How to fix memory latency and input lag on ASUS B760M TUF?
Hitting the jump button and having the character react 0.1 seconds later is a total nightmare for precision platforming. The default timings on my ASUS B760M TUF (18-22-22-42) resulted in a memory latency of 82ns, which really choked the emulator's instruction translation. I tried enabling 'Game Mode' in Windows, but that did absolutely nothing for the underlying latency, which was honestly pretty frustrating. I dove into the BIOS Advanced Memory settings and pushed the primary timings down to 16-18-18-38 while bumping the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V. AIDA64 confirmed the latency dropped from 82ns to a tight 68-72ns, and the controls finally felt responsive. I actually pushed it to 14-16-16 at one point and got an instant BSOD upon launching the emulator; I had to loosen tRFC to 600 to get it stable again. RAM temps are now 42-48℃ and VRMs are at 55-60℃. The tactile response is finally spot on.
