Seriously in need of help. Been pulling my hair out trying to make my build stable.
My setup:
AMD 1950x
Kracken x52 aio
128gb (8x16gb)15/15/15/35 gskill tridentz
Gigabyte Aorus 399x
EVGA 1080 ti hybrid
EVGA 850watt platinum psu
Ever since I setup my threadripper build, the computer has just seemed VERY slow and laggy, and just giving me all sorts of headaches. I decided to update my bios to the latest version, which seemed to help a little bit. I then thought, perhaps its because the memory is running at the default 2200mhz and not at its rated speed. So i set XMP in bios, which sets my ram exactly to its advertised speed (3200mhz 15-15-15-35) 1.35v, but after only doing XMP, my system was unable to post. I then thought, well maybe its because the CPU needs to be overclocked a bit in order to handle the higher speed ram, so I set the CPU to 3.7ghz at 1.3 vcore, and also lowered the memory to 3000mhz just to try to get a boot.
Now I was able to get a successful boot, and the system seemed a bit more stable, but overall still not as fast as I would like. Checking cpuz is showing something very shocking. Apparently my memory is currently running in DUAL CHANNEL MODE!! It also seems like my ram is running at 1600mhz clocking in at 15-15-15-16. Whats going on here, and how Can i set it to QUAD channel?
I've heard that having more memory can make your system less stable, is this true? If so, do I need to remove ram...?
