Blade Pro 17- no number pad WHY ?

I actually disagree It's one reason why I chose the Blade Pro vs other 17" laptops the number pad is hardly ever used, but I type all the time. a keyboard with a number pad on a laptop means that your typing position is forced unnaturally to the left, instead of being directly in the middle, facing the screen. Razer is correct to not have a number pad. If you really need a number pad there are external USB number pads available.

Who has stable 64GB experiences on their Razer Blades (any model)?

TurboTachoThe RAM shown in CPU-Z is indicated as single data rate speeds. DDR stands for Double Data Rate, hence the actual speed is twice of the SPD as shown in CPU-Z. ? I know this. That is why in my post that you quoted I said "half of 2933". To repeat: Razer shipped out my blade with 3200 capable memory, but this memory is being run at 2933 and not 3200, and can be seen in my CPU-Z because it is reported in my CPU-Z "Memory" tab as being at half of 2933 (well, currently 1,463.9, though it goes up and down as I watch). What I am saying in my post that you quoted, is that I am agreeing with the "weileong" post that your reply to the "Matthewe79" post, that he is "probably" running at 3200, has no basis, since he did not upload a screenshot of his CPU-Z "Memory" tab, only his "SPD" tabs, which report what the RAM is capable of but is the wrong information for answering his question of what his RAM is actually running at. That is why I said in my post: So for his post, we cann

TurboTachoBased on the screenshot above, I believe you're running 3200MHz on XMP 2.0. I also think this is not correct. I installed CPU-Z on my Razer. Razer shipped my blade with 3200MHz RAM that runs at 2933. On the CPU-ID "SPD" tab it says 3200, but on the "memory" tab it shows the real speed (half of 2933). So for his post, we cannot tell what speed his RAM is actually running at because he only put screenshots of his SPD tab, which shows what speed the RAM is rated for (which is not the same question)

Rogerg_Zapata 2. If so, do I have to buy two ram sticks at the same time? Here what I mean is: The laptop came originally with two ram sticks 2X8GB = 16GB, if I want to upgrade my machine do I have to remove those two sticks or I can just remove 1 and add a new one?

For people looking at RAM, be sure to look at the reviews on the site you're buying from as well - not everyone is aware of or participates in insider.razer.com - I was clicking around and saw this: https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Impact-3200MHz-Memory-HX432S20IBK2-64/dp/B084929MWL/ref=sr_1_3 One of the reviews specifically said it did not work in his 2020 Razer: [INDENT] Snellinator 5.0 out of 5 stars Sadly - not compatible with Razer Blade 17 Pro (2020) Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 3, 2020 Capacity: 64GB Kit (2x32GB)Style: 2933MHzVerified Purchase I cant knock Kingston memory as I now from past experience that it is one of the best. That said, this is not compatible with my Razer laptop (despite updating BIOS and EC to Oct 2020) and so I am returning. Symptoms include screen flicker, black screen and then BSOD followed by multiple failed restarts with many different errors being reported (Win10 OS). When it does run up, task manager does report the 64Gb and 2933 Mhz of

Who has stable 64GB experiences on their Razer Blades (any model)?

thanks for the public-service warning! so it seems they're restricting machines to JEDEC-only timings, with Intel restricting everything to 2933 (makes sense, since on my machine the RAM shipped out by Razer with my laptop is physically 3200MHz but it is running at 2933). I can only conclude that they are unable to get the machines to run it stably at anything higher than 2933... it's good to know the maximum limit I guess. People who want more than the shipped amount of RAM can stick to cheaper RAM modules ... assuming those work!!! I still do not have any brand/make/model of RAM that I'm "certain" will work without problems... The 2021 Razer Blades have one model that ships with 32GB, I wonder what RAM Razer uses with that TurboTachoJust a PSA: I've just noticed the Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2020 model has got a new BIOS update that removes XMP support. My guess is they probably remove the 3200MHz function of your RAM. So it's better not to patch it if you've already purcha

ha1o2surfer96I was banned from posting for some reason. Here is what I have. 2x Samsung 32GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM Memory Module for Laptop Computers (260 Pin SODIMM, 1.2V) M471A4G43MB1 at Amazon.com good to know, thanks! OK, the impression I'm getting is, 64GB of RAM is more likely to be stable with "not bleeding edge" RAM - this could be why HIDEvolution is listing their 64GB custom models with 2666MHz RAM and not 2933MHz RAM. The laptops are also not pushing RAM to 3200MHz by default at least - my machine was shipped with 3200MHz RAM but they are being run at 2933MHz (I have not tried to tweak this).

ha1o2surfer96I have 64GB of 2666 in my 2021 ADV. I had it in my 2020 ADV (2070Super). No issues for the 1 month I've used it in this new model so far! Hi that's great - can you tell us what RAM specifications etc. it is? If you're not sure, can you install cpu-z https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html and tell us what it says about your RAM? If you bought it online, can you post the URL of the part you bought? Separately, any reason why you chose 2666MHz RAM when your machine should be able to support 2933 at least? Thank you

Razer 17 Pro 2020 RAM Upgrade Options

... wow. It does explain all the random problems so many people have had with RAM - basically the laptops are not able to operate per the spec that they said they could. this ... is not acceptable. RocketBoostRayRazer pulled all marketing and support collateral see attached screenshot of what used to be on the site. Support sent me this message followed by offer to appease me with a keyboard and mouse for free.. "We are sorry for the confusion. However, According to the team it has been recently reviewed and confirmed by our engineering team that the Razer Blade Pro 17 does not support XMP. All related articles will be updated and it will be available on our Support Site. " so I am out the cost of RAM cant return it and Razer just says sorry we said it would do something but actually it does not do that.

Drop_bear17 Having said all that, this is the first time that I ever had issues with RAM failure. That's exactly it - I've never encountered any kind of questioning for RAM compatibility for RAM that meets the specs other than for Razer - everything else it's just "ok what spec? alright I'll buy something of whatever brand that meets that spec". it's only with Razer that I've encountered people with RAM that should work but doesn't. good luck on the refund!

dudepare01Running in default. Really weird how RAM is hit and miss with Razer, Lucky it only took me one try and all worked nicely. actually, do we really know if the problem is Razer, or if it's with Kingston? Like, could it be that their manufacturing consistency is quite variable, such that you end up with some modules working with razer, and some modules not, but all of them identified with the same model/part number?

haha! "down the slope" - that's a good way of putting it I don't think I can agree about what you said about system instability being caused by the apps, though - if I understand modern operating system design correctly, all that any "bad app" can do is to crash themselves, they shouldn't be able to bring the entire system down. A badly written app can only cause the app itself to crash, not freeze the whole system. If the system goes down there is either corruption in the OS software (whether the OS itself, or drivers), or a hardware problem. TurboTachoYes I've read through the thread, it's akin to starting off a hill and rolling down the slope. However, I believe the instability is most probably caused by applications or incompatible software. I do heard that some games and applications are extremely sensitive to RAM speeds and clock timings, and may result in system instability. Usually those cases are referred to the developers of the software to fix those problems... I wo

Razer 17 Pro 2020 RAM Upgrade Options

Drop_bear17Hrmm yeah its as if the laptop bricks RAM it doesn't like. Having said that, the initial installation was a breeze. I slot in the new RAM, turn the laptop on, after one cycle of self reset it boots to Windows. I just don't understand why the RAM can just fail after a few days. The only thing I did differently today was to put my laptop to sleep the night before rather than a shutdown. Again this shouldn't brick the RAM but it'll be interesting if other users notice a similar trend. have you tried running memtest86? there is an open source version but even the commercial variant has a free download to create a bootable USB stick: https://www.memtest86.com I use that every time I get new RAM for any machine - I think it's important to know right off if any RAM you get is flagged by memtest86 as problematic. Some times RAM can be marginal and "normal use" may or may not trigger anything, while a few passes of "intensive RAM usage" is better at helping you identify right

This is great info, thanks! OK, one reason why I started this thread itself is that I found an earlier thread about 64GB started by one person, who appears to be using the same RAM as you are: /razer-17-pro-ram-upgrade-hyperx-impact-3200mhz-xmp-does-work-dont-buy-crucial.63951/page-2 He started the thread happy, saying it worked (while Crucial didn't) but then if you read further, he starts reporting problems (crashes, blue screens). See e.g. post 27. So, now, sigh, we have one positive and one negative report about Kingston ... (I am in a country where returns are not easy so I don't really want to "experiment", would like "certainty") Anyways thanks! You've provided a very useful data point! TurboTachoI'm using Kingston HyperX Impact 64GB 3200MHz upgrade kit, consisting of 2x32GB modules. Part number is KHX3200C20S4/32GX, model number HX432S20IBK2/64.

Who has stable 64GB experiences on their Razer Blades (any model)?

Hi! You're exactly the type of person I've been trying to find! Could you identify what RAM you're using - specific brand, name, model/part number? Yours would be the first "known good" 64GB! I see from your sig it's Kingston, but what exact model/P/N is it, could you say? (who knows maybe this thread could become a list of all known-good 64GB RAM?) Don't really need the HWinfo/benchmark info but if you could post it here for everybody it's great too, I'm sure many people would be curious about performance etc.? BTW have you run your memory/system through passes of memtest86, say? Always stable? You've not had unexplained app crashes/bluescreens? TurboTachoHi Threadstarter, I am currently on a 2020 Blade 15 Advanced model. I actually did manage to get my laptop running at 64GB at 1600MHz (DDR4-3200 equivalent). I have a link to my CPU-Z in my signature for you reference if needed. If you need additional information, like HWinfo, UserBenchmark, I'd be happy to provide th

dudepare01HIDevolution are selling Blade pro 2020's with choices of up to 64 GB ram, but there is a catch... The ram only runs 2666 MHz....that could be the answer. https://www.newegg.com/global/qa-en/p/2WC-001W-001G7 Very interesting! Thanks! Yes, that does suggest there's something about the machine that cannot handle RAM of higher speed when driving 64GB - I mean, they would be in a position to test with different brands much better than "end users" like us, and if they can't sell them with faster RAM, that's really saying something ...

Hi, thanks for the suggestion - have searched on the Razer subreddit and found a question asking about 64GB and not getting any good replies either yes I am asking about 2020 Razer blade models - so far nobody has reported successful 64GB usage so not even at the stage of checking model differences. did not know there was BIOS that would lock to 32GB (!!!), why would they do that? I don't really care about the memory speed in that if Razer is shipping it at 2933, I am ok with staying at 2933 and not going up to 3200. what I really want is to find someone who can say "I have 64GB of X brand and Y model and have no problems" - but so far nobody has that, there were a few encouraging posts but they later followed up saying that they started having random crashes, for example. JoikansaiYou want also to check Razer subreddit, it’s apparently also depends on Bios, if it’s locked to 32gb it won’t work, but on some models bios update unlock xpm access to overclock the speed.

Sye_The-VieI am more interested in reaching the 64GB capacity than the clock speed well, that's what I started this thread about, 64GB. I have a different thread about RAM speed, was just responding to your post above where you specified the HyperX memory at 3200MHz, which introduces a second variable to the equation (not just 64GB, but now also 3200MHz instead of the 2933MHz that Razer is "officially" stating their laptops run at). I don't know of any secondary market for mobile CPUs, I don't think the laptops are designed for CPU changes (are the CPUs even socketed, or are they soldered onto the motherboard?) So far I've not found anyone who can say "I have a Razer Blade 2020, and I am running 64GB with no problems, and the memory I am using is whatever-brand-and-model"

Sye_The-Vie@RazerUserNow Do read my later post. I don't think we are on the same wavelength re: what I am saying. Per my earlier post I was saying I'd dig up links - here are 2 examples: see #4: /razer-17-pro-2020-ram-upgrade-options.64991/ see #14: /razer-blade-pro-17-2020-ram-issue.59373/ basically the issue is that even RAM that should be running per spec is blue-screening for some reason. since my RBP is itself shipped with 3200MHz capable RAM that is however being run at 2933 (I posted about it here: /3200mhz-ram-for-razer-blades-2020.68344/ ) and the formal specifications listed by Razer mentions 2933 and not 3200, per these links: https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3200 https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3201 https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3936 there is a genuine question as to the level of support for 3200 RAM the position you are taking is that "if it meets the specs it'll be fine", what I am saying is that th

3200MHz RAM for Razer Blades (2020)

rjkrejciMy Blade Pro 2020 (i7-10875) did ship with 2933 running RAM, but I put 32GB Hyperx 3200 Mhz memory and it is indeed running at the full 3200 Mhz at 1.2V according to CPUID and HWInfo hrm! this is very interesting. I have the same model (Blade Pro 2020 with i7-10875) shipped with 3200MHz RAM running at 2933, which is really odd since that seems to suggest the speed the RAM runs at is not determined by the RAM capability... !

Sye_The-Vie@RazerUserNow Our long time RAZER Insider @FiszPL have shared us a useful web https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/razer/razer-blade-15-(early-2020-base)#memory So for RAZER Blade 2020, 64 GB is compatible, but you need a RAM memory with specific clock speed As per link I have added, you will need 2x 32 GB DDR4-3200MHz PC4-25600 SODIMM Click here for specific type of 32 GB RAM you require The RAM you have mentioned, the clock speed is not listed as compatible (1.2V DDR4 2933MHz SO-DIMMs) thanks for the link do we know if anyone is actually using this RAM? am a little worried because there's this other thread that the Crucial configurator cannot be trusted in terms of compatibility with Razer blades - i.e. it says it will work, and plugging it into the razer, the computer will see the RAM, but as you use it you will get various crashes etc. when you do use it lemme see if I can dig up the link
