Will my MD101ll/a handle 1.5v ddr3 1600 ram

Will 1.5v ddr3 1600 ram work in my MD101ll/a laptop?

Go to crucial.com and let their memory advisor app scan your Mac. It will tell you exactly what RAM is compatible.   Once you have the results you will know what crucial RAM will work, and the specs you can use for other manufacturers' RAM.  For what it's worth, crucial RAM is among the best, and the prices are very reasonable.

  • G41M-P26 shutting down, hanging w/ DDR3-1600 RAM. Not compatible?

    Hello,
    I am having problems with this board shutting down or hanging after some time, then refusing to post, sometime later it will POST and allow getting to setup, then it may shut down suddenly.  Sometimes it may boot and go through Memtest for acouple of passes OK, but later shutdown.
    I have had the system for a couple of years, but was barely used.  MOBO, CPU and RAM bought from local Tiger Direct as wel matched for working together.  I don't see what may have caused problems to start.  From what I've tested and read lately, I suspect the problem is that the RAM is not really appropriate for the board since it is High Density.  Corsair support has told me that.  I've read articles that say this High Density RAM is designed for i3, i5, i7 (Sandy Bridge Family) and will most likely not work with this MOBO/CPU combination.  Also, reading these forums I've gathered only two 1333 DIMMs have been tested as working on this MOBO and others may not.  The best bet is using 800 or 1066 RAM.
    Does this sound reasonable?
    For completeness, this some of what I've done these past days:
    - try MOBO, CPU, RAM only.  Problems are the same.
    - try Fail Safe defaults, optimized defaults, load SPD values of RAM, manual setting of timings for 1333. Sometimes it has POSTed and I connect CD to boot  to Memtest.  Could run for couple of hours without errors or fail in minutes.
    - tried 2 PSUs and a bought a new one, problem remains.
    - try DIMM on slot 2.   
    - monitored CPU heat and is within limits.  Anyway, sometimes wil not POST with CPU and RAM cold. 
    When it shuts down it may not turn back on at all immediately, and needs CMOS clear or sometimes taking battery out since clear CMOS doesn't work.  I've gotten a couple of "Overclocking failed", but I haven't changed the default 200 MHz BCLK frequency.
    I'm in the process of looking among friends for 800 or 1066 RAM to test , my local provider Tiger Direct (and probably everybody else) doesn't carry it anymore.  Looking also for a MOBO with (Sandy Bridge CPU) where to test my 1333 RAM.
    In the meantime, I could try updating the BIOS, since it is a few versions behind on what was available on Nov 2011.  I see some updates address memory compatibility issues.  I have to see if I have the working Floppy or USB Flash Drive to do it and recover the BIOS if the machine shuts off as I'm doing the BIOS update (which would be a bit scary).
    Should I update the BIOS, anyway?
    Well, thanks for any feedback and suggestions.

    1. DDR2-800 (5-5-5-18) is faster than DDR3-800 (6-6-6-18). In my opinion, this is your last option.
    Interesting, tidbit, but my board can't use DDR2.  Yeah, this is the worst option. I wrote "it's the most expensive", which to me in this case means the worst option, but I didn't actually write "worst".  For less than the 4GB DDR3-800 costs I can get 4GB DDR3-1066 and a 333 FSB CPU!
    Quote
    2. They will run at 800MHz because your FSB is 200x4 MHz and your max. DRAM ratio is 2:1
    Sure.  I ask because I can buy a DDR3-800 for $78, but I can buy the DDR3-1066 for $30 and run the same speed.  Maybe I can even use the 1066 in some other system in the future.  I sometimes get parts from systems other people discard and keep building and improving machines for misc uses.
    Quote
    3. A processor with 333x4 MHz FSB is your best option.
    See the supported CPUs here: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G41M-P26.html#/?div=CPUSupport
    Core 2 Quad Q8xxx, Q9xxx
    Core 2 Duo E8xxx
    Yes, best option given it's cheaper to get the CPU than a slower RAM. But I didn't get the answer about if I can use the current RAM I have now, given it's description says "Designed for use with all DDR3 motherboards with four memory channels".  Will the 1333 RAM I already have, run on this board with a 333 FSB CPU and setting timings manually for it to run at 1066?
    If it does, then I only buy the CPU.
    Quote
    And forget about that 4x2GB kit. A few years ago they had a 2x4GB Dominator at 1333MHz. Not anymore ...
    Just get the Corsair XMS3 CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 kit.
    It has been tested on MSI G41M-P33 and I bet it's working fine on G41M-P26
    Why do you recommend this RAM when I already have a 4 GB DIMM of DDR3-1333 9-9-9-24 like it?
    The only difference may be the line about mine being designed for motherboards with four channel memory.  I would like to know why my RAM wouldn't work if I buy the 333 FSB CPU.

    The G41 chipset has been designed for socket 775 and DDR2-800.
    DDR3 is a workaround on this chipset.
    For this reason all these troubles and incompatibilities ...
    Oh, Ok.
    Quote
    Anyway, the most popular G41 config is G41M-P33 Combo:
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G41M-P33-Combo.html
    Many people want to keep their socket 775 processors and DDR2 modules and this mobo is a very good option.
    On the top of that, DDR2-800 (5-5-5-18) is as fast as DDR3-1066 (7-7-7-20).
    I see it's popular, but when I bought these parts it's what they had on hand at the local CompUSA/TigerDirect store.  Which, supposedly worked together.
    It may seem I'm being too thorough with this, and I appreciate you guy's patience.  It's that I'm thinking and looking to in the future buy parts, to use with the parts left over from this combo, to build a slightly better 2nd desktop.  So, my ideal choice is to get a 333 FSB CPU and have it work with my current RAM (pending answer of questions above).    If I can't do that because my RAM won't work, I might get just some DDR3-1066 RAM and run it at 800 with this CPU.  Then the money I would have used for the 333 FSB CPU can go to building a Sandy Bridge system with a new MOBO, maybe some i5 or i7 CPU and the 1333 RAM I already have.   Getting the most out of little money by planning, see? 
    Thanks for the help, all!

  • Freezing up with x58 Pro and G.Skill DDR3-1600 RAM

    I just recently updated to BIOS version 7.1.  When I tried to use the "Extreme Memory Profile" or XMP in order to have the mainboard recognize the RAM at it's rated speed, my system became unstable and quickly freezes after boot up.  I have G.Skill DDR3-1500 PC3-12800 (CL9-9-9-24) RAM, Core i7 920, MSI x58 Pro.  The only setting that recognizes my memory and allows my computer to run with stability is when the RAM is "underclocked" to 1333Mhz.  Any tips on how I can get the mainboard to run my memory at it's rated 1600Mhz speed without my computer crashing?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi panetrez & welcome to the forum. Welcome to the world of 'rated' but in reality slower chipped memory modules. In many tests, RAM at 1066 against RAM at 1333, or even 1600, was only around 1-2 FPS different. System performance I believe, gets it's biggest boost from CPU speed & the quality of the VGA card.
    The 'sticky' on initial 1066 memory speed is correct with Eclipse & Platinum, but the X58 Pro, if 1333 or higher rated memory is installed, does set the RAM at 1333. This was proven on two recent builds I was involved with. One had 1333, & the other 1600, & both ran at 1333 at boot-up. Both of them also initiated with 6.4GT.
    If you would still like to run your RAM at 1600. Start a new thread in the 'Overclocking & Modders Corner' of the forum. Some adjustments in the bios will be required.

  • DDR3-1333 vs DDR3-1600 (i72600) FOR CS5?

    Hi again,
    Does DDR3-1600 RAM have any significant advatage over DDR3-1333 for CS5?
    Ref. INTEL i72600 / Win 7-64bit / No overclocking, or Video editing.
    Thanks,
    Leigh

    Anything that increases RAM throughput will of course have a positive effect on any and all software applications.  Photoshop CS5, especially with complex operations on very large images, can use all the RAM throughput it can get.
    How much difference a particular choice will make for your system is entirely dependent on the design of the rest of the system.
    It may be effective to seek out forums with others using that same system and ask for their personal experience.

  • Setting my DDR3 1600 Memory to run at 1600 speed on Z68A-GD65 G3 Motherboard.

    Wasn't sure to post this here, or on the "Intel Core-iX boards" section, but I'm having trouble getting my DDR3 1600 ram to run at 1600 speeds on my Z68A-GD65 G3 motherboard, it's currently running at DDR3-1333 even tho I have it set to DDR3-1600 under "Dram Frequency" in the bios. I also have XMP enabled, and running the memory at 1.5V. The memory I have is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233186 and I'm using the latest beta bios E7681IMS.N37.
    This is my first MSI motherboard (was a die hard ASUS fan), and I'm loving it so far, but I just can't seem to get my rams speed setup correctly. It's probably something simple I'm overlooking, or it's just not being reported correctly, but any help on what settings to change would be greatly appreciated.

  • DDR3-1600

    Can I use DDR3-1600 RAM instead of DDR3-1066 RAM?

    Good choice.
    Also, spend the extra $5 to $10 to install Mac Certified/Tested RAM - better for your Macbook.  Sometimes generic RAM works if you get the right timings - but most of the times they don't - just search this forum and you'll see how many people bought non-Apple Certified RAM and have had nothing but issues.
    Good brands like Crucial - Corsair - Mushkin - G.Skill - Kingston (non Value) - Patriot Mac Series are a good start.
    I personally use G. Skill 1066MHz RAM in my late 08 Macbook Uni.  Crucial 1066MHz RAM in my late 2009 Macbook White. Patriot Mac Series in my late 2011 Macbook Pro - all with no issues at first install.
    In any event - good luck with your ram transplant and hopefully it all goes smoothly with you.

  • Will Lion install correctly handle multiple accounts from Snow Leopard?

    Will Lion install correctly handle multiple accounts from Snow Leopard? Will current settings, DOCS etc be carried over?

    I found the solution to my problem after I upgraded and it lies with the X509 Anchors.
    SOLUTION:  Go to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security-common.plist (it may be a hidden file) and change it to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.security-common.plist.bak.  This should remove the system calling to old outdated anchors and allow it to use the new security protocols under Lion's sandboxing feature.
    It worked for me and mail runs fine.

  • MSI 770-C45 DDR3 1600 Problems

    Hi people,
                    Sorry if this is a common problem but did look through the forum but couldnt quite find a problem like mine.
    I have followed custom pc computer build for a gaming rig and have had hang ups randomly which allow me to do nothing but switch off system.
     To cut a long story short i have tried everything to fix this but now it seems to be running ok as i have changed settings for ram to 9-9-9-24 and timing to 2T.
    I have also set the volts up to 1.77 (or nearby) but i am wondering if this is correct thing to do. I am stress testing it now with prime95 and hoping these setting are correct.
    M/B=msi 770-c45
    Mem=corsair dominator ddr3 1600 (2 sticks in same colour port which is blue)
    Proc=AMD athlon II 2 pro

    If the system is stable, then dont change anything.
    An AMD-cpu does NOT support 1600MHz -- that is, the memory controller can handle 1066MHz or so. If you set the memory frequency higher, then you are overclocking the system which may result in freezing or other system problems. By losening timings a bit (9-9-9-24 2T) you solved it. Now, keep on testing. If the lot stays stable, then don't change anything else.
    Also, use CPU-Z to see what timings/frequency-combinations your memory can handle.

  • Can Optiplex 780 support DDR3-1600?

    I have an old Optiplx 780 (late 2009). I know the manual says it only supports 1066 and 1333, but I remember seeing somewhere that with BIOS upgrade it can support DDR3-1600. Is this true? The reason I am asking is that it is easier to find a cheap DDR3-1600. Thanks for any information!

    There is no support for DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) and the bus will never run at that speed.
    There is no overclocking and the FSB is determined by the cpu and chipset so no and no.  You cannot use Registered Ram and faster ram will not run faster it will clock down to 1066 or slower depending on the cpu.  Furthermore 4 rank high density ram does not and will not work.  Max dimm size is 4 gigs and max ram is 16 gigs aka 4 x 4 gig low density 2 rank ram.  Buffered, Registered, ECC ram is not possible nor is 32 gigs of ram total. So while DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) will work it will not run faster with a slower FSB cpu.  I recall that when I put in a 1333mhz fsb cpu the ram still ran at 1066 mhz.
     Dell OptiPlex 780 MT Desktop Computer- Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 with VT (3.06GHz, 3M, 1066MHz FSB) for example.
     Regulatory Model (Mini-Tower): DCSM or DCSM1F
    Regulatory Model (Desktop): DCNE or DCNE1F
    Regulatory Model (Small Form Factor): DCCY or DCCY1F
    Regulatory Model (Ultra Small Form Factor): Regulatory Model D01U / Regulatory Type D01U001
    Max bus speed and Ram Speed for the chipset. Aka 1066 is max regardless of the cpu FSB. Note the RAM TYPES in the INTEL spec for the chipset.

    I know my motherboard only supports up to pc-10600(1333)
    Actually, the P35 chipset does not support more than DDR3-1066.
    Quote
    take a look at this link:
    Yeah, well, the fact that those modules work for that user does not mean that different modules will work for you.  The native maximum is DDR3-1066.  When you go for DDR3-1600 in spite of the specification limitation, then you are gambling.  It will either work or it won't.  In your case it obviously doesn't work.
