Why is my Kingbank Silver Lord DDR4 3600 leaking memory?
Building massive bases turned into a total disaster when my Kingbank Silver Lord RAM hit abnormal read/write peaks. The 1% lows were jumping all over the place, and the stuttering was just unbearable. Checking Task Manager, my physical RAM was hovering between 26.4GB - 28.1GB, but the virtual memory paging latency was a joke, hitting 112ms - 135ms. I tried the usual 'close all background apps' routine, but it did absolutely nothing to fix the drops. I finally dove into System Advanced Properties and manually locked the virtual memory to a fixed range of 16384MB - 32768MB, then tweaked the memory management priority in the Registry. Using Performance Monitor, I saw the memory commit charge stop that jagged sawtooth pattern and flatten into a smooth line, with frame times finally converging between 14ms - 18ms. I actually hit a resource allocation error the first time I set the fixed value, and it didn't even kick in until I rebooted and disabled Fast Startup. RAM temps stayed around 42℃ - 48℃ with voltage rock steady at 1.35V. After some benchmark runs, the pressure distribution is balanced, and the frame generation is finally consistent at 14ms - 18ms, though the initial setup was a bit of a struggle.
