3.99GB available memory from 8GB after increasing the CPU frequency to 4GHz
I've been attempting to overclock my i5 760, but I found that pushing it to 4Ghz and higher only allows about 3.99 GB of RAM to function properly. Additionally, after going through a tutorial on CPU overclocking and adjusting the BIOS settings, I noticed a noticeable drop in frame rates in Watch_Dogs 2. Here are my specifications:
Graphics card: Zotac GTX 1060 6GB
Ram: 2x2GB Kingston 1x4GB Patriot 2133 MHz dual channel
CPU: Intel i5 760 stock 2.8GHz
Motherboard: MSI P55-GD55
CPU cooler: Coolermaster Master Liquid Lite 120
Case: Antec One
Bios version: 1.9
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
When you boost your CPU frequency, does the RAM speed also adjust accordingly? I’d like to verify this and find out the extent of the change. You’re right about not mixing RAM types—getting another Patriot stick would be better, selling the existing Kingston ones could help. Using two identical RAMs in dual-channel mode would likely improve performance significantly.
When you boost your CPU speed, does the RAM speed also adjust accordingly? I’d like to verify this and find out the exact difference. You’re right not to mix them—I should get another Patriot stick, keep the same Kingston RAMs, and sell the ones you already own. Two identical RAMs work better, and dual-channel operation would be even faster.
When I changed my CPU base frequency, my DRAM speed also shifted. The relationship is roughly 1:8 between base frequency and DRAM frequency.
I’m ready to start selling my Kingston RAMs!
When you shut down your CPU, your RAM might be overloaded and the Kingston chips may struggle, or perhaps the Patriot memory can't cope. Perform a RAM stress test to identify which RAM sticks are overheating. The ones that run hot are likely the ones that aren't working well.
When you check your CPU, your RAM might be overloaded and the kingsons can't manage or perhaps the patriot can't handle it. Perform a RAM stress test and observe which RAM sticks are overheating. The ones that are warm are likely the ones not working well.
Download Aida64, tap "system stability test" > select "stress system memory".
