Varroa Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 No necessarily true. I am running 1866 cruical rippjaw ram and it runs at full speed without issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator BAKED Posted August 27, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 27, 2014 Maybe 1 stick could run at that speed but I doubt two will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varroa Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 @Suoah, are you talking to me? I can provide screen shots if you don't believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator BAKED Posted August 28, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2014 @Suoah, are you talking to me? I can provide screen shots if you don't believe me.No, two sticks of 1866Mhz would probably run just fine.

Shivanshu_1 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 intel website says max ram supported for i7-4700mq is 32GB DDR3L 1333,1600 . Its nowhere mentioned 1866 or 2133 support Please post some working 1866 PicsKind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varroa Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That makes no sense. If the ram is running at 1866 then everything will benefit from the increased speed. I will take a screen shot when I get home.http://www.anandtech.com/show/6372/memory-performance-16gb-ddr31333-to-ddr32400-on-ivy-bridge-igp-with-gskillEven if motherboard would support it, 4700mq would not.

Varroa Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I actually do when I don't need the power of the 755m and I am running on battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octiceps Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 And how much increase does DDR3-1866 give you, 0.5 FPS at most? Seems like a poor investment from price/performance standpoint. Anyway, Intel's iGPU's aren't fast enough to gain much benefit from faster RAM, especially a bump as small as 1600 to 1866. With Kaveri, though, I can understand since it's more bandwidth bound and can really benefit from fast RAM, especially if you can OC the memory controller.

Varroa Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I never said it made a huge difference. I bought the ram for a different purpose but it wasn't compatible so I switched it with the ram that came stock in the Y510p.

Here is my screen shots:Varroa, are those gskill?Btw, have you tried putting 2x 16GB RAM by any chance? As so, it confirms that y510p RAM can be put and runs at 1866 in dual channel because motherboard and chip support it. The question is - does that mean that all communication channels between 4700mq CPU through dice/motherboard up to RAM itself support this and are running at this speed really? In other words, is there a way to know if bus is bottlenecking in this case or not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArCh_Linux Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you use RAM with auto-overclock, it should work with it. The CPU is "max" 1600 but it can be overclocked by something like Corsair Vengeance. I have faster sticks in mine and it works, there's no BIOS issue or anything.
