Why is my ROG Z890-A Snow dropping memory clocks in Once Human?
Every time I tried building complex structures at my base, the FPS would tank from 110 down to 50, and the unpredictability was honestly making me anxious. The default XMP 3.0 profile on my ASUS ROG Z890-A Snow just wasn't playing nice with my RAM kit, leading to memory controller latency spiking to 90-110ns under heavy load. I tried increasing the Windows page file to 64GB, but that did absolutely nothing for the clock drops and just added unnecessary disk overhead—super frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS and bumped the memory voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V and loosened the tRFC from 480 to 560 to keep things stable. In AIDA64, the latency finally settled between 65-72ns, and those nasty frame drops in-game almost vanished. I actually pushed the timings too far at first and got three consecutive Blue Screens before I backed off the primary timings. The VRM temps are sitting around 55-62℃. After six rounds of MemTest86 with zero errors, the game feels way more responsive, and my mouse movements feel snappy again.
