Does Crucial DDR4 2400 need a voltage bump to stop lag in God of War Ragnarok?
During big fights with tons of particle effects, my frame rate would just dive from 60 FPS to 25 FPS, which was absolutely infuriating. The Crucial DDR4 2400 was hitting its limit, with module temps spiking to 65-72℃, forcing the CPU's memory controller to throttle. I tried limiting the CPU power via software, but that just made the game slow and added terrible input lag—a complete waste of time. I eventually went into the BIOS and bumped the DRAM voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V and rigged up a tiny dedicated fan over the RAM slots. In the AIDA64 FPU test, the memory bandwidth finally stabilized at 32GB/s without any dips, and temps dropped to 55-61℃. I actually shorted something while installing the fan and triggered a motherboard emergency shutdown, which gave me a huge scare. CPU usage is now 60-75% and RAM stays cool at 55-61℃.
