Unlocking Kingston DDR4 2666 frequency for The Hunt game?
Seeing my memory bandwidth capped at 30GB/s felt like an insult to my hardware. The default 2666MHz speed on this Kingston kit couldn't keep up with high-res texture streaming, leaving the CPU idling and pushing load times past 20 seconds. I tried increasing the virtual memory first, which only shaved off 2 seconds—a pathetic result. I finally hit the BIOS, manually pushed the frequency to 3200MHz, and bumped the voltage to 1.35V. AIDA64 showed read speeds jumping to 42-45GB/s, and load times dropped to 12 seconds. I did run into a couple of memory training failures at first, but loosening the primary timing from 16 to 18 made it rock solid. RAM temps are now hovering between 45-52℃ with latency down to 72-78ns. The hardware monitor confirms the clock is unlocked, and the game finally loads without the endless wait.
