How to fix thread scheduling lag in Frostpunk 2 on DDR5?
Every time the population broke 5,000, the game started hitching like crazy—this kind of basic scheduling issue is just pathetic. With the Gloway Celestial running at 6000MHz, the VDD voltage on the memory controller was dropping by as much as 0.06V under load, causing the CPU cores to bounce wildly between 4.2GHz and 3.8GHz. I tried enabling Ultimate Performance mode in Windows, but that just pushed my CPU to 92℃ and caused thermal throttling—completely the wrong move. I went into the BIOS, set the Load-Line Calibration (LLC) to Mode 3, and nudged the memory voltage to 1.40V. In Cinebench R23, my multi-core score jumped by 600 points and the frequency curve flattened out. I actually had a boot failure the first time I tried Mode 3, and I had to back off the voltage offset by 0.01V to get it stable. CPU temps now sit at 75-82℃ and RAM at 55-60℃. Exported the optimized voltage profile via BIOS backup.
