My Specs -
CPU i5 4440
MotherBoard Maximus VII Ranger
GPU GTX 960 Strix 2GB
Ram HyperX Fury 8GB x 2, 1600 Frequency DDR3
PSU Corsair VS650
What is 'Overclocking'?
Is my RAM speed compatible with MOBO speed???
Or is it mismatched with CPU???
My PC keeps restarting as mentioned in my previous post, someone suggested that MOBO and RAM are running at different speeds.
Here is what CPUZ reports:
Ram Voltage is 1.5V
DRAM Frequency is 799.36 MHz
NB Frequency is 3298 MHz
FSB : DRAM is 1 : 6
CPU Core Speed is changing between 799 and 999
You can find more details about the situation in my previous thread
Is there an issue???
I can share additional information if needed, thanks ahead!

Do you have another PSU to consider, since the VS appears to be a weak one?

A connection to another discussion would be helpful. Also, 'mismatched speeds' won’t lead to a restart (actually, you don’t need to worry about it at all). How long have you been using the computer, and is this a new issue? If you’re unsure about overclocking, it probably isn’t the cause of your restarts.

There are many factors that can make your computer restart, both from hardware and software sides.

CPU-Z indicates your memory operates at its rated capacity. If you encounter issues with RAM, consider increasing the voltage slightly—they can handle up to 1.65v. Overclocking involves running it faster than its standard speed.

Jdog2pt0: A link to another discussion would be helpful. Also, 'mismatched speeds' shouldn't lead to a restart (actually, don't worry about it). How long have you been using the computer, and is this a new issue? If you're unfamiliar with overclocking, it probably isn't the cause of your reboots. There are many factors that can trigger a computer to restart, both hardware-related and software-driven. CountMike: Based on CPU-Z data, your RAM is operating at its rated capacity. If you're experiencing problems with memory, consider increasing the voltage slightly—they're designed for up to 1.65v. Overclocking refers to running faster than the standard speed. [link]
