05-03-2016, 06:21 AM #1Hi, I have a brief inquiry about my recent RAM upgrade. I currently have 32Gb of DDR 4 3200 and turned on the XMP profile in the BIOS. After booting up, I checked the speed using Task Manager, which displayed 3200, but when I used tools like CPU-Z or Speccy, it showed the default rate. Could this be due to limitations in third-party software for reading frequency accurately, or is there another factor at play? Thanks ahead!
CPU-Z provides accurate details.

I'm also unsure about what the Uncore Freq means, and I'm not sure I'm thinking of it right.
Thanks for the quick replies!

Adjust the pagefile settings to a custom configuration instead of system-managed, with an initial size of 1GB and a maximum of 16GB.
You might also consider placing the pagefile on a different drive (D
, so it won't use write cycles for your NVMe storage and lasts longer.
BTW - your pagefile is really large at 23GB, which hurts performance.
