How to optimize Kingbank DDR5 6000 XMP for Metro Exodus?
With 64GB of RAM, this game should have been smooth as silk, but the random stutters in the winter levels were just pathetic. The XMP profile on the Kingbank Black Blade DDR5 6000 has terrible compatibility with some boards, causing the memory controller to spam error corrections at 6000MHz, which spiked my frame times to 50ms. I tried Windows High Performance mode, but all that did was make my fans louder while the lag stayed—a complete waste of time. I went into the BIOS, manually dropped the XMP frequency to 5800MHz, and nudged the voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V. In AIDA64, the system ran for five hours without a single error, and the FPS stabilized between 110-120. I actually tried updating the RAM firmware first, but it made the sticks invisible to the BIOS until I cleared the CMOS. Now, RAM temps are 52-58℃ and the CPU is 70-78℃. The input lag is gone and it's finally playable.
