How to fix Corsair Vengeance DDR4 stutters in Elden Ring?
Whenever I fought in complex areas, the FPS would suddenly tank below 40, and the frequency of these drops was just pathetic for a 3200MHz kit. Even though Corsair Vengeance is marketed as stable, the memory controller couldn't maintain those aggressive timings at low voltage, leading to instant data bottlenecks. I tried turning off every visual effect in the game, but the drops were still there, and that felt like a total waste of time. I went into BIOS, bumped the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V, and loosened tRFC from 560 to 600. After an hour of OCCT memory stress testing with zero errors, the instant dips were completely gone. I did notice the PC occasionally booting straight into BIOS after the voltage bump, but updating the motherboard microcode fixed that. Temps are holding at 48-54℃. I used a BIOS export tool to back up these settings so I don't have to do this again.
