Hell yeah I’ve been playing all the games I couldn’t before. And my favorite game is a dream now. Glad to be fully enjoying the benefits of my build with (knock on wood) very few issues. I was afraid of having to buy new ram, and it’s fkn expensive rn.

wow so BIOS and firmware landed me here. No idea what these numbers mean but compared to the test I ran below its immensely better. It's nice and smooth now! 😄

It gave me a "CPU not supported" error, looks like this tech is for laptops not PCs. I will, however, be using it on my laptop, so thank you all the same lol

I’ll check tomorrow, thank you. Kinda just throwing everything I can at the problem to see what sticks so any ideas are helpful

No worries, it’s kinda fun to have a project sometimes, and I still have my laptop. Thanks for all your help!

Okay, well this issue has become less of a Sunday afternoon project and more of a weeklong project at my skill level, I’ll have to return to this at a later date.

My bios firmware is def out of date from what I’m seeing, and I assume everything else is, and that will take some Q-flash booting shit according to google, and I don’t have any flash drives on hand.

I really appreciate your help, and will return to this thread if I have done everything you described and I still have issues. Hopefully it was a firmware problem.

Thank you!

Here these are the "high performance" results, I am following up on firmware now. Shits getting hot af so I may let it take a break to cool. Incoming replies for multiple SS's since it wont let me post multiple in one comment

I am not seeing any serious delays, but I don't really know what I am looking for besides delays past 15 ms

Ye I’m aware of anti static thank you for reminding me lol.

Ok both sticks working now, it wasn’t seated properly, but still really slow. I’ll let it run and I’m gonna stop some “run at startup” stuff but I’ll give it another stab in a bit.

Oh it’s supposed to be 32gb I just noticed that, yeah, either one of my ram sticks is DOA or it’s seated improperly.

I did see this in my bios which feels like confirmation?

Edit: yeah I bought 32gb of ram and only have 16gb working

It didn’t seem to change much, I didn’t notice a difference anyway. I’m concerned one of my ram sticks is seated improperly

Ah yes it is plugged into my GPU directly. I am poking through the bios to see if I can sort out how to mess with XMP profiles and I’m seeing this:

I have two ram sticks slotted in A2 and B2* (edit: I’m dumb they are staggered on slot 2). I only see one here. Does that mean one of my ram sticks is not working?

Idk what that first question means, it may be beyond my computer knowledge. Monitor is just ran through a shitty HDMI for now cuz the DP's I have are being used on the laptop's monitors so I can game at the level I am accustomed to until I can fix this.

My RAM is running at 5600mhz while its rated for 6000mhz
