Why is my Onda 9D4-DVH memory clock jumping in Tsushima?
Galloping through the open fields of Tsushima was a nightmare because of these sudden, tiny hitches that completely killed the immersion. I dug into the logs and found the Onda 9D4-DVH memory controller was freaking out, with frequencies bouncing wildly between 2133MHz and 2666MHz. This caused my frame times to spike between 15ms and 30ms. I tried the 'Auto Overclock' in BIOS first, but that was a joke—it just led to a BSOD the moment a combat scene started. I had to go manual. I navigated to BIOS -> Advanced -> Memory Settings and locked the frequency at 2400MHz, then bumped the DRAM voltage from 1.2V to 1.25V. Using AIDA64, I saw the latency tighten up from a messy 88-102ns down to a steady 76-82ns. One weird thing: my boot time jumped by 3 seconds until I disabled Fast Boot in Windows. Now, my RAM sits at 42-48℃ and VRMs are around 55-62℃. After a few stress tests, the fluctuations are gone. It's rock steady now, though the manual setup was a bit of a slog.
