How to fix memory overheating on Maxsun MS-eSport B850ITX?

Every time I entered a new zone, the game would just hard-lock at 90% loading, forcing me to hold the power button. I was panicking when I saw the RAM temps on my Maxsun MS-eSport B850ITX WIFI ICE hitting 68-74℃ under load, which is way too hot for an ITX build. I tried enabling the XMP profile in BIOS, but that just led to an immediate BSOD upon reaching the desktop—total meltdown. I eventually gave up on the aggressive clocks and dropped the DRAM voltage from 1.35V to 1.25V, while downclocking from 6000MHz to 5600MHz to kill the heat. In AIDA64 stress tests, the memory temps finally settled at 52-58℃ and the freezes stopped. I did notice the game takes about 2 seconds longer to boot now, but I'll take that over a crashed PC any day. VRM temps are now 62-67℃ with fans pushing 2400-2800 RPM. System logs show zero memory parity errors now, and the input response feels way more responsive.
