Speed of Ram DDR3 X120e! Photos!

I have a question about the speed of the actual ram in the Lenovo x120e. Mine came with only one of 2 Go DDR3-1333 (PC3-10666). When I got it, I ran CPU - Z to see what that memory actually ran to, because I had 2 x 4 Go DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) to an old laptop that died and I wanted to use it in the x120e. CPU - Z detected the ram in DDR3-1333, but what intrigues me is the actual speed that the memory is running at, 269 Mhz. It is with the trendy power and maximum performance settings, first, I thought would downclock the RAM while on battery to save energy. This is not the case.

I then installed the 2 x 4 GB DDR3 - 1066, the system started very well and works very well. Here is the screenshot of CPU - Z.

As you can see, the speed remains the same (highlighted in red). Also the timings (blue) are identical to what the original ram turned to...

So my question is, why the speed so low and why is Lenovo DDR3-1333 for shipping in the x120e when it looks like its clearly not necessary.

PS. If anyone can launch CPU - Z on their x120e and see what their ram works at, it would be appreciated for comparison. Here is the link: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

Thank you!

The E - 350 APU is capable of using the DDR3-1066 (see page AMD for reference: http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/apu/mainstream/Pages/mainstream.aspx#3)

As to why CPU - z reports 269 mhz instead of 533 mhz, I would assign cela a bug in CPU - z. With the help of HWinfo32, good speed of 533 mhz RAM is reported (http://www.hwinfo.com/download32.html). Here's what HWinfo32 reports (I get essentially the same CPU - z screen like you do)

  • Change the bios on my hp pavilion dv5-2135dx of 1333mz to 1866mz on the speed of RAM.

    I have a hp pavilion dv5-2135dx laptop and I would like to go into the bios and change the speed of the RAM ddr3 1333mz to 1866mz.  I bought two chips hiperx plug-and-play of the kingston ddr3 4gig and they are set up to accept the upgrade to speed the1866mz.  I need to know if it is possible to do this procedure and if this is the case, what is the procedure to make this change.

    I have a hp dv5-2135dx and I would also change the computer's bios to speed my RAM in 1033, because it is the actual number of the speed of memory ram bios shows that memory 4gig-2 chips can be improved is 1866.  HP, why don't you update the bios to accept the speed of the ram of 1866, if memory chips can be accelerated.  I don't think the upgrade is so difficult to create by upgrading the bios of your Indian coders geniuses.

  • Envy TouchSmart 17-j153cl: maximum speed DDR3L RAM in HP ENVY 17-j153cl

    Hello!

    I currently have the Touchsmart from HP Envy 17-j153cl with a BIOS updated. The vehicle has currently 2x8GB sticks of RAM SoDIMM DDR3L strips - 1600 MHz. I was wondering what was the maximum speed of RAM supported by the BIOS. I'm hoping to upgrade to Kingston HyperX 2133 MHz SODIMM 2x8GB DDR3L, but I heard that if the laptop BIOS does not support the higher speed, it is just downclocked. So, I wanted to know if bios default HP on the 17 - j153cl can handle the speed of the potentially new RAM. Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    1. This permanently cancels the warranty. Are you sure that the machine allows to do this?
    2. I have some older posts to talk about RAM. I usually use the car for example. You can run a race car at high speed on a race track, not on normal/streets roads; especially on roads with speed limits.

    Hello

    Both modules can be used. DDR3L means that memory using low voltage. Means that the modules produce less heat and last longer than DDR3 pure ones. I always use 1600 MHz CL9 DDR3 Corsair pure modules.

    Greeting,

    Now, today, I got my computer running good with Windows 8 pro 64 bit, any update, update driver.

    My PC running with speed of ram 1333 MHZ;

    Processor and Ram can operate at 1333 MHZ or 1600 MHZ with no overclocking.

    I have only 2 problems:

    If I adjust the speed of the RAM at 1600 MHZ in BIOS, I can boot up to windows but can't do anything, if I go to control panel, Manager of tweak or devices in Control Panel Nvidia, Windows will crash a blue screen and restart. Everything is normal at speed of ram 1333 MHZ.

    I installed the latest software Power Tuner for windows 7 64 bit 0.54, the software can installed but windows fail to install the driver for the USB related Gigabyte ODIN GT PSUS, power Tuner cannot start just cause by the latter.

    Hope Microsoft can quickly develop or deploy the USB driver for GIGABYTE ODIN GT PSU. and fix the problem of speed of ram 1600 MHZ.

    He is coming with just a stick of 8 GB of DDR3L 1600, then fall into another stick to allow two channels

    You have of DDR3 RAM which means Double Data Rate.  The 666,5 MHz you have listed in CPU - Z is the clock frequency and DDR3 RAM works on both edges of the clock, where DDR3 (Double Data Rate).  As a result, you get 666 multiplied by 2 (DDR) MHz or 1333 MHZ.

    Your system is normal and the RAM runs at max speed.

  • What speed of ram in CQ4010F

    Looking to add some more ram to my computer and short pulling on the handle and the search. A hope that someone all ready made this upgrade and what you used. Tried PCWIZZARD and locked up my computer twice when he tried to analyze both to 62% had to turn it off. The computer is HPCQ4010F. The specifications say that there 2GB\ of installed memory 4 GB Max speed supported PC2-6400 MB/sec 240 pin DDR2 SDRAM. No number of MHZ all sticks of memory, I've changed this number is that you need to know!

    Thank you for your help.

    W7 and NIS 2010 should not be a problem for PC Wizzard.  I have both on all PCs.

    So, what are your thoughts next?

  • Install more RAM DDR3

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion n207sa 15 with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM, however, I would like to install more.

    I scanned my laptop on Crucial and he told me that I have 2 slots. I had a quick glance and I only see one. I don't know if it's just being stupid or something, but I can't find another.

    Can someone tell me if I do or not please? Also if I just 1, is that with the purchase of an 8 GB on its own? But then, I feel that my 4 GB does no use and wasted. Can someone please solve my problem? Thank you.

    Not because they never represent something different. None of the documentation related to this model will say it has 2 memory slots or specify a max memory longer than 8 gigs.

  • I have a Macbook Pro mid 2012 edition, i7 and 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) of RAM DDR3 (1600 MHz). Can I add any RAM with this config?

    I want to upgrade my RAM 16 GB (2x8GB) and also to change the hard drive (750 GB) to a 250 GB SSD. I was going through the forum and people have posted that they have improved their RAM with no problems. I visited the local electronics market and is the knowledge that they have a Kingston 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM. I just want to know if it is safe to add that RAM for my MBP or not? One of my friends told me that the MBP requires a different sort of RAM so I am confused. In addition, I was intending to buy a single 8 GB and set up my MBP with 12 GB (8 + 4) RAM and then replace the other 4 GB with an 8 GB to make eventually 16GB. Will there be a problem with this approach? Also can I add any SSD fits laptops from my system? I found an SSD 240 GB (uv300) Kingston. Please suggest if I can add that.

    You can fit a maximum of 16 GB, if you choose compatible Ram.

  • BIOS don't read not desired speed of ram.

    Hello, I have a problem with my system running my RAM at 1333, when I 1600 installed. The BIOS in my system settings do not have a manual setting.

    I tried to clear the CMOS and that did not help. He came again to 1333.

    I have a HP P7 - 1446 s

    The UPA has been upgraded to the A10 - 5800 k black Bill.

    The ram of the plant has been removed and Corsair XMS3 CMX16GX3M2A1600C11 (2 X 8 GB) installed.

    It's playback the good amount of RAM.

    I checked and the APU and motherboard support speeds of 1800.

    The ram of the plant is also labeled to 1600. With it reinstalled and removed Corsair also works at 1333.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Usually, the bios is there changes of dimm but the bios is locked.  A very custom motherboard would give you this option.

    You could try a few different memory manufacturers and see if they have DIMM locations with good default value.  You may have to go up to the faster nominal DIMMS for your model of PC to reach the desired speed.  Computers HP can be tricky with the DIMMs.

  • I want to improve my Acer Aspire E5 - 571G - 57CS of 4 GB of RAM DDR3 L for a 8 GB of RAM. Is this possible?

    And if the answer is Yes, then the warranty service would free it will affect my warranty? In addition, should what kind of RAM I look for if I want to upgrade? Aries will be added to the existing RAM and it will replace it?

    I'm sorry for so many questions, my English and my ignorance when it comes to upgrading a laptop. And is all what I should know about upgrading RAM as it might damage the data on my disk, etc. ?

    Notes:

    I still have the warranty and the stamp is still there.

    Data sheet:

    • Intel Core i5-5200U 2.20 GHz
    • NVIDIA GeForce dedicated 820 m with 2 GB of VRAM
    • HARD DRIVE 500 GB
    • 4GB DDR3 Memory (RAM) L
    • Windows 10 Pro (i think)

    I know not if Acer will modernize under warranty, you must remove the motherboard to increase the RAM, the installation of CPU - Z to find out the exact your RAM specifications, then buy with timing and characteristics and to update yourself, if you are not sure to dismantle get performed by a technician on site, you can find the cost of this upgrade for your support of Acer local as they can do for one, compare prices with the quote from your local technician.

    You will lose all the data from your hard drive because of the upgrade of RAM but I tell reflect you to back up the entire system on an external hard drive using Macrium or similar utility.

    This is to show you how to upgrade and what is at stake:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmsFDi_qsnQ

    This is just one example to show how to find the upgrade for your laptop and you don't need to buy Crucial memory, any brand works as long as they match the same characteristics as your current RAM.
