Optimizing Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 for Elden Ring?
Exploring the Lands Between was a mess, with frames jumping wildly between 45 and 60—it was enough to make me shake. The auto-voltage on the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 has a response lag of about 12ms, causing the frequency to bounce between 3200MHz and 2666MHz under sudden load. I tried turning on Windows Game Mode, but that just made my background updates more aggressive and did nothing for the stuttering—totally useless. I finally went into the BIOS, switched memory voltage from Auto to a locked 1.38V, and disabled all CPU power-saving states. The jagged sawtooth wave in my RTSS frame time graph instantly flattened into a straight line. I did have a scare where the system BSOD'd ten minutes into the game after the first voltage lock, but loosening the timings from CL16 to CL18 fixed it. Memory temps are now 42-48℃ and the VRM area is 60-66℃. Performance analysis confirms the swings are gone, with temps holding at 42-48℃.
