Founder Brian Posted November 18, 2012 Founder Share Posted November 18, 2012 The 1600 MHz ram should down clock to 1333 MHz if your notebook doesn't support the rated speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serg Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Does anybody know if GT780DX will support more than 8Gb of Ram?I have read that only two of four slots will work with i5 CPU, so 2slots*4GB=max?I also wanted to upgrade RAM, but it seems there is no chance to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, 16GB is confirmed to work with an i5, not sure about 32GB though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, well time to digest the fine print:It supports a maximum of one unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 DIMM per-channelHaha, only one DIMM per channel, not the standard two (found in i7's). Nice call.Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serg Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thanks for clarifying. It is very sad that there is no information about such limitations on ofiicial MSI site (or I did not find it).I bought GT780DX, and wanted to upgrade it with additional memory in free slots.Will try 2*8GBDid anybody upgraded to I7? How much will cost such upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator BAKED Posted November 23, 2012 Moderator Share Posted November 23, 2012 It's really easy to do yourself.Here's a list of the quad core i7s for laptops: Stock Turbo WattCore i7-2960XM 2.7 Ghz 3.7 Ghz 55Core i7-2920XM 2.5 Ghz 3.5 Ghz 55Core i7-2820QM 2.3 Ghz 3.4 Ghz 45 Core i7-2720QM 2.2 Ghz 3.3 Ghz 45 Core i7-2635QM 2.0 Ghz 2.9 Ghz 45 Core i7-2630QM 2.0 Ghz 2.9 Ghz 45You can find the one you want on ebay, there's both brand new and used.

teuing Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I've read a guy's comment in different forum saying you wouldn't get the benefit of 1600MHz RAM on 2630QM. Is that true?Is it still possible to get the benefit of 1600MHz RAM in 2630QM?**I'm currently using 2630QM and not planning on upgrade because AFAIK it's better upgrading the GPU than CPU. (I've been planning to upgrade my MS1761 GPU from GTX570M to 7970M rather than 2630QM to 2760QM etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody here tried a memory with 1600mhz DDR3 memory on a GT780DX that did work? I just want to know if it did work on the 2630qm processor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poshto Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I OC'ed stock 4Gb ram module to 1600, and it works fine. Gonna check 2x4Gb Corsair Vengeance on 1600 tomorrow.GT780dx, i5 2450m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to know if it did work on the 2630qm processor I've found a thread in other forum that is interesting. People who know that I7 2670QM/2630QM works with 1600 RAM at full speed HELP! Screenshots appreciate! I OC'ed stock 4Gb ram module to 1600, and it works fine. Gonna check 2x4Gb Corsair Vengeance on 1600 tomorrow.GT780dx, i5 2450m. How did you overclock your ram? What software do you use? I got 1400MHz just because I increased the BCLK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poshto Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It's in custom bios on Advanced page. Memory frequency: Auto, 1067, 1333, 1600, 1867, 2133. Today I bought Corsair Vengeance RAM 2x4Gb. It works fine on 1600Mhz out of box. Tried to run it on 1867, but failed. As well as raise bclk over 102. Now RAM are stable on 1628Mhz.
