Well the samsung ram defaults to 1333 speeds, I can't get 1600 rated speeds out of these, I can't understand why they even put lower profiles on them, if they sell them as 1600 then that should be the only profile they support not anything lower for compatibility, so of coarse the HP bios default to the "safe" profile and won't load the good one.



Hi, yes I have modded bios running, the link is at the top,, I have been preoccupied with other things lately but I am going to get the max o.c. soon , I haven't been putting much time into the laptop since I got the 2500k and tuning that. I am currently on windows8 with the laptop as well, and I don't think that it is a good environment to be testing o.c. with as I have stability problems with the power state as it is. Sometimes the laptop will just hang with windows giving an error with a sad face and a code, must be the new bsod screen.

I will be going back to win 7 soon enough and continue some testing on Llano, with best case scenario frame rates and settings across a few games.

If anybody has any games that they would like configured and ran, please let me know, I have many but I might not have the one your looking for though..


Continued in a few days.

Well I hate to rain on your parade and I write this with all due respect towards a retired staff, but it is in fact in dual channel mode with the 6Gb of ram. You see when both slot one with 4Gb (channel A) and slot two with 2Gb (channel B) are populated the ram defaults to dual channel. If I had to actually research that to know or make a "claim" I would point you in that direction, but I don't its common sense. 18,000 posts and you learn something new every day.

You are correct in fact that the APU does rely on memory very much in games but I don't think i'm being held back 50-70% because of my ram, I know, I've done my homework, I bought one of these APU's and I didn't go into it blindly. My hopes were to increase its potential by adding some 1600Mhz ram, (of coarse in dual channel) but sadly it stayed at 1333, I made out some with memory speeds and latency as well it increased the memory cache on the APU itself adding the Samsung, I'm happy with that at least I guess. So it seems I'm stuck with the memory where it is, I'm not sure if the auto o.c. stuff that corsair sells would do it either, my bios locks seems to lock it at 1333, all I can do is blame HP in the end as they put this artificial restriction on the APU by using cheap ram . I would agree that I am being held back with the APU and stuck at 1333 vs 1600 but not by such a significant amount.

Stock ram 4Gb + 2Gb in dual channel.


Samsung ram 4Gb +4Gb in dual channel.
