Why is my Corsair Vengeance 96GB kit causing hitches in GoW?

Whenever I'm jumping between the Nine Realms, there's this jarring momentary freeze that's incredibly obvious at 4K. Even with 96GB of bandwidth, these asymmetric dies at 6000MHz were hitting 88-95ns latency, basically choking the CPU's instruction queue. I tried toggling Windows Game Mode, but that was a joke—CPU usage dropped slightly, but the stutters stayed. I eventually dove into the BIOS and bumped the SoC voltage from 1.1V to 1.25V, then loosened the tRFC from 480 to 520 to stop the signal from tripping. Checking HWiNFO, the latency finally settled between 68-74ns, and the game actually feels fluid. I did blue-screen twice trying to push the timings too hard before backing off the voltage. Temps stayed around 46-52℃ for the RAM and 58-63℃ for the VRMs. After a three-hour stress test with zero errors, it's rock steady, though the heat is a bit higher than stock.
