Windows 10: Win 10 SCU Clean Install?

@Bree

This still seems kind of redundant to me.
They could have released Windows Home with all the same features that Pro offers.
Without having to remove any features.
It would just be Windows and Windows Enterprise.
Instead, they divided the market to make money.
I don't see the need, to have all these different versions of the same thing.

 

I agree with others in that thread, and think you should just wait and clean install the Spring Creators Update.

One thing that jumps out at me in your specs is the Kingston memory, it may be slowing your Corsair memory down.

If you mix memory with different speeds, all the memory will run at the slower speed.

What speed does Task Manager show your memory is running at ?

 

@AddRAM

Yes, without a doubt.
I also feel that's the best plan.
Thanks AddRAM, for taking the time to look over that thread. *Smile

 

I ran into that last night. I had 8GB extra of Kingston and put it in. It slowed me down so much but I think it was because the ram was not dual channel. It was a good 2-3 second difference loading things like Computer Management and GeForce Experience. I tested a couple more but saw enough coupled with the non dual channel to just take it back out.

 

@AddRAM


Yes,
I'm taking a big hit on my memory's speed.
As you can see form my screenshot below.



The Corsair will run at 3000 MHz, with XMP enabled, while the Kingston runs at stock DDR4 speed 2133.
I sometimes need the extra 8GB of ram, when I'm using Photoshop, Gimp, rendering stuff in Blender or editing videos.
I haven't noticed any real slowdown.
Although it "seemed" faster using only the Corsair 3000 NMz RAM.
The Kingston RAM was sitting in the closet, gathering dust.
I figured I might as well install it and get an extra 8GB.
I know 3000 MHz is more than 2133 MHz, but do you really think I should remove the 2 4GB Kingston modules?

 

I would, having 16GB of 3000 MHz should be fine for anything you do.

If you have any issues you could always buy another set of the Corsair and sell the Kingston *Smile

But if you`re ok with the Kingston in there, then it can wait.

The price of Memory (along with every other computer part today) is insane *Mad

 

@AddRAM

No you didn't, just mention the price of RAM!
It's non compos mentis!
I did want to add another 16GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz. *cry
I won the Corsair memory I now have installed, for $90 on an eBay auction about 8 months ago.
It's now up to nearly $200!!!

 

Yeah the price of RAM right now is like the stuff is made of diamonds and gold.

 

Yep, what I bought for $300 at Corsair is now at $460, ridiculous *Confused

DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz C15 Memory Kit


My initial plan was to add the 32GB set from the Z170 to the X299 and buy this for the Z170, but it`s just not worth it.

Nearly $300 for 16GB *Doh

Remember those days, when RAM was cheap? *cry
What happen to those good old days? *cry

 

I have an entire shoebox filled with DDR2 and DDR3, but it's useless 1GB and 2GB sticks.

 

Yeah I have about 12GB of older DDR and 8GB of DDR 3 which I would love to stick in my old old 2nd PC but its DDR 2 which I have no extra, only the 4GB in it. At the time that 4GB was awesome lol.

@AddRAM
I can remember when having 8GB was considered overkill.

"You'll never use that much RAM" they said... *Huh

By the way.
I removed the 2x4GB Kingston Ram modules and enabled the Corsair XMP Profile in the BIOS. *Wink

 

@Geosammy

I bet you can see a difference in loading some things. I always test with Computer Management and Geforce Experience (nvidia ofc). They seemed to load so much slower with that extra 8GB last night.

 

@Access Denied

I'm not generally a gambling man, but how much are you willing to bet? *chuckle

I honestly haven't noticed anything and I've been running at 2133 MHz for a few months now.
It must be me, because 3000 MHz is much faster then 2133.

The RAM that you installed last night, was really slow, when you compare it to what DDR4 stock speeds are today.
You said that it was old RAM, right?
