Is Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000 causing lag in Dead Space?
Having 96GB of RAM filled up was an absolute rush at first, but the random frame drops quickly killed the vibe. In a dual-channel 48GBx2 setup, the Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000 puts immense pressure on the memory controller, causing latency to swing wildly between 75ns and 92ns. I first tried the XMP 3.0 profile, and while the game launched, I got these annoying 0.5-second freezes every ten minutes. It was incredibly frustrating. I went back into the BIOS, manually clocked the RAM down to 5600MHz, and tightened the primary timings from 36-36-36-76 to 32-38-38-72. Looking at the RivaTuner curves, the frame generation time finally leveled out between 12-15ms, and the drops disappeared completely. I actually accidentally set the voltage to 1.1V while messing with timings and the PC wouldn't even post, until I bumped it back to 1.35V. RAM temps stayed at 52-58℃ and the CPU was at 65-72℃. Comparative tests proved 5600MHz is way more stable than 6000MHz for this kit. Mode switched.
