Fixing Ryzen 9 9950X3D stability in The Division Next

Playing this next-gen title is great until you hit those tiny micro-stutters that just break the open-world immersion. After monitoring, I found that the 3D V-Cache on the 9950X3D was hitting a voltage drop of 0.05V from its 1.1V baseline at high frequencies, leading to parity errors when processing massive entity data. I tried disabling all background bloatware first, and while RAM usage dropped, the game still crashed like clockwork every 20 minutes. I eventually went into the BIOS, manually capped the max core frequency at 5.2GHz, and set the PBO mode to 'Conservative'. In a 30-minute OCCT stress test, the voltage ripple stayed under 0.02V and the crashes stopped entirely. I lost maybe 3 FPS in my minimums, but that's a small price to pay to avoid a Blue Screen of Death. Temps are stable at 65-72℃ with fans at 1500RPM. System logs now show zero stability errors, and memory temps are around 58-63℃.
