Upgrading RAM on my Dell G15 Ryzen. 1Rx16 vs 1Rx8 Difference in Games?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- I bought new HyperX RAM to replace the stock RAM from my Dell G15. See how to change the RAM on this laptop and watch some gaming tests.
Some notes: The gameplay was recorded using OBS on the same laptop so you might actually get better performance than shown. This was also before the new vbios that Dell recently released that increased the max wattage of the GPU to 130. Nice that they're still doing updates and quickly too.
Here's the link the RAM I used:

Thanks for the video! I didn’t knew what was the ram I needed for this laptop and your video helped me a lot. I make games so I need more ram than just 8 gigs
thanks for trying it out
Great video. Very informative and easy to follow!
Thanks!
I'm not sure I see a significant enough of a difference to get a new set of ram. So far I'm loving this laptop!
Yeah, I feel the same. Good to know that there is a way to get a little more out of the laptop if we need it later though.
I tried playing rust on my i7 w 3050ti and it crashed and told me I need a minimum of 10gb ram 😭😭😭
I just bought the Dell G15 Ryzen edition with the 3060 and I love it.. it's great to know that I can get even more performance out of it with a simple ram upgrade...
@@Loaded0 Hey, did you check the timings of your stock ram? TRFC is equivalent to what was considered "good x8 ram" in the legion 5 pro. I have the intel version of your laptop and the stock x16 ram had similar timings to the legion 5 pro "good ram" and my benchmark did not increase in performance after swapping the stock x16 ram modules for x8.
Mine was for sure the same Samsung x16 ram that was showing the lower performance that everyone else got early on.
Sounds like some people are getting other brands or newer ram still x16 but better timings and performance. Could also have been recent updates that AMD has been working on due to Windows 11 too.
Thanks for information.
Scarlet Fire!! Holy shit I’m subbing just because of that lol.
Good job calling out your critic straight up. Great comparison too. Much appreciated!
keep up I watch your videos
So it helps for CPU intensive games, like most eSports titles i guess. I play mostly AAA games, guess I'll stick with what came with my laptop. Thanks for your honest opinion at the end.
Have you upgraded BIOS to 1.4.0 yet? What differences have you noticed from 1.2.0 that you demonstrated in a previous video?
The new bios along with the new vbios made the max wattage for the 3060 up to 130 now. The bios also seemed to fix the default fan curve. It now start up at a lower temperature. Still very quiet though. It fixed the Alienware Command Center so that it doesn’t show 100% fans when it’s not really at 100% (G mode is the real 100%).
I tested some game performance but it wasn’t really a big difference. The 3060 does seem to go above 115 watts more often now though.
Much obliged!
Thank you!
I upgraded my ram to 32gigs and added the second SSD 1tb thanks to you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I got this for 700 open box at Best Buy the thing was brand new I couldn’t believe the deal I had to get it
Lol! Exact same scenario for me too!
I noticed in your video that your laptop's RAM slot says "DIMM", but the RAM you installed is "SODIMM". Is that correct? SODIMM ram will go into the Dell G15 with AMD Ryzen 7 (ours also says "FHD", we got it from Best Buy)? Thanks for the great video!
Yes, it takes SODIMM ram. DIMM is just the larger variants used in desktop computers while laptops and mini PCs use SODIMM.
Hello, sorry once again but I have another question regarding an SSD upgrade. Have you read the documentation for our laptop? It mentions this: "NOTE: If you have ordered only one solid-state drive, it can be upgraded to the solid-state drive of the same form factor but an additional solid-state drive is not supported. If you have ordered two solid-state drives, they can be upgraded to the solid-state drives of the same form factor respectively." - Pretty much fried my head. Does this mean the 2nd SSD I ordered won't work on the 2nd slot? I noticed yours has 2 SSDs installed, did you order "two SSD drives"?
No, my unit only came with one SSD, but there are still two slots. Maybe they’re covering themselves for not including an extra mounting bracket. That whole statement is false too because the laptop can take 2280 and 2230 size m.2 drives.
When you do install a new ssd in the 2nd slot it might not be formatted and won’t show in Windows so make sure to format it after installing.
@@Loaded0 Yup that's why I was confused. I guess we can assume the text was probably automatically generated for the manual. Ah yup got it, I'll format it when I install it.. after I figure out where to order a mounting bracket haha.. seems like it's out of stock so my only option might be Amazon... Which would take about a month for delivery. Thank you for answering my questions
Did you check the timings the Dell was using for the new RAM? It's possible that the laptop did not recognize the RAM's correct timings, and defaulted to a slower set of timings. It probably didn't do this, since your bios was reporting it as '3200MHz'--often RAM will be set to a slower MHz if it is not recognized properly, but I would use a utility program like Zentimings to see what the details of the timings were.
Oh, I didn’t put it in the video but the timings were at CL20. I checked because the Alienware Command Center ram timing display didn’t change after installing the ram. I guess there’s a bug and it always reports the same wrong numbers.
Thank you for your video, I'm pretty sure you're gonna save me hundreds in labor costs!!! I have a question, I have the same laptop as you but with the core i7. Do u recommend the kit u used on mine? Since it said intel xmp ready? Can u please post the link? Also, how did u access ur bios window? Thanks again! Also, I tried playing rust and it crashed on me and told me I needed at least 10mg ram to play... can I upgrade to 16mg of ram on the laptop? I must play rust!
It’ll work fine for the i7. Here’s the link for the ram on Amazon, but it might be cheaper elsewhere.
www.amazon.com/dp/B07BGLV44J/
Bios is accessed by pressing F2 right after turning on the laptop. Pressing F2 repeatedly is better since timing is hard to get.
@@Loaded0 I got the 3200mhz one even though the specs say it's 2933 mhz. Is it bad if I got that instead? It was only like 10 bucks more. And I ordered it before I saw the spec. I'm new to building and it can be a little overwhelming. Again, thanks for ur help and u got a subscriber here!
It’ll work ok. It’ll just work at the 2933mhz speed if that’s the max for your laptop. When you open the laptop just know that some of the screws don’t come out all the way and those same screws help push the bottom panel off the chassis.
@@Loaded0 it's just ten screws all around and then just switching the actual ram right? Ok, I'll make sure not to force anything
My laptop came with an existing 8GB RAM 1Rx16. I recently bought an extra 8GB RAM 1Rx8 so I can use the extra memory slot and maximize the capacity. But it seems like these two RAMs are not compatible, my laptop hangs when booting up and shows blue screen errors every time. Could it be because of different memory ranks (x8 and x16)?
Would it be a wise decision if I just buy a RAM that’s exactly the same as my existing RAM? Two 1Rx16? 😣
Thanks in advance!
Usually even with different ram it should be fine as long as the speed and type match, but it’s always better to have the two of the same because of matches timings too.
Get the same one or if you can get a kit of two 1Rx8 RAM.
@@Loaded0 Thanks for this! Will try to get the same one, hope it works! =)
great video , i recently brought the 16GB variant . bt the storage looks quite low ( 512 GB ) . what is max upgrade can we do on storage part ?
I believe it listed 2TB per drive. I actually haven’t seen any capacity bigger than 2TB for sale so if they eventually make one I’m sure it’ll work fine as long as it fits the standard.
Hey bro, i saw dell g15 ryzen5 on dell website says that memory speed was 8gb 3200mhz so it is already 1rx8?
It’s probably still x16. It doesn’t have to do with listed amount and speed of the memory. It’s more how the memory was made. My G15 came with two 8GB 1rx16 sticks so the 8GB model is probably just coming with one stick.
Congratulations on the content, what is the difference between a 2Rx8 and 1Rx8 memory and what is the best for Games and Production. Brazilian greetings
I haven’t really read much info on the two. 2Rx8 is dual rank and the 1Rx8 is single rank. I believe single rank should be a bit faster.
Hey frnd, does it have mux switch if not then is its display connected directly with igpu or discrete? My frnd bought same g15 rtx 3050ti model here in india!
Sounds like only the 3060 model has a mux switch, but both the hdmi and usbc connection is from the discrete gpu.
I've just upgraded my ram from one 8GB stick to two 16GB CL16 3200 mhz
for a total of 32GB
but for some reason it stuck running at 2667 mhz
any ideas on how to change the mhz as the bios does not allow access to the ram speed option
Yeah a lot of ram, especially cl16, requires xmp to change speeds. Most Ryzen laptops don’t have that option so you need to get ram that has a JEDEC profile set to 3200mhz.
Hey that laptop has 16GB ×1 or 8GB ×2 =16Gb. which is better ?
Also same brand I mean Ram kits rams giving good fps or one Laptops ram and another one from Amazon s ram.
Which will be good or I will have fps drop?
I think Kit rams are more good?
Two ram sticks are better than one and having the same ram is better than mixing and matching for performance.
Hello, sorry I have a question regarding your video. So I purchased a G15 5155 (Ryzen 5 5600H, RTX 3050). It came with only a single stick of 8GB DDR4 ram, I contacted them about this, waiting for a response since it's meant to be 2x 4GB. So I was wondering if I purchased the same model of ram as yours, would it work? Sorry, I know our laptops are the same model and it should work fine, but just double-checking. Also, this is the same RAM model ("HYPERX IMPACT HX432S20IB2K2/16 16GB (2X8GB) 3200MHZ DDR4 SODIMM") correct?
Yes, that’s the same ram I used in the video and it’ll work well for your laptop model too. If you don’t need the 16gb though you might want to wait and see if Dell sends you a replacement set.
@@Loaded0 Oh thank you for your reply. Actually I was hoping to upgrade my ram anyways, 8gb won't be enough for me so I'll go for the ram set you mentioned.
@@oggycather afaik 4gb ddr4 3200mhz ram sticks don't exist
Anyone know how to differentiate between x8 and x16 when buying from amazon?
I have heard some people say x8 ram will have those black chips on both sides of the ram while x16 only has them on one side, but I’m not sure that’s a fact. Best way to tell is look up the model of the ram on the manufacturer’s website for a spec sheet.
Hey! loved the vid. Also is it fine if i just get one additional ram stick and pop it in even though the sticks would be from 2 different companies, considering I would be using the stock one and the one i bought extra?
Yup it’ll work. It’s best to use two of the same for the best performance, but if you just need more ram it’ll work fine with mismatched sticks too.
@@Loaded0 Ok thank you. I came across this ram stick and I just want to if it'll work fine with my stock one in the Dell G15 Ryzen 5 Nvidia 3050, but I cant post the link here for some reason, so is there a way I can send it to you on something else?
Maybe just post the brand and model number here? I can’t tell you for sure if I haven’t used it myself, but most 1.2v 3200mhz ddr4 sodimm ram will work. If the timings and speed are off between the two ram it’ll just run at the slower speed between them.
@@Loaded0 Samsung 8GB DDR4 3200MHz SODIMM PC4-25600 CL22 1Rx8 1.2V 260-Pin SO-DIMM Laptop Notebook RAM Memory Module M471A1K43DB1-CWE...thats the description of it on amazon.
Yeah that one should work well. Some of the user reviews even list laptop models with Ryzen CPUs and they said it works so it should run at the full 3200mhz too.
My laptop has 1rX16 8gb skhynix should I add 16gb 1rX8 to make total 24gb ddr5 ram will it work ?
As long as it’s the same ddr type and size it’ll work. It’s just best to have to the same ram for performance.
What happens if you use 1 x8 and another x16 ram?? Here it comes with x16 (8gb)ram so if I buy only one x8 (8gb)ram will it cause any issues?
No issues but you won’t get the best performance out of it. You want to have the same type of ram to optimize for dual channel memory.
If I put in 1rx8 version of ram with a 1rx16 already inside will it be fine? Or should I keep both ranks same? Tell me if dual channel will work.Ty
Yeah it'll still work fine. Always best to have the same RAM, but mixing them up will work if you're just looking to add more memory.
@@Loaded0 thanks
What screwdriver size do you use to open it up?
I don’t remember. It was a really small one though. I have an iFixit knock off electronics set for these projects and just try different sizes.
Man do you to take first the batery out before put in the new ram?
It’s recommended, but not required. Just make sure the laptop is off and ground yourself before handling components.
Thanks for the video, bro!
Can I upgrade this very same laptop to 32GB ram and 1tb SSD plus the 512Gb stock one?
Yes you can.
@@Loaded0
Thanks!
Thanks for the comparison! I think that's the right kit for a Ryzen based laptop with no XMP support. The HyperX/Fury seems to be the fastest available ram kit for that particular use case. I have the 32GB 2Rx8 kit on the way. Should be a big upgrade from the 8GB 1Rx16 Samsung kit that my laptop shipped with.
how does the laptop run now?
Does it work with kingston fury? I have the 8gb dell g15 ryzen and I stream playing, do I need more, do you recommend putting 16gb or 32gb on it?
Yeah the Fury should work. I think they just changed the name from HyperX to Fury and it’s actually the same ram. Whether you need more ram would depend on the games you play while you stream. 16gb is recommended for modern games and 32gb if you also multitask a lot.
@@Loaded0 Fortnite and genshin, thank you very much I'll buy that one then!
Fortnite scales pretty well so probably won’t need the extra RAM. Genshin is a bit of a resource hog so at least 16gb would be good especially if you stream using the laptop at the same time.
Hey bro I have the Dell g15 5515 with 8gb ram but want to upgrade it to 16gb at 3200 mhz Haven't found any definite answers on specific models and brands to buy as I have heard some ram mixing configurations don't work. Any suggestions?
Did you mean you want to use the ram you have and just add another stick? In that case best would be to get the same model so the RAM timings will be the same.
It might be easier to buy a kit though with two of the same RAM sticks. You just have to make sure the JEDEC profile of the RAM is set to 3200mhz. Also reading customer reviews of the RAM will help because lots of people will say whether it worked at the full 3200mhz in their Ryzen systems.
@@Loaded0 yup you are exactly right and I opened the laptop up and got the same ram, thanks anyways.
Can we install rx8 in laptop with pre-installed rx 16?
Means rx16 and rx 8 at the same time??
Yup. No problem mixing them. Always best to have the same RAM but it will work.
hi i have the kingston fury impact 3200mhz cl 20, is it the same ?
It should be the same. The HyperX line was sold to HP so Kingston changed their ram to the Fury line.
Hi i have asus laptop with ryzen 5 3550h and gtx 1660 ti, when i buy I purchase upgrade package from the store I bought, and after I check it the ram was 1Rx16 and the other ram was 2Rx8 (8g x 2), if I remove both ram and replace with 1Rx8 ram (8g x 2) will it improve it's performance, can I expect the perfomance gain as you do, since in cpu bound game the cpu do bottleneck it.
It should help a little but the 3550 isn’t as fast so the performance gains won’t be as dramatic. It also helps to have the same type of ram for both slots so your laptop should run better in general with the new ram.
@@Loaded0 Thanks
I have the RTX 3050 version of the G15 and was thinking to buy the Crucial Ballistix 2x8Gb RAM but after seeing your video I'm starting to have second thoughts. If possible make a follow up video testing the gains of a better RAM in video editing and other tasks please. Good job by the way.
Hi, what cpu have your version and temps are good with the 3050?
@@fknlife Ryzen 5600H. I updated the BIOS the same day I got it so I have no idea if the temps were high before but after the update I have no problems in that regard with 43-45 ºC idle.
@@MLMinfinito Thx, man. I buy the same model (5600h and 3050), glad to hear that.
Making this video with the new RAM and Davinci Resolve compared to my previous videos with the old RAM I didn't feel any difference while using the program. I think the render times finished a little faster at the end though. I have a feeling the differences will be more pronounced if I did 4K videos or projects with high RAM usage. This is probably why benchmarks show a bigger difference than real life because normally we don't do any high CPU and RAM tasks for long periods.
I think if you're good with the amount of RAM you have there's no reason to upgrade. If you want go from 8 to 16GB or 16 to 32GB then you might as well get the better RAM modules.
@@Loaded0 I bought the normal Crucial 8Gb Ram in addition to the preinstaled one for a total of 16Gb onboard and it's working fine. I also use Davinci Resolve and with no difference after upgrading the RAM I'll keep the ones I have. Thanks again for the info.
I had a single stick 2Rx8 16gb, bought two sticks for dual channel with 8gb on board 1Rx16 now thinking switching from 1Rx16 (8+8gb) to 1Rx8 (8+8gb) to get best out of it.
If you want the best performance that’ll help, but it’s also not that much of a difference. DDR4 ram is cheaper these days though and it’ll get more expensive as they stop making them and focus on DDR5.
Something I find REALLY interesting is your temps are 2 degrees cooler on average with the new ram, very interesting. Edit: With optimus
I didn’t notice that, but the tests were done in the same environment so maybe it did help with temps.
I am having trouble removing the screws. They unscrew but then begin to just bounce around in the hole and will not come out. I can hear the case pop as I try to further remove the screw. It is really ticking me off.
A couple of them are “captive screws” so they aren’t meant to come out all the way. When they bounce around they’re done so just lift the panel off.
@@Loaded0 It is the four in the very back. I managed to get the left bottom screw out after much effort, but the other three forget about it. I'll try again to lift the back off.
Yeah don’t take those out all the way. The case popping sound is the screws lifting the case up for you so it’s easier to remove the panel. Once the screws are loose in the hole it’s ready to come off.
Hello 2 × Kingston FURY Impact SO-DIMM 16 Go DDR4 3200 MHz CL20 Works on this laptop ? Thanks
It should. I believe the HyperX ram I used it just the Fury because Kingston sold the HyperX name.
@@Loaded0 thanks bro 🙏
hi what dou think about changing 1R x8 ram to 2R x8 ?? dou think it will boost performance??
Yeah I don’t think there’s a difference for those. I also read DDR5 doesn’t have this issue anymore too for future laptops.
@@Loaded0 Thanks Ill cancel my dual rank order now..i already have fury 1rX8 8 x 2 GB CL 20 ...🙂
You know if crucial ram works in this laptop?, bcz in the official page say is not...
It should work. I saw other youtubers use 3200mhz Crucial ram to compare the differences between single rank and dual rank ram.
Is it possible to insert another ram with stock ram?
Depends on the configuration you buy. There’s two slots total so if your configuration comes with one ram you can add another. Mine came with two in it already so both slots were filled.
Does rtx 3050 model have a mux switch??
No. Everyone in my comments have mentioned that they do not have the option even after bios upgrade on the 3050 models.
Hey want to find the cheapest ram for the dell g1515 on amazon
Look for 3200mhz 1.2v Sodimm ram. Also read the comments or look up the spec sheet for the ram to make sure it runs at 3200mhz out of the box for the best speed. Ram goes on sale all the time.
Does this laptop have slot for hdd?
It has two m.2 slots for storage.
I have the G15 with the one 8GB stick. Will these two 8gb be a good difference in performance?
Yes, having dual channel ram will help for CPU performance. Try to get a kit or buy two of the same sticks.
@@Loaded0 is there a kit you can recommend to me? Thank you for the reply!
The ones I’ve been using worked well for me, but normal price is a bit more expensive than others. I’ve also seen people use Crucial brand ram and a friend of mine got a GSkill kit. Any of these should work well. Just make sure it’ll run at 3200mhz out of the box without xmp. Usually customer comments/reviews will say if it worked for Ryzen laptops.
@@Loaded0 would that work well?
I don’t see a link.
What do you think of the temperature after the last bios update?
Main complaint against this laptop is that the max is set to 100c on the CPU. Other companies set their max between 90-95. The new bios doesn’t change that, but they fixed the fan curve so it turns on at a lower temperature to keep temps lower for longer.
Basically it will still hit 100c on the CPU occasionally depending on the game/workload. While the CPU gets hot the chassis actually stays relatively cool. The hot spots are the exhausts in the back and the underside near the middle.
@@Loaded0 Do you recommend this or legion 5 with the same specs? Not the pro version and both are the same price in my country
@@Loaded0 Lenovo Legion 5 15ACH6H To be specific
Yeah I would go for the legion 5 if it’s the same price/specs. Legion 5 here in the US currently costs about 25% more than this Dell and with shipping wait time, but for the same price the Legion is a better laptop.
Is there any way to modify the cpu thermal limits to a slightly lower temperature?
What if i only add one x8 8gb memory with my already added inbuilt 8gb one ?
It should work fine, but ram works the fastest when everything is the same between them so you won't be getting the best performance.
The X16 would have fewer chips. I always see them as having chips on just one side. They are a more dense chip but the rumor is that X8 is better.
Yeah the chips on one side seems to be a common trait for the x16. They say x8 is able to transfer more memory bandwidth so CPUs can take advantage and work a bit faster.
Which is better, 3200mhz 1rx16 or 2666mhz 2rx8?
I haven’t tested it myself, but the 3200mhz should be better even with the bandwidth difference.
I really recommend undervolting the GPU with MSI afterburner. It has worked wonders on the laptop for me.
I'm running mine at 0.931 volts, GPU clock 1972Mhz~1995Mhz.
Doing so will reduce GPU power consumption by at least 20 W if not more
when you keep FPS constant, or increase FPS if it was being power limited before.
I play shadow of the tomb raider at constant FPS (Half the screen Refresh Rate).
It has reduced Power and temps significantly. GPU stays at mid 60's and CPU mid 80's.
I use a laptop cooler mind you.
Honestly, every laptop gamer MUST undervolt their GPU. It's a waste if they don't.
But especially for this laptop the effects are profound.
The stock 1.1V is too high and honestly wastes a lot of power.
Anyway, thanks for making videos on this laptop and keeping updated with the new developments.
Cheers!
This is great. Using this method or Ryzen Controller to adjust the CPU will help people with temperature concerns.
You can use msi afterburner with this laptop I got the one with the 3060
could you do a guide ????
Does this laptop have a MUX switch?
Yes, they added it in a bios update.
I know the fans kick in nicely when using performance mode by pushing the G key. Are they as well controlled when bypassing the iGPU using the MUX switch?
Seems to work the same in either mode.
What's the maximum ram can I upgrade?
32GB according to the documentation. I wouldn’t be surprised if it worked up to 64GB though.
@@Loaded0 yes mate it's really weird that the max is 32GB
Thanks, mate
I bought 2 Kingston ddr4 cl20 3200 16GB, after I installed into my G15 5511, I can not turn on my laptop. I press the power button, only keyboard light on.
Well, first thing is double check to see if it's installed correctly. If that doesn't work try putting your old ram back in. If it works with the old ram then there's something wrong with the Kingston ram.
You can also try it with one stick at a time to see which one might be damaged.
@@Loaded0 my old ram works good, and I can not turn it on even I tried to use one stick for each slot with the Kingston's
Yeah, definitely sounds like you got a bad set. You should get a refund or a replacement for them.
@@Loaded0 I found out from the dell website, there are few people also bought the Fury ram and also can not turn on the laptop. so, it might be the bios not supporting. and few commends said needs cl22 one. But I do not really understand it.
Hmm that’s weird. Sounds like it’s a known issue then. The ram I used is CL20 though. It’s also Kingston but HyperX ram instead. I’ve read they changed the name to Fury now. Either way, sounds like you might have to get different ram.
I wonder if it can handle 64gb DDR4 (2X32) 3200MHZ
It says 32 as the max in official documentation, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it worked with 64.
And 1Rx8 means what versus 1Rx16?
Basically more memory bandwidth with the x8 makes it faster.
How to anable XMP? My memory has this option.
No support for XMP unfortunately. If you want the full 3200mhz speed you’ll need ram that’s setup that way without xmp.
@@Loaded0 i'm sad..
Yeah too many ram standards. If you buy another make sure to read reviews or comments. Usually they’ll say if it runs 3200mhz or not for Ryzen laptops.
I want to buy a 16GB ram variant. Is this a bad idea? I mean quality of Dell ram is bad? May I buy the 8GB ram variant of dell g15 and then upgrade it later to 16GB ram (buy some good company Ram of 16GB)? Or is it ok to buy a 16GB Ram variant laptop?
It’s not really Dell ram that’s bad. It’s this specific Samsung ram and a lot of companies are using them. Yes, buying 8GB then upgrading is always possible, but even if you get the 16GB it’s not that much of a difference. Games still run very well.
How to turn off optimus?
In the bios there’s a setting for hybrid graphics. Set that to off.
Hey bro, I have the Dell 3579 and have upgraded its RAM to 16gb aswell. I have been fiddling around with the Dell system for years so I have a suggestion that may help you with your new ram kit. It may be moreso a problem with Windows 10, from experience it doesnt empty standby memory very well. This video explains how to create a small script that will allow your ram to perform to its full potential with room for adjustment, if you need. ruclips.net/video/offcMVAabLI/видео.html I would love to see a comparison video with this script installed, if you ever felt it worthwhile. Cheers.
Thanks for the info. I haven’t noticed any RAM issues, but I’ll see if standby memory is being used up by windows 11.
Wish you had done timespy score before and after. Can you post your current timespy score to this comment?
I think Timespy primarily tests GPU so the ram shouldn’t change the results much. I stole this number from Jarrod’s Tech, but he got 8,876.
@@Loaded0 Nope, it test gpu and cpu. If you could run it and post your scores id really appreciate it.
I got 8,994
@@Loaded0 Thank you! i am interested in your CPU score specifically rather than overall score. When you have time can you let me know?
Sure, it was 9498
I beleive the g15 5515 already has ram with 3200mhz
Yes, it does. It comes with 3200mhz CL22 1Rx16 ram. This was more to compare it to CL20 1Rx8 ram.
I will be receiving my 5515 with Ryzen 7 and 3050 ti in the next few days. On the best buy website in the specifications it says it has 8 gb of ram. Are they incorrect? I looked on crucial website and couldn’t find compatible ram.
Most of the 3050 models come with 8GB of ram.
see mine only has 1 stick of 8gb ram so i NEED to install 2 8gb sticks
single channel shouldn't even be a thing in 2023 or 2022 when this was made
Companies try to save money this way then pass it off as offering more choice for the consumer. While it’s not ideal, I think it’s better than offering 8gb with two 4gb ram sticks though. Most people will just buy an extra 8gb to upgrade later. The timings might not be the same, but it’s cheaper than buying a 16gb kit.
rule of thumb i learned over the years... it is pointless to upgrade ram unless one of your ram sticks have issues like making read errors constantly.
cause most of the time ram performance have nothing to do with the Final clock speed... it has to do with Ratio / fsb clock on your processor.
1 ratio is base of the fsb and clock cycle of your ram
2nd ratio is the final clock speed and its ram timmings.
agressive timming might be interesting but will induce more stress on other chips. and if using them for a long period of time this can increase the likelyness of bad memory sync.
lower timmings are stable, but you can drasticly change performance if not at the right ratio.
a 2400 mhz ram with perfect ratios can perform better then a 3200 mhz with loose ratio.
Haha this kind of went over my head, but I believe you. These Samsung ram have become a bit infamous though because they’re so prevalent lately in laptops. Apparently in this case it’s not really the timings, but a bandwidth issue creating a bit of a bottleneck for CPUs.
What will happen if you use 1 x8 and another x16 ram? Will it cause any problems? Currently there's 1 8gb x16 ram pre installed in my laptop and i got another 8gb x8 one so will it be compatible?
you can match 8 gb with 16 gb ram it will run it as maximum memory of 24 gigs and speed is gona match the slowest bracket.
But it's written chassis ....🙄
Yeah English is hard. I’m a good speller, but that probably makes me bad with pronunciation.
@@Loaded0 chassis is a French word
Why don't u just play newer games that most people are more likely to play?
I just don't buy the newest games and I don't have the same tastes as the core gaming audience. I know I would probably get better view counts and stuff if I did, but I'm just playing what i have installed at the moment. For this type of video though I think it gets the point across.
