Adding RAM to G75

[razielleonhart]

ok i got the ASUS G75JT with the 16gb of ram is it really worth it for me to buy 16gb more of ram and throw in this laptop

whether it is worth it or not, the answer actually depends on usage. for general use and gaming, 16gb is usually good enough imo.

however, if you use ram for system optimizations, e.g. ramdisk and ram-based caching, then the more the merrier.

is there a way to verify if 1866Mhz modules is running as low voltage or not? I tried many progs but none was really saying this detail, only that memory modules have both profiles. (g75vx)

Would this fit in my G75 as full replacement:

and would be the better timings 9/9/9/9 improve performance?

i thought hwinfo does state the voltage for your ram at the system summary page.

the kit should work fine. previously i ran crucial ballistix sport 1.35v 4x8gb.

as for the question about ram timings, to be honest there is no significant improvements that you can observe in real world use. the only practical upgrade in a computer that makes a difference is the replacement of hdd with ssd as boot/app/game drive.

no, I could not find it in hwinfo. Probably I was thinking that there is no sensor there, like cpu voltage. In any case I think my montherboar is not compatible with 1866L, and probably it is working with 1,5V

the far right number in orange box is the voltage (1.5V). that's weird. can you capture a screen shot of hwinfo64 on your computer?

for cpu-z, it's something like below:

[Konstantin77]

of course I can but there is no point in doing so, because in these tables, all the supported modes are displayed. Thus, my memory that supports 1866 in both 1.35V and 1.5V both are displayed and there is not any clue which is the one that is actually preferred.

here it is:

ah now i got your meanings. sorry i didn't look closely enough because previously i referred to a set of ram without xmp profiles. this one i am not really sure how to look it up with software. you're right that hwinfo64 and cpu-z only show all supported modes. they never reported the exact mode that the system is currently running at.

however, my best guess is that the choice depends on the system. if the system supports 1.35V profile, it will pick that and run at 1.35V. if it's not, 1.5V.
