[SOLVED] Just upgraded pc and wanting to know if this is all working fine

[Hi Im Col]

Hey just upgraded my pc and im always worried i did something wrong and what if this isnt working how it should be.

I ran a UserBench mark test and got these results https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/22595053

Need any other info let me know thanks.

What part isn't working?

The main stand out from the Userbenchmark analyse (for what it is) is the RAM speed. It suggests to me you haven't used an XMP profile to take advantage of the higher speeds available to it.

Everything seems to be fine, just worried about the ram i guess? Like can i put them in the wrong slots and that? Its meant to be 3600mz so wondering if i did something wrong?

Two particular points on RAM then (from top of my head).

1. Anything above 2667MHz would require the usage of the XMP profiles in BIOS. It's pretty simple, just enter BIOS and enable the one you want. There should be choices for different speeds up to the maximum frequency the kit is sold as advertised. This is likely why Userbenchmark flags your RAM as underperforming.

2. RAM sticks have preferred channels to be installed in. In your case the A2 and B2 slots (there will be an empty slot inbetween). They should be marked on the motherboard or close to the slots.

Ran another test and got these results now, https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/22598379

Another thing my CPU is running lower than expected as its not fully boosted im guessing?


thanks a lot my dude

Userbenchmark is noting there are a lot of background processes taking up CPU resources during its check. Best to shut down as many unneeded software processes as possible to run it.
