Hello, I recently got my RB15 with a 2080MQ and I am loving it so far. However, I notice that I am CPU limited in some of the games I play, most notably TF2 and old versions of Minecraft. I am looking to also upgrade to 32GB of RAM as well, so finding the fastest RAM with the lowest timings possible would be nice (CL19 2666mhz is no bueno). I know that this laptop supposedly supports XMP profiles, so I want to get a set of RAM that will work with the laptop. I have seen conflicting information on if 3200Mhz RAM works or not for this model. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, or if I need to do trial and error.
Thanks,
DarkenMoon

Buy this. Stuff it in there. If it doesn't work, tell amazon that, and get a free refund.
3200mhz sodimms feel like they're still pretty new, so as you said, information is not super clear on the matter. Perhaps you could report your findings to the owners lounge afterwards?
it's worth noting that getting low timings on laptop memory isn't really a thing afiak ... and 3200mhz at CL20 isn't gonna be much better than 2666@19 (Though I am sure it IS better, but likely by a marginal amount). And based on how my RB2018 Base model works with ram, the XMP profiles you speak of are likely baked into the bios and applied automatically based on the RAM inserted. Aka it's a marketing buz thing for them to claim it supports XMP, where in reality, all it does is sets the ram to the detected factory speed and timing and they are calling that XMP, instead of giving you the option to actually overclock the ram.DarkenMoon and rb6freak like this. -

Which Rams did you buy?
I am thinking about a Kit with at least 3000mhz cl16 but After Reading that I think Dual Rank design should be focused.
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ddr4-sodimm-notebook-memory-roundup-review,5454-4.html
It seems like Dual Rank is having a higher impact on Gaming Performance then MHz an CL.
But Information about Rank is quite rare... -
After Reading some conversations about the ram thing, it seems like getting Dual Rank is more or less a lottery thing.
I think Kingston and Crucial are providing Info about Rank. -
I ultimately did get 3200mhz Ram, but it apparently isn't as stable as a thought. It was good at first, or so I thought. I randomly started running into issues where applications would crash to desktop and the occasional bluescreen. Setting the ram back to 2400mhz made the stability issues go away. But since I stripped my screws getting the bottom back on, I need to get new screws and find a way to get the old ones out, and then return the ram and get 2666mhz ram with the lowest timings possible. Oh well, live and learn I guess. It's disappointing since I really want the best single threaded performance possible, in a laptop.

I really just want to enable XMP
Would doing something like this help? https://lukegb.com/posts/2016-11-11-secure-boot-shenanigans/Last edited: Oct 31, 2019 -
I have extracted the Key Management from the bios, and see the Suppress If Strings. How would I change these so i can repack it in to the ROM and flash it to attempt to surface those options?

I tried the AMIBCP edit method, and it didn't work for me...but maybe i missed something. I'll let you take a crack at it.

Now the question becomes, "can we use this method to unlock custom memory profiles in the BIOS?"Last edited: Nov 8, 2019 -

I'm glad this intrigued someone, as I am not a coder...I don't know much more past some mod scripting and 3d art stuff. -
I've got the RB15 advanced mid 2019 BIOS allowing selection of default, custom, xmp1, and xmp2 profiles for memory. My chips don't have xmp profiles, so can't guarantee these work. The custom profile, however, does work and sticks after boot. So far I've only tested that decreasing the multiplier decreased my frequency appropriately.
