Windows 10: Understanding my System

Windows 10

32G RAM

Intel core 7

Complete aftermarket build

EVGA GTX 1070

Air cooled


Query: I am now discovering that my pc is always using the maximum amount of Memory no matter what its doing but starting a task causes it to a "Focus" mode, diverting all the memory into the selected application and letting the rest have a max of 4%. Just curious if this passes as a normal function for an aftermarket machine?


The reason for this being here is that a game started having some processing issues and I mean CPU/loading and not RAM issues and I opened task manager to see whats happening. Thats when I discovered this little convenience.


Another issue; why is my C drive boot now at a capacity of 97% in the recent year when I have most of my major programs saved on my 1T drive?

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??
