    I have a Clevo P150HM with 16Gb (4x4Gb) of Samsung DDR3 1333 RAM.

    The exact part number of the RAM is M471B5273CH0-CH9.

    At the moment it is all running at the fastest JEDEC timings of 1333Mhz @ 9-9-9-25.

    I was hoping to use Thaiphoon Burner to flash it to 1600Mhz @ 11-11-11-28.

    How would I go about this, and what do we think my chances of success are?

    I'm interested in this too. But free version of thaipoon burner can't flash the memory to new speed, one just have to buy a license which costs around 20$ . I think this is too much for a single-use application, what about buying one license among a few of us and sharing it?

    Restart your pc, press F7 before windows kicks in, disable driver signing, hey presto, Thaiphoon works :D

    Bah, just done a bit of digging.

    The Clevo P150HM only supports 1600 RAM in 2 DIMM slots, not all 4.

    As I have 4x4Gb, I'm stuck with 1333.

    Ah well.

    Can review residualvoltage's Samsung THP profiles here. There's a stock 1600Mhz entry. He's overclocked that 1600Mhz ram to run at 2133Mhz.
