How to fix memory leaks with Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400?
As my base grew larger, my FPS slowly bled from 90 down to a pathetic 35. This is a textbook memory leak, and it was driving me crazy. My 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400 was being eaten alive by poor game code, with available space shrinking from 25GB to 4GB in three hours, forcing the system to use the slow swap file. I tried restarting the save, but the lag came back within ten minutes, which was just a loop of frustration. I went into the BIOS, locked the frequency at 6400MHz, nudged the voltage to 1.38V, and set a massive 48GB virtual memory page. In RTSS, my 1% lows jumped from 12 FPS to a much healthier 38-44 FPS. I did have some random memory parity errors when I first enabled XMP, but loosening the tRAS to 84 fixed it completely. Temps are holding at 54-60℃. The game finally feels fluid again, though the leak is still there—I've just given the system enough breathing room to handle it.
