There is some RAM being reserved to the hardware. That doesn't botter me, but I wonder if anybody has any clues about what it could be. It is not the iGPU, already checked it.

Most likely that is reserved for the integrated graphics adapter in the CPU. Unless you have the iGPU disabled in the BIOS it will reserve some memory for use by the integrated graphics even if you have a PCIe graphics card installed.

But, there is ALWAYS some amount of memory reserved for hardware even on systems that do not have integrated graphics so it shouldn't be unexpected or unusual.
