How to stabilize overclocking on G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 6400?
When the open-world rendering hits 100% load, the G.Skill particles suffer from transient voltage drops, which causes the frequency to swing and creates visible jagged stutters. I fired up a stress test to monitor the voltage stability and tracked the core frequency, which I eventually tightened from 2432 - 2762MHz to a stable 2562 - 2638MHz. My first attempt at undervolting left some nasty power spikes. I had to stack a custom fan curve and fine-tune the voltage to keep the thermal peaks between 66 - 69℃. The heat coming off the chassis finally stopped feeling like an oven. Even so, the power draw stays high, around 174 - 200W, and the coil whine is still there at night. I verified the safety temperature curve, and it's smooth now. I backed up the config so I can recover it even after a BIOS reset. The system is finally stable. I hit a thermal wall early on, but the second calibration smoothed everything out. The input response is way better now.
