ROG Maximus VIII Hero Alpha Ram problems.

[Oxmo81]

My first post and my first ROG motherboard.
Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Alpha Motherboard. 2x Kingston HyperX Savage DDR4 2800MHz 16BG KIT total 32GB Ram.

The problem is. Everything works fine until I'll try to play a game.
Then everything seems fine, but after a few minutes I get FPS drop's.
Have tried XMP Profile 1 and 2, manually set timings and voltage. And other settings in the bios, but nothing seems to help.
I always loade optimal defults before changing settings in bios. Some settings seems to speed up windows, like faster startup and faster startup for games. I have newer had a BSOD with the ROG motherboard.
Have also tryed 1,2 and 4 ram chip sepratly and in difrent ram slot's.

I had a Saberthooth Z170 Motherboard and used the same ram, but this motherboard was DOA and I got RMA.
Is it posible this motherboard did some thing bad with my ram modules?

Thank you in advance for your help 🙂

Well I do have Sonic Suite 2. I need sound 😛

Try disabling the Sonic Studio from start up just to test, you will still have sound, have you ran LatencyMon, it could be a number of things causing this the lag

I have disable Sonic Studio, and are running LatencyMon now. But not shure how to understand LatencyMon and how it works.
But it reported total hard pagefault count to: 112 at 10 minutes of running.

Rigth after starting Dying Ligth LatencyMon can report:
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You ar likely to experiance buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC rutines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for to long. Also one or more ISR routines thet belong to a driver running in your system apperar to be executing for to long. At least one detected problem appears to be network related to be network related. In case you ar using a WLAN adapter, try to disable itto get better results. One problem may be realated to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in control panel and Bios setup. Chec for BOIS updates.

How can this info help?
I'll shal try to do what it says.

No I have not eny Asus software innstalled. I feel that Most of Asus software is bloatware, and not necessary.

Which OS are you running? And are you using the latest drivers available?

[Chino]

Do you have any of the ASUS programs installed?

[Oxmo81]

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Newest drivers I can find.

I also noticed from your system specifications that you're running 2 monitors. Have you tried just running one monitor?

[Oxmo81]

I have not tryed to run only 1 moitor. I can try, but the second monitor is only used for simple things like steam and skype. Games is only running on 1 monitor.

I'm not using WLAN. But it is enable in Bios. I'll try to disable it in Bios. And i'll shal disable CPU throttling. But how to dress the DPC and ISR I do not know.
