Fixing Asgard Thor DDR5 6400 stability in Dead Space?
Just as the oppressive atmosphere hits its peak, the frame rate would tank to 30 FPS, turning the excitement into pure frustration. Looking at the hardware, the Asgard Thor kit was running at 6400MHz, but the memory controller was hitting 12ms - 18ms of sync latency during heavy texture loads. I tried DLSS Quality mode first, but the edges started flickering, which was a total dealbreaker. I went back into the BIOS, reloaded the XMP profile, bumped the RAM voltage from 1.35V to 1.40V, and pushed the SoC voltage to 1.20V. In the CPU-Z memory tab, latency tightened from 78ns to 66ns, and the in-game drops vanished. I did notice some slight coil whine during idle after the voltage bump, but switching the motherboard power plan to 'Balanced' killed it. RAM temps stayed at 54℃ - 60℃, and the VRM hit 62℃ - 68℃. The in-game monitor shows temps holding steady at 58℃ - 63℃.
