How to fix Crucial DDR4 2400 timing conflicts in Sword and Fairy 7?

Right in the middle of those flashy sword effects, my FPS would tank from 60 to 25, and the instability was driving me insane. The default XMP on this Crucial DDR4 2400 was causing instruction scheduling delays of 18-25ms on my board, making frame times swing between 16-32ms. I tried increasing the page file to 16GB first, which stopped some crashes but actually made the stuttering worse—a complete nightmare. I finally went into BIOS and manually set the timings to 16-18-18-38 and nudged the voltage to 1.36V. AIDA64 showed latency dropping from 88ns to a crisp 72-76ns. I did hit a black screen during the first load attempt, but loosening the tRFC to 560 fixed it. Now the RAM stays at 42-48℃ and the CPU is around 65-71℃. The input lag is gone and it feels way more responsive, although the overclock is barely stable.
