Fixing memory sync latency on ASUS TUF B760M-PLUS D4
It was unbelievable—walking through the fog and the screen just starts skipping frames twice a second. It felt like I was playing a slideshow. I checked the memory status on my ASUS B760M-PLUS D4 and saw the XMP frequency was bouncing between 3200 MHz and 2666 MHz, causing the CPU to just sit there waiting for data. I tried switching the Windows power plan to 'High Performance,' but that just wasted electricity and did absolutely nothing for the stutters. I went straight into the BIOS, killed the auto-overclock, and manually locked the timings to 16-18-18-36 while bumping the voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V. In AIDA64, the memory latency dropped from 85ns to a stable 72ns, and the skipping stopped. The worst part was I fat-fingered the voltage on my first try, which triggered the motherboard protection and rebooted me three times—gave me a heart attack. VRM temps are around 52-58℃. Exported the logs from Event Viewer and everything looks clean now.
