How to optimize G.Skill Trident Z5 6400MHz for Crysis?

Sprinting through the jungle felt... off. There was this subtle twitching in the movement that was incredibly obvious at 4K. AIDA64 showed that while the 6400 MHz bandwidth was insane, the memory controller latency was swinging between 70-90 ns, creating a bottleneck when the CPU tried to calculate all that foliage physics. I tried disabling every useless Windows service, but the jitter stayed—software tweaks are a joke compared to hardware timings. I went into the BIOS and flipped the memory mode from Gear 1 to Gear 2, then manually tightened the primary timings from 32-39-39-102 down to 30-36-36-96. Real-time monitoring showed latency stabilizing at 68-72 ns, and the jungle scenes finally felt fluid. I had two system crashes early on while tightening the timings, but bumping the voltage from 1.35V to 1.40V fixed it. RAM temps are 52-58℃ and fans are at 1200-1400 RPM. Comparison tests confirm the parameters are now perfect.
