Yeah so far it has only happened in game. I was able to play Mount & Blade: Warband, which isn't too demanding. Though if I play Civ V or Cities: Skylines, it goes starts acting up.

I'm also not overclocking any of my components. I don't believe that heat is the problem as I have a monitor the tells me the CPU and GPU temperatures. Both stay under 80 C (systems is just cooled with fans). I also ran the furmark benchmark for about 10 minutes and didn't have any issues with that.

Check out this pretty well done on Intel CPUs when it comes to RAM speeds. They test both DDR3 and DDR4.

OC Club - Does Memory Speed Affect Gaming Performance; An Intel Question

quote:

After running through all of the tests, it appears that what I previously thought was an easy and clear answer is in fact more complicated. With the evidence provided I can safely say that memory can play a large role in some games over all frame rates. However, other factors like the processor, type of video card, and resolution will usually provide a bigger impact in the final frame rates. Strictly speaking of game performances, the fastest memory tested does yield better results. Some games average FPS was within a 3% margin of error and others were wildly different
