Solving memory parity errors for HyperX Savage in Tekken 8
When I'm trying to time a fast combo, the game just freezes for a millisecond. In a fighting game, that's the difference between winning and losing. I found that the XMP profile for the HyperX Savage DDR4 2400 has some compatibility quirks on certain boards, leading to a roughly 0.1% error rate during high-frequency bursts. I tried increasing the virtual memory, but that did absolutely nothing for hardware-level parity errors and just wasted disk I/O. I updated the BIOS to the latest version, re-loaded the XMP profile, and manually bumped the voltage to 1.36V to tighten things up. MemTest86 went from 8 errors per pass to zero. I did notice the boot time increased by about 5 seconds after the update, but disabling the memory training delay in BIOS fixed that. RAM temps are a cool 40-46℃. Frame time analysis shows 1% lows are now up to 55 FPS, and the experience is finally seamless.
