How to adjust memory speeds in Vivobook Pro i7-8750h
If you manage it from BIOS, that's fine. If not, no problem. The variation would be at most 5%. Running at 2666 would increase heat generation, drain battery faster, and reduce latency for better speed, possibly causing a performance decrease. The RAM is compatible. The Vivobook might not support it. You'll need to check the BIOS settings.
Open BIOS settings, turn on XMP or its similar option. It's typically found in Ai tweaker (Advanced) or Main page (Basic). If this doesn't help, manually boost the speed if your BIOS allows it.
The computer builders who sold it to me say the KVR26S19D8/16 functions at 2666 and they verified it. That's why I wondered if there might be a workaround.

It seems you might also want to invest in higher-quality thermal paste and additional cooling methods to improve performance. The sellers offer this as an option. The Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on CPU + GPU and Fujipoly Extreme Thermal Pads for heat-sensitive surfaces are highlighted as top choices. They cost $95USD, but you might wonder if it's worth the price.
Gaming laptops tend to overheat. If you go
over 80c
, consider cooling solutions like
laptop cooler
+
thermal paste change
. As overheating can cause thermal throttling + noise problems.
It's overpriced by 2-3 times and there is a reason for that. Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut is
liquid metal
. One little mistake and your laptop is fried. They take extra money to guarantee safety.
I would just spend the money on a good laptop cooler + Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut. Should get the job done. BEST PERFORMANCE is for enthusiasts who only care about performance.
