Does SOC voltage solve Crucial DDR5 crashes in Unreal Engine 5?
It's honestly pathetic that 'industry standard' RAM would choke on Nanite geometry and throw parity errors; the instability was just frustrating. My Crucial DDR5 4800MHz 16GB was seeing the memory controller voltage dip around 1.1V, which led to a full-blown BSOD whenever I loaded massive materials. I tried the 'safe' route by disabling all acceleration in the BIOS, but that was a disaster—latency jumped to 110ns and render times doubled. I finally manually pushed the SOC voltage from Auto to 1.2V and loosened the timings from 40-40-40-77 to 40-42-42-80. After 4 full passes of MemTest86, the error count finally dropped from 15 to 0, and the demo stopped crashing. I did try 1.3V at one point, but the RAM hit 65℃, so I had to slap a tiny heatsink on it to bring it back down to 52℃. CPU temps are staying around 60-68℃. I've backed up the BIOS profile now so I don't have to do this again, but it's a bit of a hassle for basic stability.
