Do I need to calibrate XMP for Sims 5 on ASUS B760M?
Seeing the loading screen just vanish instantly was such a relief, but the BSODs I had before were a total headache. The ASUS B760M-PLUS Artillery was struggling with D4 3600MHz RAM because the SoC voltage was fluctuating between 1.1V-1.2V, causing the memory controller to hit 112ns of latency when handling massive save files. I tried increasing the virtual page file to 64GB first, but that actually slowed down the loading by 2 seconds—definitely not the hard-core fix I was looking for. I eventually went into the BIOS, switched XMP to manual, bumped the DRAM voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V, and locked the VCCSA voltage at 1.25V. In MemTest86, my errors dropped from 3 per hour to zero, and the loading stutters disappeared. I did have a cold-boot failure after the first voltage bump, which I fixed by loosening the tRFC timings by 10 units. VRM temps stayed between 55-62℃. I verified the mode switch in the BIOS management panel, and core temps remained between 58-64℃.
