Is HyperX Savage RAM unstable in Expeditions: Rome?
While commanding my legions, I'd get these tiny, annoying micro-stutters. It's not a game-breaker, but it's super distracting. My Kingston HyperX Savage 2400MHz sticks were hitting 55,0 - 62,0°C under load, which caused occasional bit-flip checksum errors, triggering the system's memory protection. I tried increasing the virtual memory first, but that did absolutely nothing—just a waste of time. I went into the BIOS, nudged the memory voltage from 1,2V up to 1,25V, and tweaked the tRFC parameter in the XMP profile. I ran OCCT for two hours and got zero errors, and the stutters are completely gone. I did notice the RAM temps climbed by 3,0°C after the voltage bump, so I had to rearrange my case fans to get better airflow over the slots. Temps are now 48,0 - 54,0°C. After three huge battles, everything is rock solid.
