How to adjust G.Skill voltage for Forza Horizon 5 stability?

The 'easy' fix is just raising the power limit in the OC tool, but that's a trap—my RAM temps shot up to 79-85℃, which actually triggered *more* aggressive throttling. Instead, I went with voltage micro-tuning and active cooling. I used a thermal stability tool to find the voltage peaks and then synced a more aggressive fan curve in the GPU software to help pull heat away from the DIMM slots. My process: Power Limit Test → Thermal Quantification → Voltage Curve Tweak → Fan Sync. Now, the frequency stays locked in the 5900-6300MHz range, the pump duty cycle climbs smoothly with the load, and input lag is a steady 10-16ms. I backed up the config file so I don't have to do this again. Lesson learned: when you hit a heat wall, stabilizing the voltage is way better than forcing more power.
