Fixing ADATA ValueRAM DDR5 4800 instability in RE Village
Just as I was entering the village, the PC would just reboot. It's honestly pathetic that low-frequency memory can be this unstable. The ADATA ValueRAM DDR5 4800 was hitting a 0.07V drop during heavy loads, causing the system to hang. I tried disabling hardware acceleration in Windows, but that was a waste of time—it didn't stop the crashes and actually cost me 8 FPS. I went into the BIOS and manually pushed the VDD voltage to 1.15V and locked the SoC voltage at 1.1V. After 6 hours of Prime95, the system was rock solid. I actually tried 1.2V first, but the memory temp spiked to 62℃, triggering a thermal throttle, so I backed it off to 1.15V. Now temps are stable at 48-54℃ with fans at 1500 RPM. I used the motherboard export tool to save this profile so I don't have to do this again. Fans are steady at 1500 RPM.
