Should I lock the memory frequency for Asgard Snow DDR5 6400?
Sneaking through the ruins looked gorgeous, but it was ruined by these random, jarring frame drops. The frequency scaling on the Asgard Snow DDR5 6400 32GB was way too aggressive, bouncing between 4800MHz and 6400MHz during multi-threaded loads, which sent my frame times from 12ms up to 38ms instantly. I tried killing every single background app in Windows, but while the CPU usage dropped, the frequency jitter stayed—it was a total waste of effort. I eventually went into the BIOS, disabled Global C-States, and manually locked the memory frequency to a flat 6400MHz. Checking RTSS, the frame time variance shrunk from a messy 10-35ms to a tight 13-16ms, and the game finally felt fluid. The only downside was that the idle memory temp jumped by 6℃ after disabling C-States, but I just tweaked my fan curve to compensate. Now the sticks sit at 55-61℃ and the motherboard is around 65-71℃. The scheduling is finally stable, though the idle power draw is slightly higher than I'd like.
