I bought Corsair Vengeance 8 GB Kit PC3-15000, 1866 MHz and I have them now installed to my Maximus III Formula. Before this I had Kingston Valueram 4GB (2x2Gt) 1333MHz DDR3. And the problem is now that after I installed new memory RAM usage is 38-50% all the time. So what would be wrong now? Any ideas?



Intel Core i5-650 3.20GHz LGA1156

Asus Maximus III Formula Intel P55 LGA1156

Gigabyte GV-R585OC-1GD Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5

Corsair HX620W HX-sarjan 620W ATX
 
Have you checked TaskManager to see what program is utilizing the Ram?
 
There are 68 processes and Steam uses Ram most (91 748K). I just reinstalled my windows 7 yesterday.


64-bit I assume.
Is windows installing updates in the background?

In win7 64bit w/ 8gb ram, running multiple autoCad drawings, multiple browser windows, Outlook, Media Player, etc... I hit around 3.5-4 GB usage.
