How to handle Corsair Vengeance LPX thermal issues in Star Wars Outlaws?
It's honestly pathetic that a AAA title like this makes my RAM fluctuate in frequency. The Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200 was hitting total bandwidth saturation in dense areas, leaving the CPU spinning its wheels while waiting for data. This pushed core temps to 82-88℃, triggering a slight downclock. I first tried capping the game at 60 FPS, but that just added a bunch of input lag—a terrible compromise. I went into the BIOS, tweaked the voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V, and tightened the primary timings from 16-18-18-38 to 16-16-16-36. In AIDA64, latency dropped from 82ns to 74ns, and the frequency dips vanished. I almost cooked my RAM at first, with temps hitting 62℃, until I fixed my case airflow. Now the CPU stays around 74℃ and the system is rock solid. I've backed up this config using a system tool, with RAM temps now sitting comfortably between 58-63℃.
