Hey everyone, About two or three years ago I decided to build a new PC and went through all my updates and tricks to figure it out. But now I don't think my computer is working as well as it should. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not sure. Here are two tests I ran today: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/70270915 Please click the green human icon below to continue - UserBenchmark Let me know all the details you need. Thanks for helping me out, I gave up trying.

You should turn on the DOCP option in your memory. Your hard drive is making your computer run slowly...

I have a 3600 RAM that's running pretty slow, like 2133 speed. I looked at the same thing before too. Those sticks go in slots A2 and B2, which is where they are next to each other on my board, right? So XMP or DOCP settings won't work properly unless you put them in slot A1 and B1 first.

I'm in slot 2 of 4 now. I'll verify it right after I come back home.

Hey thanks for getting back to me! I have not heard any news yet, so I will check the bios later after coming off work. Thanks again.

Yeah, if you've done systems before, back when there was no Ryzen, having an XMP setting wouldn't have mattered much and wasn't a big deal. But XMP has been around for ages, and AMD really needs RAM speed because their CPUs talk to the memory chip inside them.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've dug deep into things. I just haven't had the time to fix this correctly, so I'll definitely take care of it when I come back home. I'm gonna share my progress with everyone soon. Thanks!

You want to make a video like that, but just change the name from "EXPO" to "EXPO". Here is the link for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7pxgdqavR0

Besides having RAM that isn't doing too bad, your SSDs and graphics card feel weak compared to what other people are using. Something strange must be happening with the settings even after turning on XMP. I need some more details to understand this better.

CPU speed is lower than expected, but we will watch to see how things turn out. I'm guessing the new version of RAM might not even work with their existing profiles like XMP or DOCP. Basically, "expo" is a specific setting that needs both the memory and the motherboard to understand before it can run properly.
