Fixing memory parity errors on ASUS B760M in Witcher?
Right when I'm about to strike a monster, the screen freezes for about 0.5 seconds. I honestly wondered if my TUF board was just giving up on me. These micro-stutters completely destroy the immersion. I tried updating the BIOS first, but the stutters stayed and I even got a few Blue Screens, which felt like a total waste of time. I finally ran Prime95 for a heavy stress test, and channel 1 threw an error within 20 minutes. I jumped back into the BIOS and pushed the memory voltage from 1.35V to 1.40V while killing all the power-saving features. After that, the errors vanished and the game became buttery smooth. I did freak out when the VRM temps hit 82℃ during the first voltage bump, so I had to rig up a small fan to cool it down. Now memory temps are stable at 45-51℃ and CPU is between 68-74℃. I exported the memory error logs from Event Viewer for my records, and fans are humming steadily at 1400-1600RPM.
