Fixing XMP crashes on ASUS TUF B760M-PLUS in The Sims 5
Just as my virtual city was finally coming together, I got hit with the Blue Screen of Death. I almost smashed my keyboard because I knew it was a memory stability issue. With XMP at 3200MHz, the voltage on the ASUS B760M TUF was fluctuating around 1.35V, causing checksum errors while processing the massive entity data in Sims 5. I first tried dropping the frequency to 2933MHz in the BIOS, but load times increased by 40%, which was a dealbreaker. Instead, I bumped the memory voltage to 1.38V and tightened the tRFC timing from 560 down to 480. After four consecutive passes in MemTest86, the 12 errors I had before completely vanished. I did overdo it once, pushing tRFC to 420, and the system hung at the boot screen for ten minutes before I backed off to 480. Memory temps are now 42-48℃ and VRM is 55-60℃. The BIOS profile is saved, and memory stays at 43-47℃.
