How to fix loading stutters on Onda H610M for Nioh?

During those high-stakes boss load screens, the game would just completely freeze for three to five seconds, which is absolutely lethal in a fast-paced fight. The memory controller on the Onda H610M is tuned way too conservatively out of the box, causing memory latency to swing wildly between 95ns - 110ns, which just can't keep up with real-time asset decompression. I initially tried bumping the page file up to 32GB in Windows, but that actually made loading times 15% slower, which left me totally baffled. I eventually dove into the BIOS, tightened the primary timings from 22-22-22-52 down to 18-20-20-42, and nudged the DRAM voltage from 1.1V to 1.35V. Using AIDA64, I saw read speeds jump from 3800 MB/s to 4400 MB/s. It wasn't a smooth ride though; the system BSOD'd three times until I backed off the tRAS to 46 for stability. Now, RAM temps sit at 42℃ - 48℃ and VRMs stay around 55℃ - 62℃. The bandwidth is finally steady, but I'm still wary of pushing it further.
