senso Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Good evening, I have a quick doubt, is there any way to put the RAM running at 1600(800)Mhz, by the Intel page, the maximum is 1333Mhz, but I have seen some cpu-z prints showing this CPU with 1600Mhz RAM, this is not a limitation of my RAM modules, the all suport this: Quote JEDEC timings table CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC @ frequency JEDEC #1 5.0-5-5-14-19 @ 380 MHz JEDEC #2 6.0-6-6-16-22 @ 457 MHz JEDEC #3 7.0-7-7-19-26 @ 533 MHz JEDEC #4 8.0-8-8-22-30 @ 609 MHz JEDEC #5 9.0-9-9-24-33 @ 685 MHz JEDEC #6 10.0-10-10-27-37 @ 761 MHz JEDEC #7 11.0-11-11-28-39 @ 800 MHz I have already unlocked my BIOS, updated the ME Firmware, inserted the latest microcode update. The laptop is an old old N53SM with an HM65 chipset. This is more of a curiosity/want to try it. Maybe I need to dump my MEFirmware and enable overclocking or tweak something and reflash it? EDIT: Photos of the RAM configuration in BIOS, no mather what value I choose over 1333Mhz it doesn't do anything. Maybe that Memory RC: 1.2.2 as something to do about this, but I can't find any info about that, if its a hardware, or software module. Going by this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_Reference_Code It might in fact be a limitation/imposed limitation of my BIOS.

Bios Modder Klem Posted December 17, 2015 Bios Modder Share Posted December 17, 2015 Post here your file backup of bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senso Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Cant attach the BIOS file, will share via Google Drive, this is a just made backup from my BIOS using AFUWin. EDIT: BIOS now uploaded to forum to avoid the external linking, thanks Brian. actualWorking_n53sm.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We normally do not allow external links but I'll let you keep this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senso Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 I zipped it and tried to upload, but the zip size is about 1MB and the forum only allows me to attach files up to 0.49MB. Don't want to break any rules, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to break any rules, sorry. Understood, no problem. BTW, just realized we had our limits too low for you guys so now you can upload > 1 MB files.

Bios Modder Klem Posted December 17, 2015 Bios Modder Share Posted December 17, 2015 I looked at your BIOS, so there really are very few settings. The most important thing that not included the adjustment of memory timings and there is no switching from the default profile to the custom profile of memory. Perhaps in this case it will not be able to increase the memory frequency. Try to set parametre "NMode Support" from "Auto" to "2N". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senso Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Its indeed a limited BIOS, even with access to all the menus there isn't much to tweak. Tried to change the NMode and had already disabled the ECC support, sadly, no change, in this case only with a CPU that officially supports the 1600Mhz, but its was just a curiosity, I'm no going to invest 100-150€ in a CPU just for the RAM. Thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
