The issue stems from unstable frame rates, likely due to high resource usage or rendering bottlenecks.

Hey, I see the issue is affecting your gaming performance. Your PC might be struggling due to various factors beyond just RAM. Check if your graphics card is up to date, ensure your system drivers are current, and verify that your operating system isn’t causing bottlenecks. Also, consider running a memory diagnostic or stress test to rule out other issues.
If you're using an 8GB DDR4 stick with dual-channel, your performance might not be optimal. Dual-channel setup usually improves speed, and faster RAM tends to help. Running many background processes can cause frame drops in newer games, especially with a 6C/6T CPU configuration.
Many YouTubers share impressive setups, suggesting single channel memory as a budget-friendly option. They often overlook the impact on bandwidth since they aren't fully understanding the process. I recall chatting with a cousin who began playing PC games; he watched a tutorial claiming single channel memory boosts speed.
I get a bit of their point, particularly about budget motherboards with just two dimmers—so you don’t have to discard a 2x4 setup when you upgrade. They’d better be able to make it clear you’re cutting something short-term until you can afford a better option.
The 8600K isn’t as well-known as the 6600K, yet there are usually around 1% performance drops with the i5 series in general. It seems this issue might be less pronounced since your system has six cores. Are you using Afterburner? Check those low-usage periods and observe your RAM consumption. An 8GB memory can work, but it’s limited. High-demand titles often need 10-11GB when running at full capacity.
Can I keep an eye on memory consumption while playing? Could be using a lot of RAM? Might be experiencing swapping problems...
