Do I need to bump voltage for Crucial 16GB RAM in No Rest?
Getting the game to just shut down without warning while fighting a massive monster makes the experience feel totally fragmented. While Crucial RAM is usually rock steady, at 3200MHz I noticed voltage drops of about 0.04V between 1.2V and 1.35V, which caused the memory controller to trip when handling complex shaders. I first tried downclocking to 2933MHz; the crashes stopped, but my minimums dropped from 48 to 36 FPS, which felt like too much of a loss. I went back into the BIOS and manually locked the memory voltage at 1.37V and loosened the tRCD timing by 2 units. After 4 consecutive passes of MemTest86, the hourly errors completely vanished. I did notice temps hit 58℃ after the voltage bump, so I had to tweak my case airflow to bring it down to 48-53℃. VRM temps stayed around 60-65℃. Stress tests confirmed the read/write is now fully synced.
