Hmm. I can't tell which of my RAM sticks is the bad one. Ran memtest over night with both in and memtest reported no errors, although I have many bsods after cold booting. Anyways, I booted into one and ran windows memory diagnostic (not as accurate as memtest I'll wager, although just a basic test) and it couldn't find anything on either stick.

Should I run memtest while being on one stick?
[Off-topic] AtoZ0to9:
Try running the computer in normal operation with just one stick... If you blue screen, do it with the other... If you blue screen, possibly it's not the RAM...

To bad. Tempting but I can't justify that to myself.

That would take longer than doing a memtest on each stick as I sometimes don't even have any bsods past morning. If memtest finds nothing ill just wait until my new ram comes (monday), plug those in and rma this kit.

I'm quite happy with it. Temps are in the low 60's MAX when gaming on my i5 3570k @ 4.4. Usually in the 50's. The stock cooler got hotter with stock frequency as I recall.

Yeah I know. I am just too impatient because it's Friday and my RAM comes Monday.

EDIT; By the way, as per a recommendation from a guy on Corsair forums, I gave my voltage a slight bump from 1.5 to 1.55 (well, 1.56 for me) to see how it handles that. 1.5-1.575 is a reasonable limit for Ivy's, I've read.
[Off-topic] Theshawty:

What does xmp do with ram? My ram supports xmb and i enabled it, and set the settings as follows from corsair then upped the voltage slightly from 1.5V to 1.56V. Gonna see tomorrow after a cold boot how many bsods i get

Upping the voltage a bit should make things a bit more stable.
[Off-topic] shimp208:
X.M.P allows the RAM to run at the safest highest manufacturer predefined O.C level so you don't have to figure out what the values should be, obviously you can O.C beyond the X.M.P profiles but this can take some tweaking and know how, and patience with stability testing. Also check out this guide by corsair for understanding X.M.P profiles and memory. Also upping the voltages won't necessarily making things stabler, honestly I would try to sit tight and wait for your replacements before you drive yourself crazy, I know it's hard man we all have been there :cool: :good:.

What model laptop are you looking for Windows 8 graphics drivers for? Windows 8 just came out it will take time for manufactures to update there drivers to be compatible with Windows 8.

[Off-topic] Felimenta97:
So, as a future reference: (W8 still isn't fully working, with adb, Flashtool and etc. not yet set)

I am now currently dual booting Windows 8 and Windows 7.

The first is on a 100 Gb partition I created for it. The second one is on the main partition, which now has 634 Gb. I also have another partition with 195 Gb for Media (is filled already).

I want, in the future, to delete Windows 7, remove about 30 Gb or so from the W8 partition, and all of that to the Media one (making the W8 one have about 70 Gb.)

There are two problems:

The first one I already read a little, which would be delete the W7 partition, and change the boot thing to boot directly to W8.

The second one is: To do the first one, it is requiring that I format the 634 Gb partition and integrate it into the Media one. However, I have just too many files on it (not programs neither Windows itself related, but my files, 143 Gb into Users folder.) What would the best way of: Transfering all those file to my another partition, formatting Windows 7 and integrating all those partitions into one? (And making it the Default for, basically everything).

Actually, no. As I said, my USB ports are all first gen, so copying 300 Gb is going to take ages. The problem is my little brother (who constantly plays his games on his W8 account we set up for him) and the house cleaner, were she can accidentally disconnect the USB or power cable of the external.

The thing is: I won't start over. Too much work. I SIMPLY HATE setting up the apps, contacts and etc when I change ROMS on my phone, now scale that to a much bigger quantity of information.

Your idea is good. I like it, but isn't viable for my situation right now.

The idea was remove W7 (preferably without full partition wipe) and merge the two partitions, and set it up for all data (except programs and apps, off course).

Now - to start with I know here is not the right place but it is the only place I have been in for long enough to know the people know what they are doing. So I need a very portable and in the same time very powerful laptop - so stopped my attention on vaio duo 11. The question i have is - it comes with several options:

i3-3217U, 1.8GHz

i5-3317U, 1.7GHz

i7-3517U, 1.9GHz

i3 is not the option for me - however I`ve been reading and stuff and still cant decide is there any significent difference between the i5 and i7 - looks like they have the same socket => same architecture and not so much difference in clock - actually the i7 even has worse bus ratio.

So again sorry - i know the question is not for here - but can anyone help with the decision for which one - and do you think i7 is worth the 200£.
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
Depends on if you want better graphics performance or would rather save money. There probably won't be a "huge" difference but there might be some differences if you regularly push your processor to it's limits (2.6ghz vs 3ghz turbo).

Always take your needs into account before you sweat the cost, better to go a little over and have what you actually "need" than skimp and not be happy with it.
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
Read THIS: http://www.cnet.com/laptops/sony-vaio-duo-11/4505-3121_7-35477656.html Before you buy it. The Vaio 11 comes off really bad.

Depends on what you intent to use it for. If it's in any way for gaming, rendering, photoshopping or anything graphically heavy, Get something ELSE. This houses an Intel videocard. (the HD 4000, specifically) Those are NOT for heavy graphic use. Integrated Videocards are NEVER for gaming. (Most newer games are incompatible with Intel GPU's!):

If you use it graphically, the GPU will bottleneck the device to an i3's level, because it shares the CPU and RAM, and thus slows the device down by at least half.

In general, the easiest way to decide independent of the GPU is this:

Heavy Gaming (Highest graphics, heaviest games), Montage, 3D Rendering? i7, without a second thought.

Light Gaming, Photoshop, regular use, watching films? i5 will suffice.

(I do not count casual games as Games. By heavy I mean Mass Effect 3, AC3, the sort. By lighter gaming I refer to RCT, Settlers, Anno, older games and the sort, or if you can settle for medium instead of ultra graphics. Casual games are Angry Birds, Farmville, any Bigfish game and Minecraft.

Let's put it this way: Skyrim: i7: High. i5: medium. Of course it also depends highly upon the videocard, but this is hypothetically. Unless you get an Intel videocard. Then you can just get an i3, because the GPU limits the CPU to an i3 anyway. I can't stress this enough, people always keep falling for the shop-salespitch and come home cheated, then proceed to complain about it to tech support, even though we warned them..)
[Off-topic] mishooo:
Thanks for the answer - well I`m not going to use it for gaming at all - first because i play like 2 games and both of them are from the 90`s and second if i wanted to game I`ll buy a desktop. The laptop is going to be used for scientific purposes - we do have quite powerful server with 2xXeons and stuff but sometimes i just need to run something quickly on the go (and really stressing to be on the go - thats the reason i need portable device) - meaning like mathematika code which takes about 1-2 hours to solve. So not for gaming but for actual work.

As previously mentioned by Felimenta97 it should run but with some lag, the minimum specs recommended for Windows 8 32-bit (Which I would also recommend based on your specs) is "1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) processor, 1 GB RAM (32-bit),16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit),

and DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver". You meet the minimum specs with the 2.00 Ghz dual core processor that you have and 1.43 GB (Are you sure it's not 2 GB or 1.5 GB that is actually physically installed in your system?) of RAM so you should be all set. Microsoft's utility tends to be a poor judge of what is powerful enough to run various versions of Windows. They set there recommended specs at one thing and then when you go to run the utility on a computer that supposedly "meets the minimum requirements" it will tell you it's not compatible or powerful enough. But when you do get around to installing Windows 8 check out this great Windows 8 tip guide. Hope this helps :).
