skill sticks for 4 GB RAM (replacing 4x 1 GB) and CPU-Z reports DRAM frequency at 400.0 MHz.
I have tried setting DRAM Frequency to 1066, timings to 5-5-5-15 (the rating of the RAM sticks), DRAM Voltage at 2.1, and Memory Timing to 2T. The systems starts to load Windows 7 and then it reboots back to POST screen and continues in this loop until I undo reset DRAM back to 800.
Is it possible for me to get this RAM set to 1066 MHz?

Thanks for the fast reply. Here’s what I did.
DRAM Frequency set to 1066 (from original setting of 800)
Timings to 5-5-5-15 (from original setting of AUTO)
Memory Timing to 2T (from original setting of AUTO)
DRAM Voltage to 2.1 (from original setting of AUTO)
The only DRAM Frequencies that boot into Windows 7 are 800 and 533, which CPU-Z reports as 400 and 266.5 respectively. 1066 puts the PC into an endless boot/POST loop and I have to go into BIOS and adjust DRAM frequency off of the 1066 value to either 800 or 533 to get into Windows 7.
Is DRAM Frequency of 800 (as reported in BIOS) the best I can do? If so the only difference to my machine now is going from 4x 1GB RAM sticks to 2x 2GB RAM sticks and I’m still at 4 GB RAM running DRAM 800 MHz.
So I can use my machine again I set –
DRAM Frequency 800 in BIOS (CPU-Z reports 400)
Timings 5-5-5-15
Memory Timing 2T
DRAM Voltage 2.1
I have a feeling that I am either overlooking something simple here or my machine just cannot handle RAM running at 1066 MHz. With all the OC functions this MSI board has I would think I could get the RAM rated at 1066 to run at 1066 instead of 800.
