Why does Asgard Snow DDR5 6400 crash in Ghostwire Tokyo?
The second I stepped into the Shibuya Crossing, the game would just vanish and dump me back to the desktop. I noticed the memory controller load was peaking and the frequency was jumping erratically between 6200-6400MHz. I was honestly panicking, thinking I got a lemon of a kit. I spent hours swapping slots like a madman, which did absolutely nothing and felt incredibly frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS, killed the 'Auto' settings, and locked the primary timings to 32-38-38-76 while bumping the voltage from 1.35V to 1.42V. Latency dropped from 75-88ns to a steady 66-70ns, and my FPS stopped swinging between 42-68, settling instead at 58-62. Ironically, trying to downclock the RAM first just made the frame drops worse. It only stabilized after the voltage compensation and tRFC tweaks. My motherboard chipset is the limiting factor here, but it's rock solid now. System logs are clean of memory access errors, and the input lag is gone.
