I might have som RAM issues?

[UsernameAndPassword]

Hello Guys,

To start off i want to let you guys know that his is a fresh build, the Motherboard, Processor, Ram sticks, and SSD's are 6 days old also it is a fresh windows install.
XMP - Enabled

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X WRAITH 3900 AM4 BOX
Gigabyte X570 UD
Corssair Vengeance 3000 Mhz 16GB DDR4

Kingston 240GB - Just for windows

Kingston 960GB - Any other stuff

At this moment i think iam experiecing some issues with my ram, its using a heavy load around 25 to 45% while doing nothing, I must say that as soon as i get gaming i havent seen it go over 55% aswell.
Ive made some screenshots, keep in my mind my OS is installed in Dutch language so some "tasks" my have a diffrent name then in the English Version, Also on the right side of the first screenshot its the second page of my taskmanager to give you guys a little bit more vieuw into what is running.

Source Check

All i did after i builded my system:
Installed Windows 10 - Fresh
Installed mobo driver's + chipset drivers
Downloaded+Installed new Bios (Version F1 to Version F10 Since there where some compatibility updates Sata/Ryzen/RAID/Gaming)
Enable XMP - Bios pre setup profile 1

Checked if XMP is really enabled (wich it is)

Started to install my Gaming apps+ Game's and the rest wich is needed.

 

I have no problems while opening apps/games or booting in to windows. 

What i mean is it is not taking longer then it should to open heavy games or boot into windows.

Iam not sure if this really is an issue or even if it is an issue, iam quiet new to building system's to i just wanted to double check.
Also iam quiet sure this have's nothing to do with it but my temprature's are normal - Cpu idle 35-40 degrees and while gaming 50-60 degrees, motherboard and Ssd's between 27/30 degrees.
I hope ive given all the information you guys needed to see if there might be a problem.

Everything looks good! 4GB of ram usage is nothing, I idle at about 10GB of ram usage with no active programs launched right after a windows start up. What your seeing is perfectly fine.

RAM usage is good. The more things it can load into RAM the faster its going to work. With about ~3-4 GB used by Chrome, my desktop in my sig uses about 8-10GB of RAM minimum. This is why having more RAM is helpful (obviously to a point) because it lets windows actually dump useful things into RAM so it runs quicker for you the user.

It's not doing nothing in your screenshot tho. 

 

Honestly it might look a lot to you but that's actually pretty normal especially seeing how many things you have open.

That however was a big mistake in my opinion. Yes many people use these,  but especially as an OS drive they're not suitable. 

 

You may get lucky and it works well,  but if your PC starts having actual issues I'd change that out first thing. 

 

Honestly these Kingston drives are reasonable fast,  if you're lucky, but low quality (if you're wondering)

Thanks for you're responce id get that part but on my old build when it was IDLE i didnt see it go over 10-12% (could have been a faulty driver in windows since it was one of the first W10 Versions) Thats whats making me think if there is something wrong :P. Next week ill order another set of Corssair Vengeance 3000 Mhz 16GB DDR4 so i have 32GB.

Mark Kaine, i dont get it what you mean with "pretty normal especially seeing how many things you have open." since it is a fresh install and all at that point what ive installed + had open was Discord, Chrome, Steam, Razor Synapse and Nvide all the rest you can see is from Windows since it is a fresh install but for example if you look at the screen shots you can see Google chrome (6) and below that there are 3-4 another Google Chromes the weirdest thing is that i only have 1 tab open with google.com so why are there multiple chrome's? Thats the point what i dont get for example on my old system (here it comes) Fx8370 + 16gb 1600mhz i had the same programs open (Discord, Chrome, Steam, Razor Synapse and Nvide) and it was around 10-12%. I expected if i would uprade it would atleast use the same or a little bit les, or am i trying to compare apples with banana's?:P

Also can you explain me what you mean with the big mistake on the OS boot SSD only?
Ive been using this on my old system aswell, i had a 60GB kingston just for windows and a 1TB HDD and ive never experienced issue's (atleast i think)

Can you give me an example of wich issues you mean? And can you explain an other/better way to do it then?

It's normal.  Your ram usage is pretty low in fact.

Kingston drives are known to be very low quality, I was just pointing that out, that's all. 

 

If it works for you it's fine I guess?

Do you have a need for 32 GB of RAM..? If not, don't worry about it. If you do, you sorta know you do. For instance, I do a lot of photo editing, and with photoshop and lightroom open I can see usage as high as about 24 GB, but that is because I am dealing with 1 GB tiff files and 80 MB RAW's. Most people really have no need for more than 16 GB, the fact windows is using some is fine. Use the PC for a while, and if you see your usage go above ~14 GB, then you can start to think about buying more RAM.
