Pushing G.Skill Trident Z memory to the absolute limit
This was a classic case of trial and error. In report #NARAKA-OC-07, I tried cranking the memory voltage from 1.35V to 1.45V for max speed. AIDA64 stress tests showed temps spiking to 52℃, triggering thermal throttling and a BSOD. I realized I couldn't just brute force it, so I went into the BIOS advanced memory timing panel, loosened the fourth and fifth timings slightly, and locked the voltage at 1.4V. It finally stabilized above 3600MHz with latency between 14ns and 16ns. Combos feel way snappier, but the system occasionally crashes when running heavy productivity apps. This setup is strictly for gaming; if you use this PC for work, drop the frequency by 200MHz for stability. The trade-off is a real headache.
