I've a support case where I was requested to upgrade a X301 with some RAM, price was a big issue, so I found some Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1600C11, 2x4gb modules, and ordered them. The client then proceeds to install them himself and gets the beepcode 1 long followed by 3 short, which indicates something wrong with DIMM or systemboard.
Now, I haven't been able to find any information that there should be a problem with installing 1600mhz 4gb modules in the X301. Is there a problem here? I haven't had a chance to get my own hands on the machine yet, so I sadly can't say if there's any fumbling with the installation. But I'd just like to hear if anyone has got any experience with upgrading RAM beyond base specs in this and how it handles clocking them down...
I'll get back when I have more info.
Thank you in advance for any insight you might offer
