RAM usage question

Just saying that nothing comes easy. Steam bugs sorted by reinstalling Radeon Sofware... Talk about standards, it's like every single programmer do their best to give you a hard time...

 

Some people are just naturally technerds or quasi-technerds. And some of us... ain't.

Well, I reiterate, it's little use if you guys don't get your head into it, ask questions to support teams and read about it because the next time it happen (or something else), you could sort it out yourself then later on be in a position where you, in turn can assist by passing the little experience you gained...

 

I can handle the superficial stuff, but when it gets into the weeds of the BIOS page and timings and stuff, I have no choice but to seek professional help.

That's how it's supposed to be, not always the case since CPU Controllers RAM frequency limits are 3200MHz for both Intel and AMD DDR4 systems, a 3600 MHz might need some tweaking in BIOS.

Btw, in the list of purgatorial karmatic experiences coming with my new gear, I forgot to mention MSI BIOS being unstable, making it nearly impossible to boot my system after swapping from one PCI_E slot to the other and back, "default" setting is default and didn't work once the GPU back to CPU_E1 slot, I had to swap again and set them both to Gen 3 or whichever worked.

This one was the worst of all, I had complete boot failure down to the blue screen of hell forcing a clean install of Windows 10 Pro, which forced me to go to Windows 11Pro which itself came with more problems with Automatic Update minefield and AMD drivers settings take over, programmers would have wanted to screw my system, they wouldn't have done otherwise...

 

 

 

You see, when you suffer, it makes us lesser technerds feel better about ourselves. Misery loves company and all that.

Believe it or not, I'm not a technerd as such, I learned the hard way, first having to build our PCs at the 3D Dpt where I was working as a CGI technician, as my boss was saying at the time: "Windows is designed to screw you" and "this job is about 90% problem solving and 10% creativity", which should be the opposite since we're not supposed to be those companies guinea pigs and were paying expensive software to do a creative job.

Oh and I nearly forgot, I'm in the age group where you no longer learn easily but forget things faster than you learned them, which makes it a lot more challenging.

The whole point is "they" don't work for us, they compete and even work against each other, best example being Microsoft and their sick level of compulsory intrusiveness:

I wonder why nobody had a look at their procedure to launch a law suite against them, forcing updates is already pushing it, but sabotaging GPU drivers or literally replacing them without your consent is another level,  Bill Gates sure left a strong legacy behind him, the triggers embedded in their recent updates literally hack people's PCs.
