Will there be a bottleneck with 16GB RAM and 32 threads CPU?

And if so how much of a bottleneck? Is it worth the money to upgrade to 48GB? I have 8x2GB in the HP Z820, but was thinking of getting more RAM from Mr Memory that is compatible with the Z820 for much cheaper than what HP are selling HP branded ram for. I was looking at 8x4GB for around £344 to make 48GB. Is it risky going unbranded or do people do this a lot?
Thanks

HP can list that it's an option that doesn't mean it's recommended or the best way to do it without having issues. Since the ram controller was moved to the CPU, trying to run asynchronous timings on system boards with Quad channel is asking for problems. If you call the ram manufacturers they wont recommend it with their ram and likely wont support it if they have any clue. Due to how the ram market is so volatile and dimm modules change ram chips from 1 production run to the next , you cant even run 2 different sets of the same model of ram with different manufacturer chips on the dimms. The ram companies will tell you that you need to change them out. I have been dealing with all of the ram variables since tri-channel started on the I7 Gen 1 platform and it only gets more complex with Quad channel. We have our ram custom made just to ensure we have the same manufacturer chips on our dimms regardless of the production along with the same stepping of construction until the wafer has to change. There are far more timings than CAS rating and the most important to compatibility are the sub timings which the manufacturer does not list. HP also can say they only want Grade 1A ram modules for their dimms which is why they are more expensive while that ram manufacturer will use other grades for their own branded ram. Those modules will not work together most of the time if at all. Do what you will but dont say you were not warned. Much of this information is not available to anyone unless they talk to the Engineers over in TW that deal with the dram chip fabs.

  • Can I buy a Macbook pro retina 13" with 16gb RAM and i7 processor in an physical Apple Store in Spain?

    I´m looking a Macbook pro 13 inch, but I would buy it with an i7 processor and 16Gb ram. Can I buy it in a spanish physical Apple Store or only in the Apple Store online?
    Thanks

    At least in Spain, some Apple Retail Stores have got specific build-to-order MacBooks Pro available, but they are just because they are sold better than any other build-to-order MacBook Pro.
    However, as Kappy said, it's quite difficult you can get one with the configuration you want. Have a look at the list of Apple Retail Stores in Spain, choose one and call them to see if there's one available > http://www.apple.com/es/retail/storelist The best way to buy a build-to-order Mac is through Apple Online Store

  • Will there be a problem with connection if there are two apple tv devices connected the same time on two seperate tv's

    my dad has a apple tv device where he watches films from his ipad that is then displayed onto his tv and i was wondering if i buy one for my tv, will there be a problem with the connection and there could be complications?

    You can run several AppleTVs in a house concurrently, at least 5, but this requires a reasonable network set up if it is to handle all local traffic concurrently, especially if using other devices to Airplay as it seems your dad is doing now.
    Usually works but the local network will be the issue if any, assuming internet connection rates are good.

  • Will Windows 7 Pro run with 16GB of Ram in Macbook Pro Early 2011 13-inch?

    Will Windows 7 Pro run with 16GB of Ram in Macbook Pro Early 2011 13-inch?, Does the brand of the Ram matter ?
    I installed Crucial 16 gb and the Mac runs just fine but Windows won't start. It gets to the login screen then it turns white.

    I decided to make another try today after some reading and googling the internet.
    I started windows with my old 4GB memory and changed the bootconfiguration with msconfig. I typed manually in max memory tp 16384 MB and saved the settings. Then I turned it off and inserted the 16GB ram again. Then it started really but when looking at the properties of my computer it says 16 GB installed but I can only use 2,16GB. So I opened msconfig again and changed the settings once more and restarted. Now it says 16GB installed but I can use 14,2GB so I guess it is ok now for some strange reason. I suppose the lost 1,8GB is for the system ?? Do I dare to turn it off again :-) what will it say next time ?
    I am so happy and greatful for all your help, I really really appreciate it and I hope my solution will come to use for someone else with same problem.
    Thank You all :-)

  • 790FX-GD70 with 16GB RAM, possible?

    Hi guys,
    Currently, my PC using 790FX-GD70 with 8GB RAM, and now I want to upgrade it to 16GB. I need your advice which memory are compatible and stable for my system.
    I've checked on MSI Memory Test Report here:
    http://www.msi.com/file/test_report/TR10_1740.pdf
    However there's no test report for 16GB, max memory used there is for Kingston KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX (12GB) running at 1600 (OC).
    Following is my spec (NO overclock):
    + Processor AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
    + Motherboard MSI 790FX-GD70, Bios A7577AMS v1.H
    + RAM (8GB):
       - Team-Elite 1333 PC3-10700H 2GB x2
       - Team-Elite 1333 PC3-10700 2GB x2
    + Video Card ATI Radeon HD5700 GDDR5 1024MB
    + Hard Drives (10TB)
       - 1 x WDC SATA II Caviar Black 2 TB 64Mb,
       - 4 x WDC SATA II Green 2 TB 64Mb
    + PSU Seasonic M12II-520 520W Modular - 80 Plus Bronze, 520Watt, +12V1 = 20A & +12V2 = 20A
    + OS Windows 7 x64
    I really need your advice.
    Many thanks!

    Hi Bas,
    Many thanks for the reply.

  • 13'' dual-core with 16gb ram vs 15'' quad-core 8gb ram -- ram vs cores?

    Hello.  I am at a point between choosing a 13'' dual-core i5 with 16gb ram vs the 15'' quad-core with 8gb ram - both retinas.
    I will be using photoshop and illustrator while uploading/downloading large files constantly.  After much headscratching I almost decided on the 13'' i5 because from my experience, RAM limitations is where I usually run into problems, and don't see the extra price of i7 worth it when it is still a dual-core.  For the same price I can get a 15'' quad, but will be stuck with 8gb ram.
    I don't care about the screen size, I have good eyes and the weigth trade-off makes this a non-issue.
    I'm thinking about down the road, as either of these I'm sure will be fine solutions.  I'm just wondering where does the edge really come in this case?  Ram or processor / cores?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply tjk, of course with 16gb on the 15'' for $200 more  I'd have easier time, but in this case I am comparing a refurbished - the lowest 15'' 16gb I could find would cost $500 more, I just can't do it. 
    I should make clear that this particular comparison between 13''w/16 and 15''w/8, they are the same price (the 13 being new) - which is why I'm stuck.
    To rephrase - for the same price - which will I regret less in 4 years?
    As a side note, I can't believe I'm even thinking about paying this much money for something that is not upgradeable, but that's another discussion entirely.

  • 21.5" Imac with 2.8ghz Quad-Core i7, 16gb ram and 2 TB hd to use for professional audio recording with Logic 9?

    Does anyone have any experience with this exact conifguration? I would like to purchase this and use it for 5-10 years of solid audio production. Any shortcomings?

    Ok. So I now I found a local seller who is selling a 2008 Mac Pro. Does anyone want to advice which would be the smarter route to go. This is used, but they are guaranteeing that it is in incredible shape. It's a bit old:
      This is a gently used, mechanically sound and tech tested Apple Mac Pro. I am only selling due to our business upgrading, otherwise I love this machine, and would not be selling it. It comes fully loaded (both hardware and software), and is ready for the most robust tasks.
    Included with the Mac Pro is 2 brand-new sealed 20.5" Lenovo LCD monitors, Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard. Currently, the Mac Pro is setup for dual monitors on the 512mb NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card.
    The memory on the Mac Pro has been upgraded to 16GB and an Apple OEM 256 GB Toshiba Solid State Drive (SSD) has been added to increase boot up speeds to mere seconds.  The SSD can be configured to run either OS X Lion or Snow Leopard and will also house all of the applications.  The combination of 16GB RAM and the applications residing on the SSD enables this machine to perform at amazing speeds.  It can seamlessly render video and run other ram intensive applications with ease, making this a perfect addition to anyone's video editing studio.
    In addition to the 256 SSD, the Mac Pro has a total of 4 TB of storage space with two separate 2 TB hard drives for storing massive amounts of data. (2 open bays if you wish to add more storage).
    LOADED SOFTWARE:
    MS Office 2011 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Communicator
    Adobe CS5 Mastersuite (Photoshop, Encore, Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, FireWorks, Catalyst, Contribute, After Effects, Bridge, and much more!)
    Final Cut Pro 7
    iLife 2011
    Aperture 3
    Adobe Acrobat X (PDF Editor)
    All applications have been freshly reinstalled with their appropriate activation keys. The machine comes ready to go with no administrative password for either operating system (Lion or Snow Leopard).
    Thanks for looking and if you have any questions feel free to ask! This Mac Pro comes with a 30 day warranty against DOA.  Buy with confidence.
    If you like the machine, I have a little room to work on the price if you do not want the SSD. Otherwise price is FIRM. This machine is a powerhouse!

    The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.

    Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

  • Why has maverick bogged down my iMac 21.5 with 16gb Ram to a snail mode I looking going back to OSX Mountain Lion, Why has maverick bogged down my iMac 21.5 with 16gb Ram to a snail mode I looking going back to OSX Mountain Lion

    did the update to Maverick from OSX ML and boy has it slowed down my whole computer big time, what a mistake to have done this..... the whole computer has dramattically slowed, I thought Apple advertised be faster and slicker and better use of resources and I got 16gb Ram and 500gb HDD and 3.6 ghz processor, OSX Lion was snappier than this what a big mistake since this was installed.
    Thanks god I did a disk image of the machine before I did it Ill go back and stay with OSX ML until Apple sorts problems I see many issues has risen and also Mail is playing up big time so who screwed that up?

    Check your Activity Monitor to identify what might be slowing your system. Mavericks is as fast, if not faster, as Mountain Lion for me and I'm using a 2009 MacMini with 8 Gigs of RAM.
