Hey there,
Please confirm the BIOS version running on the motherboard. You can verify this using CPU-z and the mainboard section.
Have you installed all the latest system drivers, such as chipset, LAN, audio, etc.?
Consider removing the GPU driver with DDU and then reinstalling it to see if that resolves the problem.
Are you overclocking the CPU or GPU? If yes, revert to stock settings and test again.
I should have noted that I reset drivers, reinstalled Windows many times but I believed 2 years would already be enough.
The BIOS version is 4702, the drivers are current too, yet the issue persisted regardless of driver updates—whether it started well or became consistently slow.
I attempted the default settings but kept core at 4.6 GHz and 1000 MHz+ on GPU memory, achieving only slight improvements.
It seems the problem likely lies with RAM, audio, or Windows configurations.
You possess two sets of RAM modules. Dispose of one set. Ensure it remains a compatible pair from the same package. Position one set in slots 2 and 4 on the CPU. Restart the computer and access BIOS settings. Configure XMP/DOCP to 3600, save changes, and exit. Allow the system to boot into Windows. Verify memory speed with the CPU Z register should display 1800 plus or minus a few MHz. Test your games. Mixing memory configurations can be unpredictable—success is uncertain. After reinstalling Windows, was it a full erasure of the drive using a USB installation media or a complete system reset that preserves all user data?
The issue was clear, and adjusting the Command Rate to 1T made a bigger difference. How would you measure this challenge and could a 3600hz cl14 kit bring stability better? Also, some RAM kits on the Asus site say they work with CPUs but not with motherboards—would that matter and lead to similar issues in Ryzen builds? And why do you think the pump speed listed as chasis 6 is likely?
3600 cas 14 performs marginally better than the CAS 16 you currently have.
The improvement is minor, observed mainly in specific benchmarks or long-running tests.
For gaming, expect about 1-2 frames per second difference.
This is likely due to pump speed adjustments, but it's only operating at half that speed or 2100rpm.
There is a recognized software issue when using a fan header instead of a dedicated pump header.
