Thanks, I have already checked Crucial's site for this particular laptop memory, but I think I will have a better idea once I see the exact memory model. I will come back with a question then for a compatible second stick. The displays are both the same, 60Hz IPS level panels, not the best in...

Hey, the Y540 has an Intel i5 9th gen. It is slightly better than R7 3750 (user benchmarks), but it has an edge when it comes to a higher GPU, which is 1660ti or 1060 ti, R7 bottlenecks these. However, since it is a laptop, I am not going to be able to change the GPU anyway! I am aware of the...

Thanks man! I am not particularly a fan of eSports, arena shooters, multiplayers or racing games (bye bye PubG, Apex Legends, Fortnite, NFS, Forza etc.), so I will mostly be playing story based games, even shooters for that matter I like the ones with a solid single player campaign. If I have...

Specs are practically identical - Y540 (i5 9th gen/GTX 1650/8 Gigs Single Channel/512 GB SSD) Asus Tuf 705 DT (Ryzen 7 3750/GTX 1650/8 Gigs Single Channel/512 GB SSD) I plan to use them for my daily use - programming, UI development, entertainment and some 1080p gaming (I can do medium to high...

UPDATE after 2 months of usage It works, and it works perfectly fine! Despite all the reading around and warnings, I took the risk and bought 2 HyperX sticks of 8 gigs each with the same speed/rating, because I could not find the sticks mentioned in the above discussion despite searching hard...

Thanks! That gives me some relief.

UPDATE after 2 months of usage It works, and it works perfectly fine! Despite all the reading around and warnings, I took the risk and bought 2 HyperX sticks of 8 gigs each with the same speed/rating. Set the OC mode from MSI's bios to 3200 MHz, and it works flawlessly in dual channel, at 3200...

I am looking to buy a used laptop, an Asus Tuf FX 705DT which has a Ryzen 7 3750, GTX 1650, 8 Gigs of single channel RAM and a 512 GB SSD, less than a year old. I did some stress testing on it with Aida 64. Everything seemed fine, until I removed the charger. The laptop started stuttering very...

@Nemesia Well, here's what I did. I went ahead and got two 8 gig LPX 3200 kits, because the very first review on Amazon was by someone who benchmarked Vengeance LPX with Ryzen 1600 and a B350 board, almost the same as my set up, both standard and OC. He posted the temps as well as FPS. And the...

I want to install 16 Gigs of GSkill 3200 MHz RAM in my system, but the delivery times are really long on a 8*2 pair, and I am in a hurry. Can I buy 2 units instead, of the same product? Same model, timing, freq...

@boju Hey, sorry, bothering you again! So I cancelled the 3000 Mhz Sticks, and have been trying to get a Gskill 3200 pair of sticks in a single kit. But looks like the delivery times are tremendous, almost mid of November, for some reason. So I thought I should get a 16 gig pair to start off...

Hey thanks! Sure I can do that. However GSkill 3200 CL14 16x2 kits are ridiculously expensive, or at least this particular Amazon seller is charging so - close to 327 USD. Are these good? -...

I know this is probably a noob question because I am building my first rig (by first I mean by myself). I have a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, just got a Mortar Max B450M board. I have ordered a 16x2 Crucial Ballistix 3000 CL15 RAM kit. Is this an overkill? Do I really need so much of memory, and if I do...

Hey thanks a lot mate, I just placed my order for a Mortar Max. Got it for around 128 USD, post some Amazon discount. I was quite confused between Tomahawk and this board, but I chose an extra M.2, since the VRM is literally the same on both the boards sans the additional heatsink that the...

I won't be overclocking, that is for sure! I quoted 3950x just to say that I'll get the highest supported CPU rather than getting a 5k. Yes yes, my primary aim is gaming, and I'm a programmer so I'll probably be running a Virtual machine. What I want to know is that when it comes to...
