Why is Asgard Snow DDR5 6400 32GB lagging in RDR2 4K?

Absolute torture. This 4K MOD pushes the visuals to the limit, but my frame rate was bouncing between 60 and 30 FPS in a weird, periodic cycle. The memory controller on the Asgard Snow DDR5 6400 32GB kit was tanking from 6400MHz down to 4800MHz when handling those massive textures, basically cutting my CPU throughput in half. I tried enabling 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in the drivers, but the heat just caused more frequent downclocking—a total fail that left me just shaking my head. I eventually went into the BIOS and manually locked the frequency at 6000MHz, while bumping the VDD voltage to 1.4V to ensure it wouldn't dip under load. In GPU-Z, the memory clock finally became a flat line, and the frame drops vanished. I tried locking it at 6400MHz first, but the system just froze on the loading screen until I dialed it back to 6000MHz. Temps are now sitting between 58-64℃ with fans spinning at 2000 RPM. After exporting the optimized BIOS parameters, the game finally feels responsive and snappy.
