How to fix RAM instability on Soyo SY-A320D4+?
During massive skill clashes, the game would just hitch for a split second, and it's incredibly noticeable on a 144Hz monitor. Monitoring showed the RAM on the Soyo SY-A320D4+ was bouncing between 2133MHz - 2666MHz, causing CPU cache hit latency to swing between 18ms - 35ms. I tried the 'High Performance' power plan in Windows, but while temps went up by 3℃, the stuttering stayed—a reminder that software tweaks can't fix hardware bottlenecks. I went into the BIOS, manually locked the memory frequency at 2400MHz, and set the primary timings to 16-18-18-36. In RivaTuner, the frame time variance tightened from 15ms - 32ms down to 12ms - 18ms. I actually tried XMP 2666 before this, but the system just kept rebooting randomly until I backed it down to 2400MHz. RAM temps are sitting at 38℃ - 45℃. Ran a final benchmark to verify the stability, and the parameters are now verified.
