Fixing G.Skill Trident Z 3600MHz sync lag in Frostpunk 2
As my city grew on the ice, the camera pans started tearing slightly. It was actually exciting because I knew I could push my XMP settings. The default profile for these Trident Z sticks had a 12-18ms sync lag when processing massive simulation data, making frame times erratic. I tried lowering the graphics, but the hitching remained—classic mistake. I went into the BIOS, locked the frequency at 3600MHz, and bumped the voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V for extra headroom. Benchmarks showed read speeds jumping from 42GB/s to 48GB/s, and the stutters vanished. I tried pushing for 3800MHz, but the system wouldn't even POST. I had to loosen timings just to boot, so I settled back at 3600MHz. Temps are 52-58℃. Switched the BIOS profile and it's finally smooth.
