Why does my ADATA DDR5 4800 keep hitching in The Hunt?
The moment the high-fidelity forest scenes load, the frame just freezes for a few microseconds. It felt exactly like those old single-channel memory conflicts from a decade ago. Out of the box, the ADATA DDR5 4800 latency sits around 90-110ns, but I noticed instruction blocks hitting 18-25ms when hammering vertex data. I wasted an hour trying the 'High Performance' power plan in Windows, which did absolutely nothing—total rookie mistake. I eventually dove into the BIOS, bumped the DRAM voltage from 1.1V to 1.25V, and tightened the primary timings from 40-40-40-77 down to 36-36-36-72. AIDA64 showed the latency finally converging to a steady 82-88ns. It wasn't a smooth ride, though; I hit two random BSODs right after the first tweak. I had to loosen tRAS from 72 to 76 to actually get it stable. Now it runs cool between 42-48℃. Ran three full passes of MemTest86 with zero errors. Finally, the scheduling parameters are locked in.
