Yea. Seems to be causing an issue when it’s enabled. Disabled it and everything is running really quickly now.

F Figured it out. Only seemed to be initial startup when Steam loaded and loading Steam games. Load of Googling, turns out I am showing 2 display devices in the device manager. No idea why. Disabled the AMD one and boom, lightening quick after restart.

I guessed there was something like that to do with the initial boot up. Takes a while before power gets to the keyboard. Loading up Call of Duty for example. Old PC, double click the shortcut, about a second later, it’s loading. New PC, double click the shortcut, 15 seconds before it’s loading...

Quick one guys. Any idea why my 4 year PC seems to be quicker than my new one? Benchmarks prove otherwise, but, older PC starts up way quicker. Loads windows quicker and any program or game loads quicker. I’ve no idea why. My new one seems sluggish in comparison. Games run amazingly when open...

I e used that before pal. I’ll do it tonight for you.

No it’s fine. The EXPO settings show the correct 6000. It was just the very first screen when the bios opened.

Here’s one pal. My bios is saying my RAM is running at 4800. Task manager says 6000. At what point is it overclocked pal? Is it during the boot up?

You might be onto something. A fresh install is definitely more therapeutic than messing with Icue for the first time 😂

I enjoy a good re-install 😂 RAM is running at 6000. Showing up fine in the task manager 👍🏻. I’ll run a memory test just to be sure. May be just that I’m used to using 64gb 😂

USB stick, boot into it, delete all partitions on main drive, and the others for good measure, made new partitions, format etc then install.

Completely clean install pal. I’d already read to do that and not license the test version. I’ll have a look in a min, see what it’s listed as. My old PC had a better memory benchmark than mine, but that has 64gb 😂

Installed Windows myself pal. Already had a license. No idea how to check the RAM speed to be fair.

Alright guys, Got the PC on Thursday. Finally got everything installed and it’s running fine. Carried out a few benchmarks and come back top of the pile. Only thing I need to check with the memtest is the memory. It came back quite low (44th percentile) of the CPU Passwork software. Tell you...

Cheers pal. I guessed as much. Setting up and redownloading/installing is fun anyway, just gives me another step to do 😂.

I’ve been trying to time it right. I couldn’t receive it before Xmas as my lad would know he’s getting my old one for Christmas 😂. So I’m trying to time it to get delivered after the 30th December when I’m finished nights 🤣. Weird I know. I can save the difference if I don’t get windows...
