Right, so this one has some issues and a back story. I bought the CPU from a now banned scammer here:
The CPU is faulty and that was not mentioned but see the bad deals thread here:
carbonite.co.za
I have tested the CPU and it is turbo-ing as it should, and does not blue screen and performs as intended, except for the part where ONLY ONE Memory Channel works on this CPU. Due to a blown part of the CPU (See Screenshort, see what I did there? down below, or in the bad deals thread) on the back of the CPU. Tested it in games like Valheim, PubG, the Modern Warfare's and it works as you would expect but seeing as my mobo only has two slots, and me only able to utilize one, I resorted back to my i5 to have my 16GB ram back as these games are memory hungry. Now my theory is, if you have a board with 4 ram slots, then 16Gb is achievable again as it will still read all the slots on the one channel, but ignore the other 2 on the other channel.
