    Soldered Ram - Adding a DIMM - Dual Channel?

    Lenovo's answer: Upon checking the specification of your laptop, it has one DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM slot, dual-channel capable. You can additional 16 GB DDR4-2400, any brands will do. Let us know if you have any other concern

    Soldered Ram - Adding a DIMM - Dual Channel?

    CPU-Z Memory tab shows DDR4 8GB Uncore Frequency 1197.6Mhz (so 2400?) CAS 17 I found a Command line that also told me its Samsung RAM. Is there another tool I can use to find out more, or do you think I'm safe to just buy a Samsung 8GB 2400 CAS 17 dimm? Also, I spoke to Lenovo, not too much...

    Soldered Ram - Adding a DIMM - Dual Channel?

    My works laptop is struggling from RAM, so I'm going to upgrade using the spare DIMM slot on the board. Usually, I buy the exact same DIMM that's already running, so it runs dual channel, but this time the memory is soldered. CPU-Z can't get any information on the installed memory, so I'm a...

    New build is running - but Power LED flashing every second

    Hasn't happened since the 26th. Its a bit odd. If it comes back, I'll have a think about opening it up. Now,I did spot something that might be an issue. The RFshield flap has gone INSIDE the HDMI slot (just slipped inside the top instead of sitting outside). But there's no graphics on this...

    New build is running - but Power LED flashing every second

    That's what I thought. Oddly, after a reboot it just went away........... until today. Its flashing once every 2 seconds, which according to the manual is this: B. Power LED flashes slowly after power on, flashing once every 2 seconds (no VGA card or VGA card error) 1. Integrated...

    New build is running - but Power LED flashing every second

    The HDD light comes on and flashes randomly, just like you'd expect - more when its doing something, less when its not. Oddly, after a couple of reboots the issue just went away.

    New build is running - but Power LED flashing every second

    I've tested everything and it seems to be fine. But the blue LED on the power button flashes about once per second (The red HDD light comes and goes as you'd expect) Any idea what it might be? Can't find anything from a google search. Hmm, a couple of reboots and its stopped? Wierd?

    Just on with building my new setup Silverstone FARA H1M PRO case Asus prime b660m-k d4 m-ATX motherboard The case comes with 3 ARBG fans pre-installed. The motherboard only has one chassis fan connector. I thought that the control hub that came with the case would have been the place to...

    First new PC in well over 10 years - MATX build

    Thanks all - seems there was nothing obviously terrible, but a few potential alterations. Ended up buying as-is, and it turned up today. Put most of it together - not excatly smooth sailing since I've not done this for such a long time. Even the CPU installation wasn't simple, and that stock...

    First new PC in well over 10 years - MATX build

    I only just upgraded my laptop to 16Gb, and I can see I rarely even need more than 8. But it could be an upgrade down the line, thanks. Yeah, not a bad idea. It had crossed my mind.
