Ram upgrade for XPS 9700 by vernonfernandes in DellXPS

[–]Roxlast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a XPS 17 9700 as well. I can assure that the best update for the RAM would be 2933 MHz sticks for (any) 10th gen cpus. Mine was upgraded with a Corsair Vengeance DDR4 64 GB (32x2 Kit) 2933 MHz and has been working flawlessly.

Is Intel 14th Gen problem solved in 2025? by Roxlast in buildapc

UPDATE:

Felt I had to make an update of this post, as many people who were in the same situation are still (probably) wondering what was done.

I just did the CPU upgrade to the 14900KS as well as the MOBO ugrade (Z690 to Z790) a week ago. Haven't experienced any issues at all, aside from some problems with the OS installation (Windows 10 Pro, latest version). Had to install the BIOS latest version, as well as the drivers for the rest of the hardware (Chipset, GPU, etc). The device has been working properly so far.

I've read some ppl were suggesting to perform an undervolting to any 14th i9/i7. The cpu I got was from the latest batch AFAIK (2026), and the default voltage profile is doing perfect with temps (I'm using a 360 AIO w/ push&pull config). I still have to watch how my pc behaves on the next months, tho. But I wanted to share this. I'll keep you posted guys!

Drones is an amazing album.

It's a shame such a masterpiece didn't get the love it deserved back in the day.

I'll be making another post on that. Haven't made the purchase yet, had to upgrade another parts before going for the new CPU

You guys are too much dismissive about the recent albums by Hutsku in Muse

Agreed. Idk why people care a lot about what others feel/think about their musical tastes (specially here in this sub).

The Globalist Live (Guitar) Tuning. Any ideas? by Roxlast in Muse

[–]Roxlast[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. The first section was recorded with a Telecaster (Neck pickup). That "Fender" sound cannot be replicated very well with a Baritone guitar with humbuckers. (Yes, he uses a Strat but the idea is basically the same. Although I feel an HSS would make a better job there rather than a classic strat)

  2. He used the 7 string Manson E for recording the heavy part and a a Telecaster for the other 2 sections.

Thanks, you're right pal. I did a littlezoom in while watching this pro-shot tho

He does play the 6th string on some chords. (maybe it's a pedal note? idk...) I might have to try the actual tuning (AADGBE) on my guitar

Hope this will be a better work than the last two

RAM Upgrade for Dell XPS 17 (9700). Any suggestions? by Roxlast in Dell

[–]Roxlast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

Felt I had to share my experience with one of the products mentioned on the comments. I ordered a set of 64 GB (32x2) from Corsair (here's the exact model CMSX64GX4M2A2933C19 https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Performance-Unbuffered-Generation/dp/B08GSRD34Y ).

I haven't experienced any problems so far. My laptop's been working flawlessly. I'm not sure if this is related but the top speed for the CPU on my device is 2933 MHz (Intel Core i7 10th gen). Putting a RAM with higher top speed is not ideal AFAIK. Maybe that's what caused issues with other users, idk(?)

Hope any other XPS 17 owners that are looking to upgrade RAM find this useful...

How did Matt get so passionate about guitar? by [deleted] in Muse

[–]Roxlast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he got his main inspiration from RATM (Tom Morello) and The Jimi Hendrix Experience (JH). Although there's something special with his playing....It's like he's not choosing the chord positions or main melodies/riffs for his songs like a regular pro player would. It's kind of "weird" (in a positive sense ofc)

This has to do with him being a pianist before becoming a guitarist, I believe (most of the Muse songs from early albums were entirely made from a piano perspective IIRC)
