Kingston RAM voltage tuning and OC backup for Miles Morales?
During high-load sequences in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, my Kingston memory frequencies were fluctuating between 2450MHz - 2680MHz. I could hear the pump PWM ramping up aggressively, and the frequency curve showed clear thermal throttling. I first tried loosening the power limits in a tuning tool; the clocks went up, but the temps spiked and triggered a hard thermal shutdown. I then used a stability tool to quantify the thermal ceiling and found that jumps in the 78°C - 84°C range were triggering the downclock. I realized voltage and cooling had to be tuned together. For my second attempt, I adjusted the fan curves in the GPU software to pull more air across the DIMMs, and the core frequency finally stabilized during stress tests. I still had some voltage spikes, so I layered on a more aggressive cooling strategy. Overclocking is a tedious game of inches. Maintaining a steady frequency is a multi-step process. The case airflow was creating some weird wind noise, and my input lag was around 10ms - 15ms. Finally, the control software confirmed the OC profile was backed up and running stable. It took some fine-tuning, but the overclock is finally reliable. This backup plan is a lifesaver.
