How to stop screen flickering with G.Skill Trident Z5 6400 in RE9?
When monsters jump out of the shadows, there's this annoying micro-flicker on the edges that's incredibly distracting at 4K. The G.Skill Trident Z5 6400 has insane clocks, but it seems the signal integrity was slipping during high-bandwidth texture streams, causing micro-errors. I first tried locking the frequency to 6000 MHz; it was more stable but I lost about 5 FPS. I was actually excited about this because it confirmed the frequency was the culprit. I went back into the BIOS, enabled the enhanced error correction mode, and bumped the voltage from 1.35V to 1.40V to clean up the signal. Comparing screenshots, those broken flickering lines are completely gone. I almost cooked the sticks—temps hit 62℃ during the tweak—until I slapped on a small passive heatsink. VRAM usage is 12-16GB and temps are now 52-58℃. Switched the mode in the motherboard utility and it's finally clean.
