In this video I am upgrading the hard drive and ram on my budget friendly laptop. As I mentioned in the video, this is not for beginners or novices. Link to the Drivers: j.mp Intel Mobile H70 Chipset: j.mp Links: RAM UPDATE: The Komputerbay RAM modules gave me problems so I do not recommend it for now until I get another set to try out. I could have just had bad sticks. For now here are links to a higher quality RAM chip by Corsair: 8GB j.mp Corsair Vengence 8GB j.mp Anti-Static Mat: j.mp Hard Drives: 500GB Momentus XT: j.mp 750GB moentus XT: j.mp OCZ 256GB SSD Aglility 3 j.mp SAMSUNG 830 Series 256GB SSD: j.mp Portable DVD Drive: j.mp

Boomps, boomps, boomps, boomps…. Here’s a review (… sort of) of an ordered system from Ironside Computers. # 1832 – youtu.be Pls. watch in PC to see my additional (annoying) annotations. ***** LATEST UPDATE (10/21/12) Here are the usual Heaven Benchmark 3.0 settings i use (to prevent confusion) API: Directx 11 Tessellation: Normal Shaders: High Anisotropy: 4x Stereo 3D: Disabled Anti-aliasing: 4x Resolution: System (1920×1080) UPDATES (latest @ 09/22/12): 1. Updated BIOS from ver. 0801 to ver. 1015, which meant i had to do my own overclocking. The P8Z77-V Deluxe motherboard (BIOS ver. 1015 with ASUS AI Suite II now installed in OS) has awesome auto-overclocking features which is handy because i’m not an expert overclocker. (They call it “Auto Tuning”.) Unigine Heaven benchmark somehow got an increase form 70 FPS to 80 FPS- and i didn’t even touch the GTX 680 yet. 1a.) I redid the overclock to use the Corsair DOminator GT’s XMP profile. This makes use of the real 2133 MHz speed of it. Voltages are automated with it’s XMP profile. All i had to do is increase multiplier to get CPU to 4.2 GHz and up. Windows also now recognizes the full 8 GB of the memory, not the 7.9 GB when it arrived. The ASUS’s Auto-tuning overclock is nice but it will adjust memory speed if necessary. But honestly though, i don’t see much difference yet between 19xx MHz and 2133 MHz memory speed. 2. *I confirmed that the USB 3.0 problem i was having is only for that one specific external hard drive …

Disappearing RAM issues fixed with this simple BIOS adjustment. Change the Row Refresh Cycle Timing to 100 clocks, or sometimes called Reference Cycle Timing. Let me know if you would like to see a review of the Corsair Vengeance 24GB X58 triple channel memory kit. Thanks!
