As far as i know, your Team Elite 1333 will change its timing to match with your Samsung RAM while downclocked to 1333MHz. As for optimizing the pair, not sure. Different timing with different clock rate RAM combination really doesn't fit well.

It will work just fine... but the samsung stick will be downclock as 1333

oh ya... stupid me.. forgot it is a bluray reader only

ohh... but i think mccafee should be better right since have to pay 1

please do check... just wanna make sure the 660gtx is not a nerfed 1, asked deepcool b4 but he didnt reply

errr, i saw angmoh forum they download legal windows oem, then put in ur own cd/license key lor... if u happen to lose ur cd/partition

ohh.. they give bit defender and u get free mccafeee... 2 anti virus!!

bro, u havent giv us step by step for ssd installtion yet

Guys. any idea how to download the latest BIOS firmware?

hi thx. I understand 9-9-9-24 (Team Elite 1333), but what is 11-11-F3 (this is on Samsung 1600 4gb stick)? i guess not only the 1600 MHz will dg to 1333, the Team Elite's CL will be dragged to 11 right?

Yes correct. Both sticks will 'adapt' to the slowest timing and frequency of the slower stick. This is to ensure overall compatibility is achieved. That is why most would advise installing the same stick. Essentially they don't need to be of the same brand. Just same speed in terms of frequency and timings.

yup... thats y most of the brand will sell the RAM in two stick to make it fully compatible and give the best performance on dual channel...

Added on August 25, 2012, 11:07 amhmm, wonder why Lenovo gives us a 1600MHz stick but with such high CL...

cheaper??

windows experience index:
total 5.1
graphic 5.1
graphic gaming 6.7
it tat normal? =="

no, not normal, the first 4 items should be > 7.0, only the hdd is 5.9 (using 5400rpm), overall = 5.9.

post your screen here and see?

I checked it again, my gtx660m really has memory speed at 1250MHz (2500MHz double rate) on y580. Even on Asus G-series thread, I saw people posting furmark test result for their G55 had gtx660m run at 1250Mhz also. Even on deepcool test also record the same value before he oc it

2500mhz on double rate? are u sure? post some image la...

Set power to high performance or lenovo dynamic power. Either that or windows took the index from the HD4000

Anyway i have a 1600mhz samsung 4gb ram, the same as stock. Anybody interested pm me to discuss.

here...

as you can see, gpu-z only display 1250MHz but both gpu shark and furmark record it as 2500MHz

my y480 is making strange noise at the 2 ventilation hole below the laptop

it's a very soft "tiii tiii" sound , it is normal ?

GPU-Z only show the memory clock before double data
rate

Oh, few days ago I wonder why my Kingston 1600 RAM is compatible with the default RAM, so I take out and see and found that both rams are using same chipset (hynix )

They are standard clocks. The higher the DRAM frequency, bandwidth the higher the CL. Some manage to speed bin better grade memory chips to run lower CL, so they go into a special category of products. Thats why they are being differentiated from standard modules and thus sold at a more expensive price.

To add further, its a very small gain. This article would provide more into perspective: Memory Speed vs Latency

the noise is only present when AC adapter is not plugging in

any y480 user experience this problem?
