is it just the wrong memory or too much for the CPU?

FintaruS · Apr 30, 2013

Hi.
I have been forced to upgrade my PC, after i fried my mainboard, so i opgraded from a AMD Phenom Quad 9950 with a Asus Crosshair I to a AMD FX-8120 on a Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z mainbord and some kingston RAM, the RAM is where I think is getting “the slow” from, the new RAM or a set of Kingston's KHX16C10B1K2/16X http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KHX16C10B1K2_16X.pdf
is the Intel mark, at the corner really where the problem is? Or is it facets that its just the wrong setup? If new/other RAMs can help, i would love to know what I should choose.

A frind of my, has a core 2 q9450 and girlfrind is a Pentium E2160 and all a lot faster than my

My system is
AMD FX-8120 Black Edition coold by a Corsair Hydro Series H80
ASUS CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z
Kingston 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (2x8) HyperX KHX16C10B1K2/16X
2 x Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB RAID 0

all so I tryd it here.

What is it slow at? DDR3 1600MHz is fine.

Graphics? You didn't mention what Graphic card you have compared to the other systems.

Give more detail on your system and what do you mean by "slow"? Slow for what?

chriss000 · Apr 30, 2013

Not enough info. That system should respond at the same speed in normal tasks as a e2d. You would be able to tell which was which

Especially loading time of a game (the game runs fin when it's loaded) and other program (Super_IP is really slow) can be slow

Cazalan: so its just my RAM setting that are off?

sorry for the speeling, i'm dyslexic and sorry for the slow answers i'm using a lot at time to the doctors/hospital this days. NOT the dyslexia, hope this helps. i'm going to check the RAM in the BIOS

Cazalan · May 1, 2013

Which slots do you have the memory in?

For 2 DIMMS they should be in the 2 RED slots.

If they're in 1 red and 1 black you're in Single Channel mode and that would HALF your memory bandwidth, which would explain a lot.

chriss000 · May 1, 2013

I dont like the sound of raid 0
without a £100 dedicated raid card If you have a slow drive or ad settings it could e causing slow load ties

FintaruS · May 2, 2013

Yes the RAM are in the RED slot my be i shout tryk whidt one block of RAM?

i'm uses this rams http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KHX16C10B1K2_16X.pdf

one of my friends suggest the on chip memory controller could be damaged, any ideas on how to test that one?

ihog · May 2, 2013

Did you reinstall Windows when you got the new mobo?

FintaruS · May 2, 2013

Yes, i always install windows at new when i get new hardware, even if is not needed. how ever this time the raid controller requires a format/reinstall

Cazalan · May 2, 2013

FintaruS :

No, you want to keep 2 populated, or it will go into single channel mode.

You can run this from a bootable ISO.

okay done, the timing when runing the memtest (the same as always)

MEMtest passed 7 times, no errors (tog some time)

If its just slow when loading files/games then its your harddrive.

FintaruS · May 5, 2013

popatim :

when I load the game menu it goes fast enough, it's when I load a level up is slow, well yes, als you say, i can see it could be the disk, but it is offset to the RAM first, I feel the disks is fast enough. here is a problem then, why is it so slow to calculate IP (see above superIP) is hardly useing the HDD for that, right?
but tell me definitively if I'm wrong, and why.

and yes, the discs ran super in the old system.
