KSP 32 vs KSP 646

That was due to Unity's very bad implementation of 64-but, which most people find has been fixed. Regardless - it won't cost you anything to test your memory, and might solve a few problems!

Yeah. I don't quite know how to do that, though... I'll look into it.

Is it the ram who get hot? CPU will run hot while playing KSP as its very cpu intensive.

I think it's the CPU. I do have a cheap cooling pad, and that helps a small bit.

If you're into building or modifying your own rig, you may want to see if the CPU heat sink doesn't have too much cool paste applied. A thick slab of it will make cooling a lot less efficient to the point where it may not be able to dump all generated heat anymore, and I've seen plenty of factory or store assembled rigs (or heat sinks that come with paste pre-applied) where they applied it way to generous. Just a thin film to make sure the CPU and heat sink connect all over without gaps is all you need.

Also, if it's been around for a while, get some compressed air and blow out the dust between the sink fins. Just make sure to put your finger on the fan to prevent it turning or you may damage the bearings when the compressed air spins it really fast.

Considering the OPer indicated that 2 computers were available, then the only logical answer is to run both builds simultaneously! Badum tish!

seriously though, why is this a question? Run the build that was built for the machine in question. Regardless of memory.

Do an internet search for memtest and download the latest version for Win10, read the instructions and run it.

(Other memory test programs are available.)

Thanks.
