Fixing Crucial DDR4 3200MHz latency issues in Marvel Rivals
It's honestly pathetic that a competitive game can lag because of RAM latency, especially on a standard 3200MHz kit. I found that the default timings on these Crucial sticks had a latency of 88ns when handling high-frequency small packets, which caused a noticeable delay in combat response. I tried turning on Windows Game Mode, but that did nothing but change the UI color. I had to dive into the BIOS and manually crush the primary timings to 16-18-18-36, while bumping the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V. AIDA64 showed latency dropping to 68-72ns, and the game finally felt responsive again. I tried 14-14-14 at first, but I got an immediate BSOD. I had to relax tRAS to 38 to get it stable. RAM temps are 45-52℃. Exported the config and I'm good to go.
