Khenglish Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 PREMA, what is your opinion on ram? 1600 CL9, 1866 CL10 or 2133 CL11.If you care about memory performance find some old M471B5273DH0 sticks. You can expect CL9 2133 or CL11 2400, maybe even CL10 2400.These sticks have a measly 1600Mhz or 1333 MHz stock clock, but they overclock the best of any memory ever made for laptops. In the part number the CK0 or CH9 at the end does not matter, but the part number must have DH0, not CH0. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee83 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 use intel xtu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zymphad Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 use intel xtu Eh didn't want that. I want something that is fast all the time, since I dual boot Linux. Not interested in Windows only OC software. Hence why I have a 4790K that is always 4 ghz or faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee83 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 well in that case theres no way around premamod intel xtu actually changes the settings in the system bios, but not sure if it would stick in linux as well. could be worth a try!

Hence why I have a 4790K that is always 4 ghz or faster. The settings stick. I believe the Intel Management Engine that is hooked into the BIOS is responsible for saving that info. well in that case theres no way around premamod intel xtu actually changes the settings in the system bios, but not sure if it would stick in linux as well. could be worth a try! Sticks in Linux just fine. At least CPU overclocking does. I would assume memory would as well. I haven't tried to overclock my memory because I don't want to have to pull my CMOS battery if I push the settings too far. Last time I had to pull that I broke the clip and the pins came out, took me about 10 minutes to push the pins back in.

jaybee83 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 thats the good thing about intel xtu though: if u set unstable settings, then everything reverts back to default at the next reboot thats also why i prefer using xtu as compared to direct bios setting...

Are you sure that is the case for memory? On every machine I've ever owned, if I pushed the memory too far the machine wouldn't POST for the watch dog to reset the settings. Otherwise I would have tried to tweak my Wintec memory I have right now. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Memory overclocking in XTU is flashed into NVRAM, so it applies to boot and any OS as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee83 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 i just finished a one week tweaking marathon with my corsair vengeance sticks, you have NO idea how many times i had to reboot due to system crashes *lol* didnt take out the cmos battery even once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt these sticks will even do 1866 though so it's probably not worth it. I want the Ripjaws kit but can't stomach 300 bucks for memory.

zymphad Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If the Ballistix OC to 2133 CL10, I'll be very happy with that. Just looking for something to make it worthwhile to upgrade over 1600 CL9. My current ram is 1866 10-10-10-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 When I switched my systems motherboard from W230ST to W230SS, while keeping same CPU and RAM (Sammy HK0), I lost my RAMs OCabillty. The old board did 2400Mhz@CL10 while the new one doesn't even like it @ CL12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee83 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 in that case, i think its better if u just send me those sammys, since it would be a shame to just clock them below 2400 [emoji14]Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etot Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi!My notebook Clevo W170ER with i7-3630qm CPUCould anyone tell me if it would be usefull to update RAM from current PC-12800 to PC3-14900/15000 with Prema BIOS Mod? Will it work?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcelo1994 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thank You. Yeah, there is is a little bit of throttling in the stock run, but nothing major like on other sysytems. Guess the temps you are seeing are in-game numbers and that is where the card now remains at Full Turbo for longer with the Mod... 1. Keep your current vBIOS Mod 2. ftp://ftp.clevo.com.tw/P37xSM/OTHERS/Hotkey.zip 3. The proper ME is included in the v2 Mod BIOS (fixed the second link, THX!) Prema so this is a VBIOS thing? There is nothing to do with the card being throttled? Is it fault of one of VBIOS settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
