How to optimize Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 8GB for Avowed?

Sprinting through this fantasy world is great until the memory bandwidth fills up and the smoothness just vanishes—it's enough to make you want to rebuild your whole PC. The memory controller on my Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 8GB was fluctuating between 15-21 GB/s during heavy texture streaming, causing random loading delays of 180-250 ms. I tried disabling Windows Indexing, but the lag persisted; software tweaks were completely useless here. I entered the BIOS and locked the memory frequency to a fixed 2400 MHz interval and tweaked the voltage to 1.35V for better stability. AIDA64 showed read speeds climbing from 17.2 GB/s to 20.5 GB/s. I actually hit a blue screen right after the first lock, which only stopped once I loosened the timings from 16-16-16 to 18-18-18. RAM temps are now 42-48℃ with motherboard temps at 38-44℃. I switched the performance mode in the driver panel and it's finally stable.
