I want to check my RAM speed so I installed CPUZ and and went to read the information.



I have low IT proficiency. My friend confirmed that these readings are low.
My laptop only has one RAM slot.
But the SPD tab is blank. Both slots show blank information.



This RAM originally came with the laptop and there's no information at all.

I have another laptop with two RAM slots. Both are occupied but the 2nd slot is a new RAM and CPUZ only shows that RAM information in the SPD tab in Slot #1, Slot #2 is blank like this.
Is this normal for laptops?

try to change slot into slot 2? maybe you will get the information

can you please press the Slot #1 and check other Slot =.=

Both slot shows blank information. Updated first post.
And my laptop only has one RAM slot.

i suspect that function probably not supported on your laptop.

better wait sum1 give u a more conclusive answer.

I googled for solutions and most solutions I come across are people downloading the newer version of CPUZ. Mine is the most recent version so there's no issue in that.
What I'm worried is that the manufacturer might have questionable hardware to manufacture this laptop and it doesn't let 3rd party software to read the information. Is that possible?

The reason I installed and ran CPUZ is because my laptop is pretty slow for its spec. (Core i7, Geforce gt 750M, 4 gig ram) It has frequent lagging and loading times to do normal tasks like scrolling in Chrome and opening folders, accessing files, launching programs, etc.

well..you can try AIda64 Extreme to check. it does the same job
SoS

Thanks for the Aida64 benchmarking link. I've installed and this is the following finding.





The SPD tab in Aida is also blank.

Its the same with my laptop. Try check if your laptop has onboard memory. It wont detect tho. When you upgrade/add another ram onto slot 1 then only it shows

Hmm....

First, can you screenshot the temperature of your system using HWMonitor?
Reason = If the fins of heatpipe in the laptop is too dusty (inefficient cooling), CPU tends to throttle it speed to minimum in order to maintain system stability.

Second, can you screenshot of SMART status of your HDD using CrystalDiskInfo?
Reason = slow file accessing and opening folders might be HDD failure indication. (I assume you didn't use SSD)

Yes in fact it does have an on board memory. Just now I opened up the laptop to swap ram from my other laptop and discovered the ram slot is empty.
After swapping ram, my laptop can't boot. I took out the ram and it booted back up fine.

Here's the other laptop's RAM JEDEC #4 timing information from CPUZ:
Elpida
Max bandwidth: PC3-12800 (800MHz)
609MHz
8
8
8
22
30

My friend said my laptop uses DDR3L ram which is low voltage ram, but the ram I'm swapping from is a normal 1.5V ram. Could that be a reason?

Thanks for the inquiry, I'll post them when I'm a little free in a while.
But to give quick answer, my laptop temp is normal. At normal usage it is barely warm at all. The hard disk has no failure or defects, I scheduled a regular defragmentation and optimization through windows tools.

I know this is an old post but it doesn't seem like it got answered fully... It seems to me as if cpu-z is running in XOC mode... Edit the cpu-z.ini to XOC=0

i try to buy the same brand of RAM to upgrade my laptop however in CPUZ SPD tab is empty.

You can open up your laptop and see the sticker on the RAM

I'm sorry I forgot about this thread since. My laptop uses DDR3L, and with a compatible RAM it works fine.

4GB RAM is too low for W7 or W10. Min at least 8GB or higher. Anyhow, RAM is cheap so better upgrade it.

Wow, 6 year thread just respond back, still same pc ah
