Should I enable XMP for Crucial DDR4 2400MHz 8GB in CoD?
In the middle of a heated firefight, my screen would just hitch, and that kind of latency is a death sentence in a competitive shooter. I was actually pretty hyped to try and kill this lag. The default latency on the Crucial DDR4 2400 was sitting between 95-115ns, which meant the CPU was just idling while waiting for data. I first tried lowering the graphics settings to boost FPS, but while the numbers went up, that floaty, unresponsive feeling stayed—I was totally missing the point. I went into the BIOS, enabled the XMP profile to lock it at the highest stable 2400MHz point, and bumped the voltage from 1.2V to 1.22V. In AIDA64, the latency dropped from 102ns to a much tighter 88-92ns, and the gunplay finally feels snappy. I did have some random reboots after enabling XMP at first, but loosening the timings from CL16 to CL17 fixed it completely. RAM temps are 44-50℃ and VRMs are around 60-65℃. Comparing the input lag curves, the mode switch was a success.
