Why is my Kingbank Yin Jue RAM stuck at 2133MHz in Crysis?
During heavy explosion sequences, the game would just freeze for a split second, and my 1% lows would tank to 12 FPS. It was nerve-wracking. Even though the Kingbank Yin Jue is rated for 3600MHz, CPU-Z showed it was idling at 2133MHz, which killed my bandwidth—I was only getting 28.5GB/s. I tried switching Windows to 'Ultimate Performance' mode, but that only gave me 2 extra FPS. It was a total waste of time and just made me more anxious. I rebooted into the BIOS, found the memory config, and slammed on the XMP 2.0 profile to force it to 3600MHz. The bandwidth instantly jumped to 46.2-48.8GB/s, and those 12 FPS dips climbed back up to 34 FPS. The first time I enabled XMP, the system failed to POST, so I had to bump the voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V to get it to boot. RAM temps are now between 45-51℃. AIDA64 stress tests show it's rock solid, and the input lag is finally gone; it feels way more responsive.
