How to fix frame drops on Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB?
There is nothing worse than that suffocating feeling when the screen just freezes the moment you trigger a massive ultimate attack. My single stick of Kingston HyperX Savage 8GB DDR4 2400 was getting absolutely crushed, with bandwidth utilization hitting 92-98%, causing frame times to swing wildly between 16ms and 45ms. I tried bumping the virtual memory to 16GB in Windows, but that was a waste of time; it didn't stop the stutters, it just made them feel more random. I went back into the BIOS, forced the frequency from 2133MHz up to 2400MHz, and nudged the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V. Using RTSS, I saw the frame times finally settle into a clean 14-18ms range. I actually hit a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) right after the frequency bump, but it stabilized once I loosened the timings from 16-16-16 to 17-18-18. Memory temps hovered between 42-48℃. The stuttering is gone, and the combat feels responsive again.
