Windows 10 High Ram usage

[Ricardo_54]

Hi, so I decided to open MSI afterburner to monitor a game's current resource consumption and i saw that i had about 10gb being used, i closed the game and saw the ram usage at about 50%, and i find it weird cause the OS + chrome + Discord + TS3 don't consume that much ram, they usually don't go over 100mb except for Chrome and the OS, my specs are the following:

AMD fx6300 3.5ghz
coolermaster Hyper212 evo
Asrock 970 extreme3
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz cl9 and 8GB Hyperx 1600mhz cl9 (yes, i know it's not recommended but the problem started to appear way after i installed the other 8gb and i spoke to some people saying that it's ok as long as the architecture is the same)
MSI GTX960 (driver updated)

I currently use 3 IObit softwares (driver booster,advanced system care and anti-malware engine) to update my drivers and check for malware aswell as a resource manager and ram flusher.

My current AV is windows defender, i heard it was better than commodo or Avast.

I also did that Ndu Tweak and i can't remember of anything else that might cause this issue besides the possibility of being the RAM sticks themselves causing it but again, i was told by a friend that as long as i had the same frequency and CAS latency it'd have about 90% compatibility

Use ccleaner to clean up your registry then advanced systemcare to clean up the rest. Use scan to get your windows settings ironed out then use boost to shutdown services you dont need. Next useblackvipers safe desktop to shutdown other services you dont need to free up more RAM.
