I previously had an i5-7600k, now I have an i7-7700k. During stress tests with Prime95, I notice odd lag spikes only when using more than 23000mb of RAM, not when testing the CPU itself. The problem appears only when exceeding that memory limit, even with XMP settings or varying RAM speeds. Temperatures remain normal. This behavior occurs regardless of RAM speed—whether it's XMP on/off or at any other setting. How is this happening? Are there alternative ways to test my RAM?

The gold standard for evaluating RAM is memtest86.
You should be able to finish a complete run without any mistakes.
