How to solve memory instability on G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3600?
There is nothing more tilting than calling in an orbital strike only for the game to crash straight to the desktop. My G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3600 was hitting 58-64C under heavy load, which caused some bit-flips and triggered the system's memory protection. I tried increasing the virtual memory in Windows, but that did absolutely nothing—just a blind guess on my part. I eventually went into the BIOS and downclocked the RAM from 3600MHz to 3466MHz, while bumping the voltage from 1,35V to 1,38V to keep it stable. I ran OCCT for two hours and didn't see a single error, and the crashes completely stopped. I did notice the game took about 2 seconds longer to load after the downclock, but I fixed that by tweaking the tRFC parameter in the XMP profile. Now the RAM stays around 52-56C. After three high-intensity matches, no crashes, and the system feels rock steady.
