Tuning G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3600 for Banishers: Ghosts?
The RGB on these sticks looks great, but once they heat up, they're basically little space heaters in my case. During heavy physics simulations, temps hit 65℃, triggering the memory controller to slash the clock from 3600 MHz down to 2666 MHz, making the game look like a slideshow. I tried leaving the side panel open, which dropped temps by 3℃ but let in a mountain of dust—not exactly a professional fix. I went into the BIOS, set a +0.02V voltage offset, and cranked the top exhaust fans to max. In Cinebench R23, my multi-core score jumped from 24,000 back up to 26,200, with temps staying around 52 - 58℃. I had two random crashes at first until I dialed back the SoC voltage by 0.01V. Now the FPS stays between 70 - 80 and the fans are humming at 1400 - 1600 RPM.
