Hi, I want to start with saying that I'm new here. Sorry, if I do not know all the in's and out's of what I should include and exclude from the post.
So a couple days ago I wanted to give my PC a little gift.
I've been running the same setup for about a year now:
MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X
i7 8700K clocked to 4,3GHz
Asus Z370F Motherboard with a fresh BIOS update.
Ballistix 2x8Gb RAM (BLS8G4D26BFSEK.8FBD)
WD M.2 250Gb, WD 2Tb HDD, Seagate 2Tb HDD
I wanted to switch out the 16Gb for a 32Gb kit. I ordered "Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3200Mhz 32GB" Kit. It's 2x16Gb and the product number is CMW32GX4M2Z3200C16.
I went about my stroll and switched them out in the exact same DIMM slots; A2 and B2. I enabled the XMP profile pushing them to 3200MHz.
Then I watched some videos and had a look at the glorious amount of RAM in the taskmanager.
I thoroughly enjoyed myself, in fact, I wanted to play some Apex and see if things still work. To my disappointment my game stuttered, absolutely crazy stuttering. FPS still shows around 100 FPS even in the middle of a stutterfest.
After asking my roommate about some tips we decided to crosscheck all the different RAM's we have in the house. I gave my old DIMM's to my guy and he tested them on his system with the exact same settings I used to have and they worked flawlessly.
We then tried the new ones in his system and they worked great, at the same time I tried using my older DIMM's with the settings I had for the new ones that caused stuttering. And they also worked just like before.
So we switched it up and tried using just one DIMM. First we checked them in his system and then mine. In his they worked great, but in mine they caused stuttering. Both of them. He's got an older CPU i7 7700K.
At this point I'm lost; I don't know what more to do and what more to check. In every forum I hoped could relate was only regarding people mixing different RAM sticks, which I haven't.
And now I'm here. Any help or questions is greatly appreciated. Help me get my game on!
