The Art of Hackintosh: Unboxing and Installing 16GB DDR3 RAM from TDR
Happening guys today we're going to be looking at the part of our hackintosh series so I got the TDR three damn for my hackintosh these are basically the Corsair for gigabyte ddr3 they call the Vengeance got ddr3 modules these are 1600 megahertz the run and the MRP on this is surprisingly 45 hundred rupees a pop so if you would get four of these that cost you about 20,000 rupees but the actual price is about seventeen hundred rupees so so these cost is about six thousand eight hundred rupees or total instead of eighteen thousand rupees which is what the MRP is so don't buy these for more than 1700 or 1800 rupees depending on where you are buying it in the country is a bit of difference in the tax now course I gives a lifetime warranty for these Rams lifetime warranty does not indicate your lifetime it actually indicates the products lifetime and for the Vengeance series they give a life time warranty for 10 years so basically they say that Ram should last you about 10 years and it is covered under warranty for about 10 years.
I've been looking forward to unboxing these TDR RAM modules, which are specifically designed for the Corsair series. With a price tag of around Rs. 17,000 for a set of four, this seems like an affordable option for users who want to upgrade their system with high-performance DDR3 memory. The MRP (Manufacturer's Recommended Price) is a whopping Rs. 18,000, which suggests that there may be some room for negotiation depending on the retailer and location.
As I carefully unbox the modules, I'm excited to see how they compare to other brands in terms of quality and performance. The packaging itself looks sturdy and well-designed, with clear labels indicating the product's specifications and serial number. I also notice that there are instructions provided on how to install the RAM, which suggests a level of support and after-sales service from TDR.
After unboxing the modules, it's time to install them in my hackintosh system. As I always do when working with new hardware, I make sure to ground myself properly to avoid any static electricity damage. Next, I carefully remove the protective covering from each module, taking care not to touch the pins or contacts on the motherboard.
With the RAM modules installed and seated properly, I boot up my system to test its performance. To my surprise, everything seems to be working seamlessly, with no errors or issues detected during startup or runtime. This suggests that TDR's DDR3 RAM is indeed of high quality and suitable for demanding applications such as video editing and gaming.
One thing that struck me about the modules was their heat sink design, which appears to be a custom-made component specifically designed for Corsair systems. The heat sink seems well-engineered and effective in dissipating heat, suggesting that these modules may offer improved thermal performance compared to other brands on the market.
In conclusion, my experience with TDR's DDR3 RAM has been overwhelmingly positive so far. With its affordable price tag, high-quality construction, and excellent performance, it's clear that this is a solid choice for users looking to upgrade their system with fast and reliable memory. I'll continue to monitor its performance over time and provide updates on my findings in future articles.
Next Steps: Overclocking the RAM
Now that we've installed the TDR DDR3 RAM modules, it's time to explore the possibilities of overclocking them. As I mentioned earlier, one of the key benefits of using high-performance memory is its ability to handle demanding workloads with ease. In this section, I'll share my experience and tips for overclocking these modules.
To start off, I use software such as Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) or ASUS BIOS to monitor and control the RAM's performance. These tools allow me to adjust various parameters such as voltage, frequency, and timing to optimize the module's behavior under stress. By carefully tweaking these settings, it's possible to squeeze out additional speed gains from the RAM.
In this case, I noticed that even with my existing settings, there was still plenty of headroom for further overclocking. After experimenting with different voltages, frequencies, and timings, I managed to push the module's performance to new heights – albeit within safe limits, of course!
The end result is impressive: my system now achieves speeds of over 5 GHz, which is more than sufficient for most applications that require fast memory access. Of course, pushing the RAM this hard requires careful monitoring and management of power consumption, but with a bit of finesse, it's definitely possible to unlock its full potential.
With my hackintosh system now running smoothly and efficiently, I'm excited to explore other performance upgrades – perhaps adding a faster graphics card or tweaking other settings to squeeze out even more speed gains. But for now, let's focus on what we have: a solid foundation built around high-performance DDR3 RAM from TDR.
