How to fix bandwidth bottlenecks for Crucial DDR5 4800?

It's an absolute rush seeing thousands of units clash on screen, but having your FPS dive from 90 down to 30 in a split second is a total mood killer. The Crucial DDR5 4800 was choking on the massive amount of unit data in single-channel mode, leaving the CPU idling while waiting for memory. I tried adding more virtual memory first, but the frame swings stayed just as bad—another useless attempt that proved the problem was the physical hardware path. I reseated the sticks into slots 2 and 4 to force dual-channel mode and tweaked the tRFC timings in the BIOS. In 3DMark's CPU physical test, my bandwidth jumped from 32 GB/s to a steady 58-62 GB/s, and the stuttering vanished. The system took a good 30 seconds for memory training on the first boot after the swap, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but it settled down once I hit Windows. RAM temps stayed between 42-48℃ and VRM temps hit 58-64℃. The performance panel confirms the bandwidth is now maxed out at 58-62 GB/s.
