How to fix Ultra 9 285K instability and crashes in Destiny 2?
During massive Boss fights, the game would just lock up and crash after an hour of play, which is honestly infuriating. The new architecture of the Ultra 9 285K suffers from a 0.05V drop during transient power spikes, causing instruction errors and triggering a system protect crash. I tried 'Power Saver' mode to keep temps down, but my FPS tanked to 60, which was a desperate and useless move. I finally went into the BIOS, switched Load-Line Calibration (LLC) from 'Auto' to 'Manual', and nudged the VCCSA voltage from 1.20V to 1.25V. In Cinebench R23 stress tests, the core voltage stabilized from a 1.12 - 1.25V swing to a tight 1.21 - 1.23V, and the crashes stopped. My CPU temp spiked to 95℃ immediately after the voltage bump, so I had to rebuild my AIO fan curve to pull it back to 82 - 85℃. I've backed up the voltage profile now, and the input response is incredibly snappy.
