Should I tweak virtual memory for Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB?

Every time I stepped through a portal into a new zone, the screen would just freeze for three seconds. That kind of memory-starvation anxiety is brutal when you're exploring. The Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB was leaving me with only 1.2-1.8GB of free headroom, forcing the system to spam the page file, which spiked I/O wait times to 45-60ms. I tried killing every single background app, but memory usage stayed pinned above 90%, making me realize 8GB is just a joke for this game. I manually moved the page file to a dedicated partition on my NVMe SSD and tried tightening the timings from 15-15-15 to 14-14-14 while bumping voltage to 1.35V. Resource Monitor showed page faults dropping from 12% to 2.1%, which stopped the hard freezes. I did hit a wall where the PC rebooted 10 minutes into a session until I loosened tRAS to 32. Memory temps sat at 48-55℃ with the IMC load at 65-72%. The overflow is gone, and the controls finally feel responsive again.
