U need to check....
Mostly will only come with Atheros.....

LOL

Well what it means is that CL always go higher as the speed increases from DDR to DDR2 to DDR3. It means that any gains in speed is effectively 'neutralized' as CL increases. For example, DD2-667 CL4 and DDR3-1333 CL8 produces the same amount of performance. Interesting right? Then why the fuss about going DDR3? The answer is bus speed increases. CPU buses are increasing year after year. DDR2 can only go so fast, it needs to go higher. (Read DDR2 vs DDR3)

Therefore it is always a goal to keep CL as low as possible so that gains in memory speed is meaningful. Such is the case of Corsair Vengeance series and the likes, offering DDR3 1600MHz at CL9. JEDEC references DDR3 at CL11 if not mistaken so normal consumer RAM sticks will be there while performance brands will try to make chips operate at lower CL. Thats why the price is higher (lesser supply).

If you would look at the benchmarks, the difference ain't much. Especially now we're at Ivy Bridge (3rd generation Intel Core) where the memory controller is on the CPU package. Also we have GPU subsystem with its own independent GDDR5. Therefore it would be safe to assume that general performance aren't affected much.

Don't get me wrong. A performance RAM does provide increases in performance. The question is how much and whether that increase is where it matters most. 1-2fps increase? Few % increases in benchmark scores? What I do know performance RAM is good is where overclocking is concern.

Does anyone know if the Y480/580 can be overclocked and settings tweaked?

oh?? i thought the stock mcafee came with 30 days trial only? so i uninstalled it...

step by step ssd INSTALLATION?? easy 20 steps...
1st. Flip to the back of your laptop
2nd. Remove the battery
3rd. Unlock the 2 screws that access your main board
4th. Remove the cover
5th. Remove the 2 screws at your hard disk bay (1 very long, 1 very short)
6th. Unplug your HDD from the hard disk bay
7th. Unscrew the 4 chrome screws on your HDD tray
8th. Take out your HDD (remember the front and back position)
9th. Place your SSD at the tray
10th. Screw back the 4 chrome screws on your HDD tray
11th. Plug in your SSD to the HDD bay
12th. Screw back the 2 screws at the hard disk bay
13th. Put back the cover and properly inplace it
14th. Screw back the bottom 2 screws
15th. Install back your battery
16th. Flip back to the front
17th. Open the Lid
18th. Press power switch to switch it on
19th. Press F2 to enter BIOS to make sure it detects your SSD
20th. Save and Exit

Walah!!! SSD Installation COMPLETE

O.o''' heavy typing..thx for sharing=) planning to get ssd as soon as possible

mccafee was for 1 year i think..

hayar, daikor... not the physical part la.. that 1 even my little bro can do it, easier than tamiya car..

i mean moving windows from the hdd stock partition to ssd without partition.. d steps leh.. rmb we talked about it.. recovery disk n all

BTW, how does u all comment abt this backpack?



It's Belkin Swift Backpack, got one member sell this backpack....



Blame for Thunder Match.....
Thunder Match Technology Sdn Bhd still no release my Nokia's phone commission when worked at Nokia booth PC EXPO May 2012, shit!!!!
Say mid or end of this month will release but still no any news, keep sms the incharge ppl but no reply......

use cpu-z to check your RAM timings at diff speed .
for each single ram has their own timings at certain speed
e.g.
1600Mhz 9-9-9-24
1333Mhz x-x-x-x
1000Mhz x-x-x-x

Just make sure the timings is same at that speed for both piece of ram if u want your system to be stable

oooo....coz u mention the INSTALLATION ma....hehehe
ok...easy as 1 2 3
1st. use ur HDD and create 4 recovery DVDs (choose factory default)
2nd. change HDD to SSD like the previous 20 Steps
3rd. change from BIOS boot from DVD
4th. restore back

I can't guarantee 100% work....
but mine had partition cloned and customize the size before....so, mine worked..

Wah，tqvm for a real good summary, it does save a lot of time for me...

Yup its good. I usually like Belkin products, they are affordable and value for money. It has a lot of storage pockets and offers good protection. But if you have a lot to store, then you need something larger. For my case, I went for the Targus Ecosmart series (a little expensive though) because I need a storage area for files and stuff.

Also make sure the voltage is correct. 1.5V. Some RAM gain lower CL but with over-voltage. But don't worry about those Corsair Vengeance, they are 1.5V

I think what we want is how to transfer the windows OS　that was already installed, without going thru the h*ll again of intalling all the OS, drivers, programs...

i have an idea, don't know if work or not:

backup my C: drive and save it in D:. then fix the SSD, copy the backup from D: to SSD, then restore...

i remember somebody mentioned about issues with 8gb piece ram
he said the Y480 ram slot r picky with memory modules
the oem ram module run at 1.35V. normal one is 1.5v .

http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-...ade/td-p/806817

hey, i have installed cpu-z, when run for the first few timesbut it got stuck at the gpu stage, never finish, and hogging the CPU at 14% load, causing my cpu temp to shoot to 64++.

I run again, this this it does finish loading and show the main page, but at the Memory tab, it can just show Size = 8096 MB, the rest all greyed out, and the SPD page all greyed out. - what's the problem?

Mine one is with Hynix chipset and voltage is normal 1.5V....

on SPD, both slot #1 & #2 can't show any data...

cpu-z runs on my dektop without any problem...

U may want to test each ram individually cos u are mixing ram with diff speed. Try take out one ram 1st and run again

Windows will work, Recovery partition won't neither do OKR button

will appreciate if you can expand this sentence into 3 or 4 sentences...

Added on August 25, 2012, 9:46 pmyeah that's what i guessed, but mafan la... dun want to do this unless it is confirmed to be the problem...

Mine is Hyundai at 1.5V. So it appears that we should be hunting for 1.35V ones from Samsung? Better power consumption

I agree with the forum. I upgraded from 2x2GB modules to 2x4GB modules for my Macbook Pro last time. Immediately see reduction in battery life. At least 30-45minutes shaved!
