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

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:13.519
rest of our community if you could use laptop memory in a desktop system it

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:17.279
turns out you can get adapters unlike ebay

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:23.520
but is that really gonna work only one way to find out

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:26.880
one way to find out one way to find out

00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:32.640
private internet access is the vpn service that encrypts all your internet

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:35.920
traffic and uses a safe protected ip it's got tons of other useful features

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

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

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:48.000
actually called jet and this is their part number you can actually get them in

00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:55.280
a wide variety of different configurations these ones we found on

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:59.039
ebay and are designed for ddr4 sodiums

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:01.840
to a ddr4 full-sized dim now

00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:07.600
you might think to yourself well what's to not work about this i can put

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.159
a micro sd card into a and full size sd

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.439
adapter no one's bewildered and baffled by this

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

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:22.240
sodiums are a 200 contact point standard

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.200
full-size dimms actually have

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:30.080
288 so on here we've got a couple of

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.960
different things we've got whatever the hell a virtual fuse is apparently it's

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

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:44.000
to assume the defaults are fine

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:45.520
all right so let's shut down and

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.439
while i wait for Windows update apparently uh let's talk about the challenge and

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:52.880
show you guys how to install it i already put together one of them but you

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

00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:59.840
in there fully then you put a little bit of tension on

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:05.119
it just like that now

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:08.959
i am actually asking more from the adapter i want to see a couple of things

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:14.800
i want to see if we can get these sticks to run in

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:17.520
quad channel with the existing

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:19.840
3200 megahertz ddr4 that's on this platform

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:24.560
and i want to see if i can get the whole

00:02:22.239 --> 00:02:30.319
thing to still run at 3 200 megahertz because it's one thing if you can

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:36.080
get memory you know working and recognized it's another if this adapter

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:39.360
is not interfering with its performance that looks

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:43.280
ridiculous you know we've had conversations internally about how hard

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.720
it is to build an ugly computer these days now that every motherboard has a

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.440
black pcb and all that kind of stuff but

00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:54.879
bye jove i think we've done it okay

00:02:53.200 --> 00:03:03.200
let's see what happens did we fail already postcode 55. uh well

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.879
then code 55 means no RAM installed

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:09.360
which is fairly discouraging because there

00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.720
definitely is RAM installed even aside

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:14.959
from these uh so dim to dim adapters so

00:03:12.720 --> 00:03:19.080
i'm gonna try reseeding them from the old wiggle wiggle

00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.840
and then firing it up again

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:27.760
balls did you test this before we started filming the video

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:32.720
no okay i'm going to try the memo k button

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:35.940
i've never used it successfully shut up brandon

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.959
okay let's try clear seamos then

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:46.080
come on baby we're gonna try next is pulling out the

00:03:43.440 --> 00:03:48.720
mismatched memory i mean admittedly that was a bit of a long shot in the first

00:03:47.760 --> 00:03:54.879
place okay here we go that's very interesting

00:03:52.959 --> 00:04:00.159
16 gigs of memory let's get it booted up so for fire up

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:03.760
task manager we've got all 16 gigs of

00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:06.159
our memory it knows that they're so dim

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:11.200
so i don't know if it's reading that off the spd chip

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

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:18.160
of knowing okay so we're just finishing up the ida

00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:22.800
64 cache and memory benchmark and there's a couple more interesting things

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:24.960
here we are in fact running in dual

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:31.680
channel mode so that's good but only at stock speeds not the higher

00:04:28.880 --> 00:04:35.680
xmp speeds of our modules and also interesting is that our read and write

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:42.639
numbers look about like you'd expect from ddr4 2133 in dual channel mode this

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:45.680
is weird so our memory is showing up as

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.360
ddr4 2400 megahertz

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:52.000
but i don't know where it's reading that from because

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:55.680
these adapters shouldn't have any logic on them whatsoever

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

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.560
just now i didn't change anything we were at 21.33

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

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.400
not realistic but let's try

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:14.880
sort of high speed like 3000 megahertz and see if we can get

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:18.160
there it's boot looping right now you can tell

00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:24.080
because we keep going through the same sequence of postcodes here

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:29.520
okay let's try something a little less aggressive 26 66 megahertz wouldn't be

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:33.919
like a performance memory kit or anything when this was current but

00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:39.199
like it would be decent middle of the road hey

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

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.080
going from 2133 to 2666

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:50.000
gives us an improvement yes it does

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.680
okay not bad

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:58.160
so you won't be running at the bleeding edge but

00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:04.560
you should expect it to work bringing us to

00:06:01.280 --> 00:06:07.120
what is often the most challenging part

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:11.919
of these kinds of videos where you know it's like yeah you could adapt your

00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:15.360
trailer hitch to a office chair

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:19.199
you can but should you

00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:25.840
so this thing then no one should go out of their way to use

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:30.400
one of these if you've got a desktop you should buy desktop memory and install

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

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.000
other way around because a full-size dim physically wouldn't wouldn't fit in

00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.319
there but i can see situations where they

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

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

00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:56.800
eight gig sticks in them and then you might go okay well i don't

00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:01.280
want 16 gigs i want 32 in order to upgrade it you've got to go

00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:04.960
buy two new 16 gig sticks and then you've got to take out your old

00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:08.160
ones so if you were looking to give those parts a new lease on life

00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:14.319
two jets credit i actually don't even know who makes these things to their credit

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:19.759
these are inexpensive and from our testing while not high performance

00:07:16.880 --> 00:07:24.639
functional so not recommended to need them

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:27.680
but recommended if you need them to go ahead and pick them up

00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:34.720
speaking of going ahead and picking something up why not picking up a

00:07:32.080 --> 00:07:38.720
