    Question Old HDD was causing PC to stutter, uninstalled, got better, new NVME brought the problem back. What gives?

    Just stopping by to say that this worked! I do have a question though. I reinstalled windows from a usb drive. In doing so, I completely wiped all current drives and formatted/wiped the recovery/boot sections of the old m.2. However, when I now go into my bios, it doesn't list my new NVME as my...

    Not arguing, just genuinely curious. Why would the stuttering have stopped when I unplugged my HDD and then come back when I installed a new NVME?

    Can do, but do you mind explaining why this would be the solution?

    Question RAM is severely underperforming?

    @Ralston18 Looking back at the manual you posted, I now see that I have my RAM in slots A1/A2, and not the rec'd B2/A2. Could this be my problem? My B1/B2 slots are blocked by my massive air cooler. Is this a case where slapping a smaller cooler (going from air to water - most likely) would...

    Question RAM is severely underperforming?

    I'm an idiot and didn't have the correct chipset selected on the ASUS QVL/XMP page. Turns out it states it does have proper XMP support for my RAm, so now I'm very unsure of why it's underperforming. See highlighted portion of the image below.

    Question RAM is severely underperforming?

    Additional SPD images as requested by @Ralston18 - Bios XMP setting is still XMP 2 Any other suggestions are welcomed as I'd love to somehow get this stuff performing well, as opposed to having to buy more RAM

    Question RAM is severely underperforming?

    Much appreciated. Just to make sure that I understand: Moving forward, look at RAM that is specifically compatible with my mobo's QVL/XMP settings and focus on purchasing something that will be properly supported? Then swap it in and verify? I guess I'm SooL on my current RAM? Just hurts to...

    Question RAM is severely underperforming?

    That's the correct user manual. I currently have my VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C18 Memory Kit (CMW32GX4M2D3600C18) in slots A1 & A2. As far as supported RAM, according to the manual, the 3600 IS supported, but when looking at the QVL on the ASUS website, it doesn't...

    Specs: I9-11900k Nvidia 3070ti Corsair CMW32GX4M2D3600C18 2x16GB ASUS Prime H570-Plus Windows 10 So I've been having FPS concerns in a lot of newer games for the past few months. While my friends are able to often achieve much higher FPS with lower specs, I'm consistently stuck a little behind...
