Here are my new PC build specs...
- i7 6700k 4.0 GHz Skylake
- Gigabyte GA-Z170x gaming 5 motherboard
- EVGA 3200mhz DDR4 RAM PC3-25600 - 16GB
- Nvidia Geforce 1060 3GB
- SSD 128GB - Windows 10 install location
- 1TB 3.5" HDD - photoshop, overwatch, battlefield 1 install location
- 500TB 2.5" HDD 7200RPM - backup drive
The ram I bought is 2x8GB EVGA 3200 DDR4 SC. On the manufacturers website, it says that it's rated at 1.5v. However, in the BIOS, I see 1.2v. On micro center's website, the product page lists it at 1.35V. I also am OC my ram up to 3200 and enabled XMP. I seem to be getting a laggy PC in windows 10 where programs start not responding, start menu is unresponsive and slow to load. But then the lag will stop and my PC will be super speedy again.
I tried a fresh install of windows 10 and a day later I ran into the same issue of lag. At first the PC seemed like it was fixed.
Could my RAM being at the wrong voltage be screwing things up for my PC and making everything slow? I thought that my motherboard would automatically set the voltages to make it work. I'm really baffled here and am not sure what I should do. Also, I can't manually set to 1.35v on the dot. In the BIOS when I enter 1.35, it jumps to like 1.364V..
Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks!
