Stabilizing Corsair Vengeance DDR5 for Black Myth Wukong?
During those cinematic close-ups of the Monkey King, my RAM temps would spike to 68℃, forcing the clock to drop from 6000MHz to 5600MHz. The performance dip was immediately noticeable. The Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000 was basically hitting a thermal saturation point where the PCB couldn't shed heat fast enough. I tried lowering the CPU power limit, which only dropped temps by 2℃ but cost me 10 FPS—that just made me want to try a more hardcore undervolt. I went into the BIOS, dropped the memory voltage to 1.32V, and flipped my case fans from 'Silent' to 'Performance' mode. The monitoring panel showed the frequency locking at 6000MHz, and the drops vanished. I had one reboot during startup after the voltage drop, so I had to set the timings back to 36-36-36-76. Temps are now a cool 52-58℃. Switched the profile to 'Extreme' in the software, and it's been rock solid since.
