How to fix memory spikes on Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2400?
While sprinting through the streets of Kyoto, I noticed these periodic micro-freezes that were absolutely infuriating for a technical player like me. My Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2400 only has 8GB of capacity, and when handling modern game assets, the memory usage instantly hits 96%, forcing the system into a frantic disk-swapping loop. I saw frame generation times jump to 82ms in Resource Monitor. I first tried killing every unnecessary background service, which freed up about 600MB, but the game still choked during complex combat—that simple cleanup was a total waste of time. I then dove into Advanced System Settings, manually locked the virtual memory to a fixed 16GB value, and disabled system memory compression. In Resource Monitor, the hard page faults plummeted from 1100/sec to just 38/sec, and the fluidity returned. I actually made the mistake of putting the page file on a mechanical HDD first, which spiked system response times to 280ms, until I moved it back to the SSD. Memory temps stayed around 35-40℃ with disk latency between 0.9-1.3ms. Benchmarks confirm the swap efficiency is way better now, and the config is saved.
