Why does my Asgard Snow DDR5 6400 jitter in Mass Effect?
Whenever I hit fast travel between systems, the screen just twitches. I checked RTSS and the frame times were jumping wildly between 11ms and 28ms. With the Asgard Snow DDR5 6400 32GB kit, the memory controller was fluctuating around 1.35V, which pushed the instruction latency into a messy 75-92ns range. I tried the Windows 'Ultimate Performance' power plan, but that was a complete waste of time—surface-level software tweaks can't fix hardware clock drift. I felt totally stuck until I dove into the BIOS and manually locked the VDD voltage at 1.38V, then loosened the tRFC from 480 to 520. Suddenly, the frame time graph went from a jagged mess to a flat line. It wasn't a smooth ride though; I hit two random reboots at first, and I only got it stable after bumping tRAS from 76 up to 80. Now, my RAM sits between 46-52℃ and the CPU stays around 62-68℃. The stutters are gone, but man, the trial and error was a nightmare.
