    Great scores bro :vbthumbsup:. I'm on My phone and not easy to find your old score. Can you put up your best scores with your older ram vs new in a table?
    And if I understand you correctly... Do you need to use custom profile?

    3Ghz RAM is the sweet spot for tight spots of CPU bottlenecking. Although one will need Titan X or higher performance to see that.

    I noticed the CPU was overclocked a bit more on the upgraded 3000Mhz bench in your previous post from earlier today. Do you have a version of that one with the exact same CPU clocks for a proper comparison? Maybe it makes no difference but it helps for a true apples to apples comparison.

    good catch, the current overclock is 100 MHz. faster

    Let me downclock by 100 MHz and bench the current RAM again for an apples to apples comparison

    Can you please test XMP Profile No. 2 new ram vs old OC'd ram with the same OC on processor and ram. This will be more correct. Only if you bother to do it. Thanks

    nope, the moment I choose XMP Profile 2, it changes automatically to XMP Profile 1 instantly

    I don't know what Mr. @Prema has to say about this because Mr. Fox was able to choose XMP Profile 2 using the same RAM :rolleyes:

    I do not think there will be the big performance difference between old 2800 Ram OC'd to 3000 with stock timings 18-18-18-43 vs new 3000MHz ram who have the same timings in XMP Profile No. 2
    New ram is stable vs old OC'd ram is probably the difference with same speed.

    That is indeed weird. Ill have to check this out once i get my modules, which i doubt is going to be anytime before this weekend, barely getting anytime to go to HID's office. :(
    But could it be a conspiracy that Mr. Fox has a newer beta BIOS!!? :eek:

    But the main thing i want to see if we can push these modules to 3200 or 3300 Mhz.

    no other explanation since this is the same symptom I encouontered with both the 2800 MHz. and 3000 MHz. RAM

    In fact, when I asked @Prema how to run the RAM at the rated speed, his advice was to set it to XMP Profile 2 but that's when I realized it auto switches to XMP Profile 1 instantly, like you choose XMP Profile 2 but it gets set to 1 right away

    The new 16-18-18-43 3000Mhz is way faster than the old 18-18-18-43 2800Mhz from your pictures even at 18-18-18-43 3000Mhz.

    oh this is BS! Everytime I buy a new kit, within 1 week they announce something faster! Screw this marketing BS they do! They aren't releasing all the speeds in one shot to have poor people like me bite the bait and keep upgrading!

    Ehh lol. I dont plan on eating RAM modules for breakfast :p

    But yeah ill just OC the 3000Mhz ones to 3200Ghz. The difference is minimal as it is.
    Also i have a kit of 64GB 2800Mhz coming in, so if the 2800 OCd to 3000Mhz performs close to the 3000Mhz to stock (if they dont OC well), ill keep the 2800 and sell of the 3000.

    Thanks for the heads up though.

    What do you do with so many modules btw. ?

    well I will post the 2800 MHz 64GB Kit soon for sale after I take a pic of them with my forums username next to it.

    Then when I receive the 3200 MHz. kit I will sell the 3000 MHz.

    Selling only to reputable members though no newbies will be entertained.

    They are all in brand new condition barely used.

    From my testing of overclocking, even though overclocking the 2800 MHz to 3000 Mhz. kit was stable in every benchmark and stress test. I was getting weird explorer.exe crashes left and right and weird Windows behavior. Never overclocking RAM again.

    If you remember, I used to always say that I overclocked my Samsung 2133 MHz to 2400 MHz and again, it was fine in benchmarks, but if I would play a game, after like 10 mins of gameplay, the FPS dips to 4 or 5 FPS and it becomes unplayable until I reboot. Remove the RAM overclock and everything is fine.

    Screw RAM overclocking, it's a very sensitive area and the last thing you want is some unknown background errors which may lead to data corruption or loss.

    Yeah OC'ing is always hit or miss. Let me know how soon you will be putting up the 2800Mhz for sale. I might take 32 Gigs out of it or the 64 Gigs if you dont want to split.

    My current Hynix 2133 Mhz kit is running great @ 2400Mhz @ CL14

    negative, @bloodhawk already reserved the entire 64GB 2800 MHz kit and I gave him my word to keep it for him until he is ready to buy it.

    We are a family and we ride on the P870DM bandwagon.

    I will post the 3000 MHz for sale within a couple of months or as soon as I receive the 3200 MHz. 64GB Kit. You get to enjoy faster/cheaper RAM at a discounted price and in brand new condition :)

    PS: as I told bloodhawk, at this day and age, I would never accept a system with less than 64GB of RAM. The Windows Superfetch service will use as much as you give it to cache your apps into RAM, so the more, the better.

    That was one of the stupidest and debunked SSD Tweak Myths since they said, because an SSD is very fast, there is no need to use your precious RAM for caching. Maybe on an 8GB RAM system, but now that we have 32GB and 64GB RAM, who cares, use all you want in exchange for more OS/program snappiness.

    [​IMG]

    basically, think of it this way, if you have 32 or 64GB RAM, your OS / apps might use up to 4-16GB on average, then what is the other RAM doing nothing for? why did you buy that much RAM if you want it to sit idle doing nothing?

    What about my 16GB flimsy 2133? :eek: I want better one but Norway is a junky thrash place to be if you want better one. I have to sit and see your nice ram benchmark and can't do much. I hope this will change!! :rolleyes: 32GB 2800/3000 or 3200MHz set would be appropriate for my flimsy wallet. For that one, I still need to ask my wife very nice to buy them :D maybe a kiss now and then help? :rolleyes: :D

    on the HIDevolution page for your laptop model, they list 2666MHz as the max supported speed. I cannot answer for sure if they will work or not since I don't have your laptop though.

    Does anyone know if this ram will work with the factory bios of the P775DM3-G? Or Prema bios is needed for 3000 mhz cl16?

    It should support up to 3000mhz out of the box as per Clevo's website :)

    Need to enable XMP profile from BIOS.

    Stock BIOS has no opiton for selecting any RAM speed and is limited to 2400MHz. Prema BIOS allows you to choose XMP Profile 1 which will make the RAM run at its rated speed. Furthermore, only the P870DM supports 2800 and 3000 MHz RAM the P775DM and other models are limited to a max of 2666 MHz Otherwise they wont even POST with a faster memory ratio setting
