DDR

I've recently bought an Asus Vivobook M1603QA, it comes with 8GB of RAM soldered onto the motherboard, the RAM is running at 3200mhz and no information on the CAS. The laptop also has a slot to add one more stick of RAM, I'm sure 99% of 3200mhz 8GB RAM sticks I would buy would work but what...

Are the basics of HBM the same as that of DRAM? i.e., when an LLC miss request goes to DRAM, the whole 64B block corresponding to that address is fetched from DRAM. But that block is transferred in 4 transactions(16B at a time, because channel width is 16B). In HBM memory, a requested block of...

Hey, guys! I was wondering.... Let's say that I install 32 GB (2x16) DDR4, 3200 MHz memory sticks onto my MoBo (whichever that one is, it's not important for what I'll ask, but let's assume that I've perfectly matched the right MoBo with the right RAM memory sticks) and that my rig works as...

I have two choices. A motherboard which supports up to 16GB DDR2, and a motherboard that supports up to 8GB DDR3. Which one should I choose? I can't buy any other mb right now so I would appreciate if you guys don't suggest me another mb.

Hi guys. I have some of an old PC that I can't seem to fix. I got random freezes in the system or while gaming sometimes. At the time I've got 12gb RAM (4gb Crucial and 8gb kingston). Thought the motherboard (Asrock 960gm-vgs3 fx) wasn't compatible with the ram so I bought 2x 4GB sticks of...

Imputing the RAM timings for my model causes a black screen when booting. I've tried using A-XMP profiles but it has the same issue. I'm using patriot viper steel ddr4 32gb (PVS432G320C6K) which has a timing of 16-18-18-36, however at the moment it's running at 16-20-20-40. I've been able to...

I read a laptop specs ( Lenovo E41-55) on amazon (highly unreliable source ) where it says RAM 4GB LPDDR4. I have not yet bought that laptop though. However I wonder if there's any way one can know for sure if their RAM is DDR or LPDDR e.g. when I run CPU-Z on my current HP laptop it just says...

Hello everyone, I have a lot of information and even if it might be boring to read it might help to understand my problem. I have played World of Warcraft for a long time. And my pc could never handle it. I always had to lower the settings in order to receive an optimal performance. The final...

Hello , I have used 8 bit DDR3 in one of my production and now am shifting to 16 bit DDR3. will it cause any thermal issues if we are switching from 8 bit to 16 bit DDR. Appreciate your quick response! Regards, Sachith

Well i know for a fact that my pc isnt grounded properly as i get minor shocks when i touch the case with bare foot, my question is due to lockdown all over the place, getting an electrician is tough right now , will there be any other negative effects on my pc except for minor shocks when...

Hello, I have had recently many tough times with RAM, now I have bought a new HX432C16PB3K2/32 - the specs of this baby are such: 3200MHz, 32 GB, CL-16. Once I first plugged them in (right after clearing CMOS because I was testing the other RAM before which did not work and took a lot out of my...

I have an unused ram stick that is ddr3 and I need a ddr stick for one build, any chance there is some adapter that lets me use the ddr3 one ?

Hello everyone. Yesterday my system booted up without beeps and it showed 8.00GB RAM (7.95GB usable) (instead of 16.00GB and around 16.00GB usable) in PC specs. I updated the BIOS, and it was fixed. But today, 10 minutes ago, display suddenly showed no signal while PC was running, i heard no...

I am wondering, if there is some performance and/or compatibility issue or difference between use of 2 sets of 2 memory modules and/or one set of 4 memory modules. To be more specific, my motherboard is the ASUS Prime X299-Deluxe II (LGA2066, Intel Core X-Series), the processor is the Intel...

Hi. This is my first post and it´s about a problem I´ve been trying to fix. I really hope someone can help me out. Usually I use the pc for gaming, 3D modelling, rendering and browing the web. I´ve been using it for the past year or so without any flaws. Cpu running at stock speeds, ram...

I am having a hard time getting any ram to work with my set up (At speed). It's bugging me and I am not sure what I am missing. Right now I have z270 Asus Prime, Crucial 3600mhz DDR4 {2x8gb} and a core i5 7600k. I had 3k mhz before and couldn't get it to behave at rated speeds, the crucial won't...

I'm building my rig, and i have two cases. An 8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws V 2400Mhz CL15 (15-15-15-35) or 2x4GB Geil Evo X 2400Mhz CL17 (17-17-17-39)? Should i care about CAS Latency? I usually play games.

Can any processor use any type of RAM (DDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, DDR5) as long as the motherboard has the correct socket for the type of RAM? Or is it dependent on the memory controller in the CPU?

Hi, I’ve been trying to overclock my i7 4770k on the newest version of Prime but couldn’t get it stable on 4.3 at 1.250volts, temps were really high on my Corsair H100i pro. I installed the 26.6 version instead and now the overclock is stable and doesn’t rise above 75c in temps, How come...

purchasing a pc case that says: NOTICE: Please make sure your motherboard is equipped with on-board USB 3.0 socket before purchasing I/O Ports: 4 x USB 3.0, Audio In/Out, Fan Speed Control This is my motherboard. Is this good?

This has been a lingering question in my mind, but how big of a difference is the performance of a FE and aftermarket GPU ? For specifics, I'm currently looking at the RTX 2070 on Newegg. There is a MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Ventus for $494, with a core clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock of 1620...

I know it's a Pipeline designed to manage videos, but it used to be copying files at over 125MB/s and now it's crawling at less than 30MB/s. I've tried swapping sata cables, disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable and nothing. What's wrong?

I used to have a 2133Mhz 4GB ram already installed in my pc ,and now i bought another 4gb ddr4 2133Mhz ram of and when I added that ram into my pc,my pc seems to get stuck inside a restart loop after few minutes....both the ram sticks are showing in bios and there is no problem in...

I was playing Factorio (a game that isn't very graphically demanding but can be cpu intensive at times) and then my pc suddenly turned off. I tried turning it back on and no activity except for an orange power LED on my motherboard. I looked around for a while on forums and came to the...

So few days ago my win 10 randomly started giving me BSODs out of no where. The message was IRQL LESS OR EQUAL. Sometimes the bsod would appear shattered so I could not read the message. I did not install anything about that time but i still tried to recover it from last working build but during...

I have been reading guides and forum posts nonstop for the past 4 days and even took my computer to a local repair shop to have it diagnosed but I still don't have an answer, this forum has always been very helpful in the past with any questions I've had so I decided to finally post. Long story...

Hi all, I've recently been experiencing BSOD errors with my build randomly but seem to be able to force them also when I run 3DMark Benchmark. My system is made up of: Gigabyte B250-HD3P MB Intel i7 7700K CPU 16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance 2400 DDR4 RAM Zotac GTX 1080 Ti Mini GPU Crucial MX500...

Like an idiot I attempted to charge a separate laptop battery by taking a usb cord that I cut and placing the positive wire to the positive side of the battery and negative wire to the negative side of the battery. Once I plugged the usb into my usb port of my HP envy it instantly killed all...

I went to install Windows on one of my old OptiPlexes. This one still uses IDE, so I knew it'd be slow. However, it takes half an hour to format the drive, and then another half an hour to copy files. The Windows pre-install environment took about five minutes to actually get past the boot...

Been trying to trouble shoot this problem for about 6 hours now, looking at the MSI manual it says it supports this PCIe m.2 but no sign of it anywhere in bios or after booting (Samsung magician or disk manager). Bios and drivers are all up to date. In the bios there seems to be no mention of...

My 6 year old cpu fan on my hyper 212 evo is making screeching sound. Is it fine if I replace the fan with my case fans?

Would it make any sense to do so at this time? I currently own a 1080ti.

I have an ASUS laptop from ~2016, running on Windows 10. I restarted my laptop earlier tonight and when it turned back on, its now so zoomed in that I can barely see the screen or anything on it. I've tried to go into settings, but the screen is so zoomed in that I can't see any of the options...

I have Kingston 2x2GB ddr3 RAM. I am using CPUZ to check but on SPD tab the frequency is 667Mhz. While buying the retailer said that it's 1600MHz. Do anyone here know any other way or tool to check RAM frequency?

Alright so I just recently put together a PC that took me awhile to get, so this is even more stressful. It's pretty high end (Specs Below) and it still struggles to do a lot of things like fire up quickly, run games as well as it did ( First day I put it together ran Rainbow 6 Siege at 250 fps...

Hey, I'm planning on buying a new pc. Based on my budget I'm going with a gigabyte a320m, ryzen 3 1300x and 8 gb 2400 ddr4. I want it for games, not searching to play in high/ultra, just want to play in a nice framerate. So according to that I have a doubt in choosing my GPU. Im beetwen an rx...
