Why is my KingBank DDR5 6000 lagging during scene transitions in KCD?
Whenever I hit a loading screen for a medieval town, the progress bar would just hang at 90%, which honestly felt like being back in the single-channel RAM days. Even with the high bandwidth of the KingBank Black Blade DDR5 6000, memory latency was idling between 85-105ns when handling small files. I tried switching to the High Performance power plan in Windows, but the read speeds didn't budge—that's when I realized voltage was the real culprit. I went into BIOS and switched the SoC voltage from Auto to 1.15V and loosened tRFC to 500 cycles. In CrystalDiskMark, the latency dropped from 105ns to a steady 82-88ns. I had two failed boots during the tuning process, but a slight loosening of the primary timings stabilized it. RAM temps are now 45-52℃. The internal storage analyzer shows loads are about 3 seconds faster. Performance verified.
