00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,440
today's video was inspired by a post on the forum by ashley ashes who asked the

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:13,519
rest of our community if you could use laptop memory in a desktop system it

3
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:17,279
turns out you can get adapters unlike ebay

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:23,520
but is that really gonna work only one way to find out

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:26,880
one way to find out one way to find out

6
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,640
private internet access is the vpn service that encrypts all your internet

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,920
traffic and uses a safe protected ip it's got tons of other useful features

8
00:00:34,399 --> 00:00:41,040
as well so check it out now at the link below all right so let's start i guess

9
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:44,879
by taking a closer look at these things they're made by i believe the company is

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,000
actually called jet and this is their part number you can actually get them in

11
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:55,280
a wide variety of different configurations these ones we found on

12
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:59,039
ebay and are designed for ddr4 sodiums

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,840
to a ddr4 full-sized dim now

14
00:00:59,039 --> 00:01:07,600
you might think to yourself well what's to not work about this i can put

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:10,159
a micro sd card into a and full size sd

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,439
adapter no one's bewildered and baffled by this

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:20,400
but the reason this is such a big deal is come in and have a closer look

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:22,240
sodiums are a 200 contact point standard

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,200
full-size dimms actually have

20
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,080
288 so on here we've got a couple of

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,960
different things we've got whatever the hell a virtual fuse is apparently it's

22
00:01:32,479 --> 00:01:40,720
patented we've got a jumper i mean there's no manual obviously so i'm going

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:44,000
to assume the defaults are fine

24
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,520
all right so let's shut down and

25
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,439
while i wait for Windows update apparently uh let's talk about the challenge and

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,880
show you guys how to install it i already put together one of them but you

27
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,560
want to kind of go in at an angle like that push it down make sure everything's

28
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:59,840
in there fully then you put a little bit of tension on

29
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:05,119
it just like that now

30
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:08,959
i am actually asking more from the adapter i want to see a couple of things

31
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:14,800
i want to see if we can get these sticks to run in

32
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,520
quad channel with the existing

33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,840
3200 megahertz ddr4 that's on this platform

34
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,560
and i want to see if i can get the whole

35
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:30,319
thing to still run at 3 200 megahertz because it's one thing if you can

36
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:36,080
get memory you know working and recognized it's another if this adapter

37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,360
is not interfering with its performance that looks

38
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:43,280
ridiculous you know we've had conversations internally about how hard

39
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,720
it is to build an ugly computer these days now that every motherboard has a

40
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,440
black pcb and all that kind of stuff but

41
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,879
bye jove i think we've done it okay

42
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:03,200
let's see what happens did we fail already postcode 55. uh well

43
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:04,879
then code 55 means no RAM installed

44
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,360
which is fairly discouraging because there

45
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:12,720
definitely is RAM installed even aside

46
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,959
from these uh so dim to dim adapters so

47
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:19,080
i'm gonna try reseeding them from the old wiggle wiggle

48
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,840
and then firing it up again

49
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,760
balls did you test this before we started filming the video

50
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:32,720
no okay i'm going to try the memo k button

51
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:35,940
i've never used it successfully shut up brandon

52
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:38,959
okay let's try clear seamos then

53
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:46,080
come on baby we're gonna try next is pulling out the

54
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,720
mismatched memory i mean admittedly that was a bit of a long shot in the first

55
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:54,879
place okay here we go that's very interesting

56
00:03:52,959 --> 00:04:00,159
16 gigs of memory let's get it booted up so for fire up

57
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,760
task manager we've got all 16 gigs of

58
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:06,159
our memory it knows that they're so dim

59
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:11,200
so i don't know if it's reading that off the spd chip

60
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:13,519
or if i mean it must be it must be because how would Windows have any way

61
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,160
of knowing okay so we're just finishing up the ida

62
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,800
64 cache and memory benchmark and there's a couple more interesting things

63
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,960
here we are in fact running in dual

64
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:31,680
channel mode so that's good but only at stock speeds not the higher

65
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:35,680
xmp speeds of our modules and also interesting is that our read and write

66
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:42,639
numbers look about like you'd expect from ddr4 2133 in dual channel mode this

67
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,680
is weird so our memory is showing up as

68
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:47,360
ddr4 2400 megahertz

69
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:52,000
but i don't know where it's reading that from because

70
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,680
these adapters shouldn't have any logic on them whatsoever

71
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:59,440
but but there you have it it's set but when we were in the operating system

72
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,560
just now i didn't change anything we were at 21.33

73
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,680
so here's what we're going to do we're not going to try and run at 3800 that's

74
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,400
not realistic but let's try

75
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,880
sort of high speed like 3000 megahertz and see if we can get

76
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,160
there it's boot looping right now you can tell

77
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:24,080
because we keep going through the same sequence of postcodes here

78
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:29,520
okay let's try something a little less aggressive 26 66 megahertz wouldn't be

79
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:33,919
like a performance memory kit or anything when this was current but

80
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:39,199
like it would be decent middle of the road hey

81
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:44,160
there we go all right so this is moment of truth time what we want to see is if

82
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:46,080
going from 2133 to 2666

83
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,000
gives us an improvement yes it does

84
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,680
okay not bad

85
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,160
so you won't be running at the bleeding edge but

86
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:04,560
you should expect it to work bringing us to

87
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:07,120
what is often the most challenging part

88
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:11,919
of these kinds of videos where you know it's like yeah you could adapt your

89
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:15,360
trailer hitch to a office chair

90
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:19,199
you can but should you

91
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:25,840
so this thing then no one should go out of their way to use

92
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:30,400
one of these if you've got a desktop you should buy desktop memory and install

93
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:35,280
desktop memory in it and if you've got a laptop then well there's no adapter the

94
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,000
other way around because a full-size dim physically wouldn't wouldn't fit in

95
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,319
there but i can see situations where they

96
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:46,880
could come in handy like let's say for example that you've got an older laptop

97
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:52,160
that you're looking to upgrade well a lot of them might come with you know two

98
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:56,800
eight gig sticks in them and then you might go okay well i don't

99
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,280
want 16 gigs i want 32 in order to upgrade it you've got to go

100
00:06:58,479 --> 00:07:04,960
buy two new 16 gig sticks and then you've got to take out your old

101
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,160
ones so if you were looking to give those parts a new lease on life

102
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:14,319
two jets credit i actually don't even know who makes these things to their credit

103
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:19,759
these are inexpensive and from our testing while not high performance

104
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:24,639
functional so not recommended to need them

105
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,680
but recommended if you need them to go ahead and pick them up

106
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:34,720
speaking of going ahead and picking something up why not picking up a

107
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,720
subscription to freshbooks freshbooks is the online cloud-based accounting

108
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:43,039

than 30 seconds you can set up online payments to get paid up to four days

111
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:56,000
