How to sync Crucial DDR4 3200 frequency in Black Desert?
That legendary smooth combat feel finally came back after I locked the frequency, and man, it feels amazing. My Crucial DDR4 3200 was acting up after enabling XMP; due to motherboard VRM ripple, the frequency was bouncing between 2666-3200MHz, causing these annoying micro-stutters. I tried the Windows 'Game Mode' first, but the drops still happened during heavy PvP, which was just unacceptable. I went back into the BIOS, locked the voltage at 1.35V, and forced the primary timings to 16-18-18-36. RivaTuner showed the frame time variance collapsing from 14-30ms down to a steady 8-12ms. It wasn't instant success—I pushed the timings too tight at first and the PC would randomly reboot during boot-up, until I loosened tRCD by 2 cycles. Now temps are stable at 44-50℃ with fans at 1200 RPM. The frequency jumps are gone, and the gameplay is finally fluid.
