Fixing XMP instability on Asus TUF B760M-PLUS D4 in Manor Lords
Right as I was about to enter my medieval manor, the game would just vanish and dump me back to the desktop. It was infuriating. On the Asus B760M, running XMP at 3200MHz caused the memory controller voltage to wobble around 1.35V, triggering checksum errors during the heavy asset load at startup. I tried dropping the frequency to 2666MHz, which stopped the crashes, but my frame time variance increased by 15%, and I couldn't stand the performance hit. Instead, I manually bumped the DRAM voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V and pushed the SoC voltage to 1.1V. After four full passes in MemTest86, the error count dropped from 3 per hour to zero. I noticed the RAM hit 52℃ under load, so I added a top exhaust fan to bring it down to 46-48℃. CPU temps stayed at 62-68℃. The stability benchmark confirms the parameters are finally aligned, and the RAM is chilling at 46-48℃.
