How to fix memory instability on ASUS TUF B760M-PLUS WIFI D4?

While flying low over central London, the screen just froze out of nowhere, followed by some brutal stuttering that killed the immersion. I checked HWiNFO and saw the DRAM voltage on my ASUS TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS WIFI D4 swinging wildly around 1.2V, which basically choked the memory controller while it was trying to chew through massive terrain datasets. I tried just enabling the XMP profile at first, but that was a disaster—three consecutive BSODs right out of the gate. Totally frustrating. I eventually dove into the BIOS Advanced Mode, bumped the DRAM voltage from 1.20V to 1.35V, and locked the VCCSA voltage at 1.15V. In AIDA64 stress tests, my read latency tightened up from a messy 82-95ns to a much cleaner 71-76ns. My CPU temp jumped by about 5℃ initially, but I managed to pull it back to the 68-72℃ range after tweaking the fan curves. Memory temps stayed chill between 42-48℃, and the throughput finally stopped jumping around. I saved the whole mess as a user profile in the BIOS, and it's been smooth sailing since.
