Should I change Gear mode for Gloway Celestial DDR5 6000MHz 32GB?
This is unbelievable—I bought 6000MHz RAM but it felt like 4800MHz in-game. The Gloway Celestial DDR5 6000MHz 32GB couldn't stay stable in Gear 1 with XMP on, forcing the CPU memory controller to constantly run error corrections, which made frame times jump wildly between 12ms and 45ms. I wasted time updating every single Windows driver, which only made the PC boot a second faster but did nothing for the lag—it was infuriating. I finally went into the BIOS, forced the mode to Gear 2, and bumped the VDDQ voltage from 1.25V to 1.35V. In RTSS, the frame time curve finally flattened into a straight line between 11-14ms. I noticed a 5GB/s drop in bandwidth after switching to Gear 2, so I manually pushed the frequency to 6200MHz to make up for it. Memory temps were 55-63℃, and the heatsinks felt hot to the touch. MemTest86 passed 4 cycles with zero errors, and the response now feels instant.
