How to stop Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 8GB from stuttering in cities?
Walking through the city felt glitchy, with frame times jumping erratically between 16ms and 42ms. Looking at my logs, the default 17-17-17 timings on the Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 8GB were causing high latency of 85-98ns when processing complex NPC logic. I tried enabling low latency mode in the drivers, but that was just a band-aid and didn't touch the underlying clock offset, which felt incredibly frustrating. I had to dive into the BIOS, bumped the memory voltage from 1.2V to 1.25V, and tightened the primary timings to 16-16-16-36. Monitoring via RTSS, the frame time curve finally flattened into a straight line. It wasn't a smooth ride though; I had two random reboots until I loosened tRAS from 36 to 38. Memory temps stayed between 38-44℃ and the CPU was at 62-68℃. MemTest86 shows zero errors now, and the timing glitch is finally dead.
