Should I change RAM frequency for Pacific Drive on HyperX Savage?

It's an absolute rush when the car is tearing across the wasteland and every input is pixel-perfect. Before this fix, my Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB was bouncing between 2133MHz and 2400MHz, causing system response times to jitter between 18-45ms. I tried increasing the virtual memory page file to 16GB, but that just introduced annoying disk-swapping stutters—a compromise that left me totally disappointed. I went into the BIOS, hard-locked the frequency at 2400MHz, and nudged the voltage to 1.22V. My latency tester now shows a steady 6-11ms, and every click feels crisp. I did hit two Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) right after locking the frequency, but loosening tRAS from 72 to 76 killed the instability. RAM temps are now 40-46℃ and CPU is 62-68℃. Switched the profiles in the control panel and it's finally smooth.
