Hey guys. I've noticed my CPU at 100% in some games and was doing some reading and saw that ram can somehow impact this. One of my mobo's ram slots doesn't function properly (I put the ram in the two optimized slots and computer turns on but nothing happens), so i have to settle and put the ram in the slots parallel to each other. I get a warning when launching my PC saying that the RAM isn't in the optimal spot.

Can playing games/using my computer like this have an impact on performance? Most games run fine, but CPU intensive ones I hit 100%.

Thanks in advance.
