Specs:
AMD FX-6300
AsRock 970 extreme3
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4) 1600 MHz model number: CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9
EVGA GTX 760
Windows 7 Home Premium
I have been experiencing performance issues in the desktop, as well as while gaming when I feel I should not be. Framerate fluctuation in games my PC should be more than capable of running at a smooth 60fps, lowering in game settings doesn't seem to change much. Hangups on the desktop, the occasional total lockup/crash. I haven't had a BSOD in a while so unfortunately I don't have any crash codes.
I ran the Passmark Performance Test and everything looked fine with the exception of my RAM benchmarks. They all seemed to under perform the expectation of this RAM kit. Results of the benchmark: http://imgur.com/a/RdtvN
I have tried using the RAM in different slots in my motherboard, no change occured. I have tried running the RAM at a lower frequency (1330 MHz), no luck. I've ensured the timings were as the manufacturer specified. I have run Memtest86 extensively and no issues were diagnosed. I'm a bit at a loss.
After some googling I saw that my particular RAM kit is intended for PC's using Intel CPU's, but according to the manufacturer there should be no issues with an AMD computer. I'm assuming this is either a RAM or motherboard issue, and don't know how to proceed from here.
