Hi everyone! I have a 16gb (4x4) hyperx Ram no XMP profile that i have created loaded and i have been experiencing a overall slower PC not by a lot,It happened after a failed overclock, but i think the CPU is fine but the usage of the CPU is spiking lately but noticeable, could be that i just moved, and internet is not as great but i am also concerned about the memory being the problem...
Any help appreciated!
Specs-

i5 6600k @3.5ghz + boost
16gb Kingston hyperx RAM
600w evga psu
evga 780ti
gigabyte mini itx wifi motherboard

Please let me know if you need more information, thank you a lot!

So about your memory, is it only rated at a maximum speed of 1333Mhz with not XMP overclocking options.
If it has you should enable XMP mode in the bios settings of the motherboard under the advanced bios menu selection option Hyper X does have Xmp profile settings.

But in the bios you have to be in advanced mode and not basic mode of the bios menus.
To be able to see the Xmp memory option and enable it.

You see if Xmp mode is not enabled or activated.
You memory will be running at a slower speed by default, it will also have the completely wrong memory timing values set for the ram causing it to run slower and your system feeling a bit sluggish.

What you can also do if the option exists in the bios is disable Intel speed step...

What you can also do if the option exists in the bios is disable Intel speed step technology.
What it will do is prevent the clock speed of the cpu dropping down to around 800Mhz speeds when very little activity or light processing load is required.

It will leave the clock speed of the cpu at it`s maximum frequency all of the time at 3.5Ghz speed.
That is often why you see a lag effect of the system.

Disable it in the bios Intel speed step.

Save the changes in the bios before you exit it.
Then exit the bios setup.

Let windows load.
And then go to control panel of windows.
Find the power settings options, and set the profile for balanced to High performance _MrLilNik_.
Apply the new power plan profile of High performance.

The restart the system once again letting it load back up to the windows login or windows desktop mode.

You should then notice you have no more noticeable lagging on your system.
It will be more responsive.
