upgrade to 24 gb ram

FreedomEclipse · Apr 21, 2019

As point of note -- even if they are the same brand, speed and model. Be sure to check the timings. before you initiate any XMP profiles.

I had two different ram kits that were the same brand, speed & model but different rivisions and enabling XMP messed about with my system badly.

Running a RAMdisk?

Agreed. Also setup your system so it will boot up memtest86+ directly from a USB thumb drive/cd/dvd or similar before messing with anything ram related (BIOS settings, adding/removing ram modules) , as booting up windows with unstable memory might cause havoc on your filesystem and corrupt everything if you are unlucky. Let it run error free for a few passes before moving on. I usually also disconnect my main hard drives to be sure this can't happen.

There must be something else going on. If you buy more ram, its possible it will use 84% of the 24GB, might not be the fix. I wonder about a rogue program using up extra memory.

I've already told you the next step. Something else it taking up the memory, that amount of memory usage is not normal, and you have to switch to the File Summary tab in RAMMap and sort by Active to find out what files are mapped to memory and taking up so much space.

I added another 2gb ddr3 module to 1333 and surprise, it accepted it in the system with the other 2 of 8gb 1866, even if it's different generation, and I see it does not block my system. And although I have 3 slots busy in 4 , in cpu-z reads it as dual, probably asynchronous.

It could be the built in cache within windows...it uses unused ram in large amounts sometimes....
The more RAM you have the more it will use. But it releases that RAM if its actually needed.
If you really run out of RAM; and have virtual memory disabled; trust me, your computer will slow
down to molasses speeds. then you will start to get red alert warnings with long memory address strings.

Did you try to disable SuperFetch yet?

In my opinion; 16GB with a fast NVME with virtual memory enabled is
plenty. if you do happen to run out of RAM, NVME SSD's are so fast you
wont see much of a difference in speed.

I did the step. What is interesting now, I have memory usage after booting about 13%, before with 16gb I was about 20%. I hope is ok
on the ram it says it would have timing cl 10, the motherboard Is set to 11-11-11 automatically.

You are avoiding the real issue here. More hardware does not fix issues, it merely hides them - often only temporarily.

Figure out what eats that RAM and you can make good decisions on what to do with it.

EarthDog · May 7, 2019

You added more ram.... it makes complete sense that when you add more but use remains around the same, the % goes down. This is basic math.

Did you enable xmp to get your timings?

utorent latest version FAULT because have it adware and bundle.With old version of 2.2.1 no more leaking memory problem.
case solved and closed.

Utorrent went downhill a long time ago and yes it is a memory hog, I personally use qbitorrent these days, no issues with this for quite a long time. So what's your ram usage at now you found the culprit and you also bought some more ram, you were told to find what was eating your ram before buying more, but you have it now so nvm

Would strongly recommend Qbittorrent instead. Its light, noncommercial and frequently updated, and no funny business.

Staying on an old Utorrent version is not exactly the best way to go.

I would do a clean install. I have the same av, use full geforce experience, other minor programs in background and opera with a pair of tabs and I'm at 3,2g. Looks like you might have some undesired visitor.

And try qbittorrent, is miles better than utorrent and no dodgy shit in it. Also try opera, with a little tinkering it does the same things as chrome.

gordon93 · May 13, 2019

yes many people recommend me qbit or deluge ,but something is strange with that clients because I can't accommodate with them
I just tried qbittorent and deluge, but both of them seem a little strange interface and can not accommodate with them. Is not like utorent. in utorent show an absolutely everything like: seed, dwl, up, peer dl, client, IP, inactive, active torent etc,etc.. on a SINGLE page .And they have some strange settings that I have not accommodated.And have some advanced settings that give me the impression they limited my upload, and can t make ratio anymore. It's limited uploading with deluge or qbit ... or maybe im wrong don t know
I mean with utorent I can make ratio very fast.With deluge or qbit it give me impression all upload is very slow equal with zero :|
