Welcome to Seven Forums heatman323.

All depends on what components are hiding in your laptop.
For an old Core2 it's blazing fantastic, for a new Ivy Bridge i7 it maybe could be better, depends.

Give us your system specs, and we'll give you an informed answer.

Done, thanks for the reminder. I was also going to post a screenie, when I got a blue screen running the winsat mem. Guess my laptop's got some heavy internal problems.

I'm betting your laptop is the Lenovo Y580 with Core i7-3610QM and Nvidia GTX 660M. If you are getting blue screens on winsat mem, try to test your RAM with Memtest86+. This gives you an idea if your RAM is perfectly seated and working optimally.

If you get errors, try to open the laptop and reseat the RAM modules. If you still get errors, then get a replacement if it's still under warranty, but never tell Lenovo that you opened your laptop.

 

[theveterans]

Oops, I see that you have updated your system specs. Ignore my previous post that says that I bet your laptop is the Y580.

Welcome heatman323
I think you should do a bit better in winsat too, maybe around the 28,000+ range. You shouldn't BSOD running winsat though.
Maybe try posting in our Crashes and Debugging forums.

@theveterans
Yes, it is. Hmm, the opening part. Well frankly I dont know jack about hardwares and the like, I'll just probably end up dissecting my poor laptop lol

@Britton
Is there any way to improve it to 28k mbps? I'll try to post in that section, thanks for the suggestion

You may have to manually set your RAM parameters in your BIOS to the voltage/timings on their labels. your specs say frequency 79?

 

[theveterans]

Being a laptop that isn't custom build, I don't think heatman323 can change any parameters from the BIOS aside from boot order.

D'oh! That's is likely right, Sorry.

I can't see anywhere in this thread where he as put the actual speed of his ram Gary?


If it's 1333mhz or 1600mhz then his speed is spot on, surely he could only expect 28,000+ if he has some 2133mhz or faster ram.

Here Paul. His RAM specs are Type DDR3 Size 8192 MBytes Channels # Dual DRAM Frequency 79

Hi Gary, yes I saw that, but where does that mention the actual speed of the ram?

It says the type and amount, but not the speed? Unless I am being real thick and Frequency 79 refers to a certain speed?

 

[Britton30]

Ah, I see what you mean.

Hopefully he can enlighten us with this information next time he visits this thread.

I would take a guess that it's 1600mhz ram, and if it is then his 20,000 score is spot on.


Paul.

 

[heatman323]

Hi guys, and thanks all of you for the assistance. I honestly don't know much about technical stuff, so I don't know if these screenies are the right ones. Hope I posted the right ones.

 

[Britton30]

Very helpful. Your RAM is 1600MHz and that winsat score is fine for your system as Paul said for 1600 RAM.

Thank to all who helped, glad I eliminated this problem

Yep bang on there, running totally as it should speed wise

 

[Britton30]

You're welcome and hopefully we can solve the issue in your other thread too.
