Solving Kingbank Black Blade DDR5 6000 issues in Cities: Skylines II
This is insane—even with 64GB of RAM, I hit a bandwidth wall while simulating a mega-city. These MODs are absolute hardware killers. The Kingbank Black Blade DDR5 6000 hit a massive instruction pile-up around 60GB/s - 70GB/s, causing my FPS to dive from 45 down to 12. It was enough to make me want to smash my keyboard. I tried slowing down the simulation speed, but it killed the real-time feel of the game, which was just depressing. I eventually went into the BIOS, crushed the tRFC sub-timing down to 480, and bumped the VDDQ to 1.4V to stabilize the signal. In comparison tests, the frame generation time dropped from 80ms to 35ms - 42ms. I did get two random BSODs during boot after tightening tRFC, but loosening tRAS to 88 fixed the instability. RAM temps are holding at 52°C - 58°C. I saved the config via a system snapshot, but the heat is still a bit concerning.
