Improving memory bandwidth for Soyo SY-A320D4+ in Elden Ring?
Riding through the Lands Between is great until the memory bandwidth hits a wall and the smoothness just vanishes. It's honestly frustrating. The memory controller on the Soyo SY-A320D4+ Magic Sound Edition was fluctuating between 18-24 GB/s when loading massive textures, leading to random hitches of 100-200ms. I tried killing every background process in Windows, but the lag persisted—software tweaks were useless here. I went into the BIOS and forced the memory frequency to a locked 2400 MHz and bumped the DRAM voltage to 1.35V for stability. AIDA64 showed a jump in read speeds from 19.5 GB/s to 23.2 GB/s. I did get a couple of BSODs after the first lock, but loosening the timings from 16-16-16 to 18-18-18 fixed it. Memory temps are 45-52℃, and the board is 42-48℃. Performance mode is now locked in via the control panel.
