If u have a 4800MQ, u can increase the multipliers by 400MHz.Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolitic Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I can confirm that this doesn't occur on the m17x r3 since I have it at 2133 mhz.Strange that it only happens to the new model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the only way to OC memory on AW is flashing SPD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey2911 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I have the m17x R4, i7 4900MQ, GTX 780m and 32GB of 1600Mhz Ram, reporting 1333 Mhz in XTU as well. I know it's running at 1600, cpu-z reports it as that, so do various other programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincey2kr1 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 i have 4x4gb running at 1333mhz and xtu shows it oc'd but really isnt doing it. Any figure it out? would at least like to be running at 1600. Stacey what memory are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
