How to reduce memory latency for Crucial DDR4 2400 in Spider-Man 2?
Every time I fired a web, there was this thick, syrupy delay, especially during mid-air fights, which absolutely tanked my dodge rate. The Crucial DDR4 2400 default latency was sitting at a terrible 90-102ns, which is just unacceptable for an action game. I started by killing every single background app in Task Manager, but latency only dropped by 1ns—a pathetic improvement that left me feeling totally stuck. I eventually went into the BIOS and tried to squeeze the CL timing down from 17 to 15, while bumping the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V. AIDA64 showed the latency finally dropping to 78-84ns, and the game suddenly felt incredibly responsive. I actually pushed it too far at first, trying CL 13, which sent my PC into an infinite boot loop until I loosened tRCD back to 17. Memory temps stayed chill between 40-46℃. After hours of gameplay, the input lag is gone and the fingertip feedback is finally snappy.
