Will try that, thanks

Doesn't seem to, plus I don't need to be actively rendering for the slowdowns to occur, simply filling the RAM seems to be enough...

Mostly 3D rendering and level editing + lightmass with Unreal Engine, it'll eat those 64GB if given the occasion Can't remember, but it's been a while, and we went through lots of updates in the meantime...And yes we do have a few things plugged in, beside mouse/keyboard, eHDD, VR headset (on one computer only tho...)

Hey, I need some help troubleshooting a strange behaviour happening on 2 identical Windows 10 xeon-based machines. When I start using around 40+% of the 64GB of RAM the computers both seem to slow down to a frustrating point. Plus, one them will have a bad habit of freezing, forcing me to reboot. Any input will be appreciated! Xeon E5-2697v4 8x8GB of 2400Mhz Vengeance LPX Asus X99-E WS Inno3D 1080Ti Corsair RM650X SSDs for Windows and apps

Allright. It would appear that my second pump (that I've been using on my personal rig for quite a while) is slowly dying as well. Problem solved with a brand new one. Thanks!

That's what I was going to try, but simply loading Windows makes the CPU to up to 80°C (which is way more than what I'm comfortable with). On the good computer, IPDT gets me around 50°C.

Hey, yesterday one of my two identical computers froze. I shut it down and upon rebooting, I had an alert at POST telling me the CPU (Xeon E5-2697v4) was overheating. 1st step, checking cooler: done, dead pump (Enermax Liqmax 240). I replaced it, reapplied thermal paste... Airflow is more than enough I think, in a Cooler Master MasterCase. Next thing I know, I'm in the BIOS of both computers, the good one running around 35-40°C while the other stabilizes at 60°C. At this point I'm open to any suggestion (everything is still under warranty, but if I can avoid anymore downtime...) Asus X99-E WS Xeon E5-2697v4 (under an Enermax Liqmax 240, should be more than enough?) 8x8GB Corsair LPX 2400MHz inno3D 1080ti powered by a Corsair RM650X (and it should probably be in the workbench section now that I think about it..sorry..)
