Only the ROG Maximus VI Extreme and ASUS Z87 Deluxe are certified with an XMP to run 3,000MHz G.Skill DDR3 (F3-3000C12Q-16GTXDG). This has been validated by Intel itself on its latest QVL publication for 4th gen Core i7 series processors, such as the i7-4770K.

Master overclocker, HIWA, has pushed the tiny Maximus VI Impact mini-ITX board all the way up to 4.2GHz ... on its memory clock!

This is a short guide to show how easy it is to upgrade the G74SX A1 gaming laptop. Normally most laptops require at least a screwdriver to get into them, and even then they'll only give access to a memory upgrade. The G74 is different.

Today we are looking at some new laptop memory by Kingston that takes advantage of some late-specs for Sandybridge chipsets: 1600MHz and 1866MHz memory support. These modules are Plug n Play for i7 Gen 2 systems, tho they should be backwards compatible for earlier systems. For systems using integrated Intel graphic solutions, the gaming perks are quite noticeable. Since the GPU uses system RAM for video, the added speed can generate up to 80% in FPS increases.

The ASUS Rampage III Gene is a small form factor Micro ATX motherboard that packs a powerful punch! This board begs to ask how well a small form factor system can overclock.
