Check your PC's memory usage to see if it's consuming excessive resources.
It's not uncommon for systems to consume more memory than they're actively using. Running smoothly with 32GB RAM at 3333MHz usually means the OS and background processes are managing efficiently. If you're still seeing high usage even when idle, it could be due to background apps or system settings. It’s a bit unusual but not unheard of.
It was identical during the upgrade; now I understand the reason. Thanks, even though it wasn’t my question, hehe.
This suggests the dislike setting is the main factor driving buyers to purchase gaming PCs with 64GB of memory.
I've been running on 32GB for a while, with 7-8GB when idle being typical for Windows based on background apps like Steam or Discord. The system adjusts its memory usage as more space becomes available, so seeing high figures is normal if you have plenty of RAM unused. Conversely, when memory is limited, Windows will reduce usage to around one GB.
I've also been using 32GB of RAM for a while now, which seems typical based on what apps are running or background tasks. You can check the task manager and filter by memory usage to identify programs consuming your RAM. In the startup section, you have the option to turn off certain applications that start automatically so they don't run in the background when you power on your computer.
