After playing "World of Warcraft" for 15 minutes, the bottom of the notebook and the center of the keyboard reached 108 degrees, We consider anything above 95 degrees to be uncomfortable.

The 15-inch MacBook Pro can run quite warm under stress. While running various benchmarks, the MacBook Pro's fan occasionally got loud enough for us to hear it from across the room, but it wasn't too disturbing. We still find it annoying that memory cards protrude from the notebook when inserted. In addition to a second USB 3.0 port, the right side of the MacBook Pro has an SD Card slot and HDMI port.
The MagSafe 2 power connector, headphone jack and dual microphones also line the left side. As the world waits for blazing-fast peripherals to match, you can use one of two USB 3.0 ports (one on the left and on the right). We're talking up to 20 Gbps, or four times faster than USB 3.0. I haven’t done the experiment yet (had no need to as I own one with max amt of ram possible.Click to EnlargeThe left side of the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro houses two new Thunderbolt 2 ports that promise twice the bandwidth of the original Thunderbolt. Make sure to confirm all this with datasheet/schematic before doing anything. You could most likely just buy the same chip you had on the board and solder them on the other side (there should be empty pads for the ram) and then adjust the resistors accordingly using info from schematic snd boardview (google). Possible vendors are usually samsung, micron, elpida, and hynix Specifications, and vendor of the RAM chip suitable to use as replacement (type, density, pinouts, voltage, latency) (schematic or just google the ram chip for datasheet)Īfter this, you buy the chips from aliexpress, get them soldered onto the board, and adjust the ram config bits by rearranging the resistors (solder).įrom what I have seen, your machine probably haveġ6 (one side populated on board) lpddr3-1600 ram chips with each having 78-pin, with a density of 2Gb (not Byte as 1Byte=8bit) (16*2/8=4GB) with CAS latency of 11-11-11 and operating at voltage of 1.35V. Its correlation on the board to the vendor id bits, its memory configuration bits and its meaning (schematic) The ram configuration resistors location (schematic->boardview) Use schematic and boardview to determine the following: If you are hiring someone do the soldering, you might hire them to do the following with you holding liability as they wont do it otherwise (bad business if they do)
Schematic of your logic board with board view file (from internet)
To do this, you would need certain essential tools/components. If you match the RAM config and the bit value, it should work. This is how you Custom these machines from web with more RAM

The big idea is that RAM on these machines are designed to be configurable at factory to few possible RAM configurations Allowed by the bootrom.(# of chips, density per chip), and vendor (supply chain) by adjusting bunch of a pull-up and pull-down resistors that determine the signal that get sent to the computer’s PCH, telling it how to deal with ram (how many chips, how dense per chip) (Hard, risky, but fun)ĭespite the machine having soldered on RAM, it is actually upgradable(albeit hard).

OR upgrade the RAM chip and reconfigure the RAM config strap on the logic board. To fix this, either sell this machine and get one with 8+gb of ram (easiest, boring, possibly cheaper) The slowdown is caused by computer having not enough memory, and having to page to ssd (even ssd are slow compared to ram)
