Not really enough power?
Not really enough power?
Is your power supply sufficient for your PC? You mention that with only two RAM sticks it runs smoothly, but with all four it stalls. All RAM is functioning correctly, no issues with slots. This seems like a PSU concern rather than a hardware problem. Should you replace the power supply? Spekk: CPU is Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83GHz, 4-core, 4-thread. RAM includes two 800MHz and one 667MHz sticks, all DDR2. PSU is Silverstone 750W Platinum 80+ case, a budget local brand case.
More than enough. There's something wrong with your board or memory.
Rofl. If we don’t criticize the 10-year-old CPU, there’ll be no judgments about the case. I agree on my own. I’m planning to overclock that Q9950, and it should handle games smoothly until around 2018 if you do. It might even cause the graphics card to bottleneck. Your power supply can handle it. This machine demands more power than most current setups, but not significantly more—just a solid PSU. That 1.667mJ battery is tough. Swap it for an 800mHZ one and your performance will improve. Many complain about DDR2, but they overlook how close the case is to those components.
This model matches the latency of DDR4-16 cases but I haven’t seen low latency values below 3 before.
Typically two of the four slots perform better than the other two, often the "second and fourth" positions (A2 and B2), though this varies by manual. At certain high speeds or when latency is tight, running all four dimmers may not work. You might experiment with different RAM stick pairings—such as 667>667>800>800—or try alternate sequences like 800>667>800>667. Check the QVL for your memory support; some kits aren't stable enough for mixing or heavy use. The model numbers are usually printed on the side of the board, but if not visible, use Typhoon Burner to locate them.
