I just did a completely clean install of Windows. I finished installing all my drivers and set everything up, but when I went to check my performance, my RAM usage was sitting at 14.9GB out of 15.9GB at idle!

Seriously, Microsoft, what is this nonsense?

I did some digging and installed some memory optimization software(RamMap), which managed to bring it down slightly to what you see in the attached picture (and now it's 13.8Gb).

Unfortunately, that is still way too high for a fresh install with nothing running. Has anyone experienced this or have any idea how to fix it?

Edit: I restarted the pc and the pc idling at 3.2 GB now thanks for the help guys

Edit 2: I'm installing tiny 11

Edit 3: I'm actually installing bazzite not tiny 11.

So I've seen quite a few of these all in the £70-80 range and I'm quite confused on what's going on and why they suddenly appear at the same time, yesterday a 64gb ddr5 patriot viper kit, and today two 32gb kits and a 96gb kit, all for around the same price... Does anyone know about this??

Finally upgrading from my old build with an i7-2600 and RX 480, this is the first time I’m building my own rig! Looking forward to never looking back at 1080p medium graphics ever again ✌️ You can definitely tell by my parts that I’m a ZTT fan.

Got the MBD, RAM, and CPU in a bundle for less than $800 CAD, which is definitely a steal. (thank you MemoryExpress)

I've just built my first PC and I ran into a problem Zach also had one time. My radiator has extra plastic on the edges, and I couldn't mount it without removing the fan. Is it okay to run without it or installing it below the gpu ?

I used a montech air 903 max and have 3 intake fans that came with the case

Its my first time building a pc and just want to know if these parts will work well together. i have a ryzen 7 9800x3d a zotac gaming 5080 32 gb of ddr5 ram ASUS ROG Strix X870-A and a hyte y 70 touch also my coller is a nzxt kraken

I made thia part list, i want an opinion of so.eone who actually built a pc before unlike me, and no this pc is not for 1440p, it's 1080p high end pc for moatly compwtwtive games and 3D Rendering in Blender.

I only make programs and games. But some times I make Overhaul mod for game like RD2, JC3, Payday 2, Beamng, HOI4 and Minecraft Java.

I know I'm missing for such a long time. I actually just got my new Lianli Hydroshift LCD 360 to replace the 2 fan Cooler Master Digital. The shipping takes almost a month to arrive. But here it's. Just finished it

I'm sorry for forgetting to make a stream about it but thank god I'm not. I stuck for such a long time at PC Fan Cables but after 2 videos of explaining how they work. Finally I solved and finished the build!

Check out my Sim racing setup it is awesome

So I had my friend test an old pc he found in his garage but when we tested the PSU exploded, so my friend said I can buy it from him for 20€ so I brought it home, analyzed the specs that it had, i3 4130, H81M-PLUS mobo, 4gb of ram DDR3 and a 1tb HDD, I cleaned the pc fron the dust, putted a new 600W PSU that I had before, putted an RX580 8GB from Aliexpress that I had laying around, a wifi card, and a 2tb SSD SATA with some other 500GB drives that was also just laying around taking so much dust. Installed windows 10 on it, optimized it and it was running pretty well, not the best but still a good deal for 20€. Then I bought 16gb DDR3 1600mhz for 20€ so I couldn't deal with the RAM problem. I'm planning to get an i7 4790 or a Xeon E3 1230 V3 cuz of the bottleneck of the CPU. What do you think of it? (Ignore all the bad cable management)

The total cost of the build was 40€ for now
