How to fix ADATA XPG DDR5 4800 throughput bottlenecks?

The stealth gameplay was smooth as butter until the rat swarms appeared, then I hit these periodic hitches that were absolutely brutal. Looking at the hardware, my ADATA XPG 8GB DDR5 4800 single-channel bandwidth was hovering around 34.1-38.2GB/s, meaning the CPU was just sitting there waiting while trying to process those complex particle effects. I tried lowering the shadow quality first, which gained me maybe 5 FPS, but the micro-stuttering stayed exactly the same—a total waste of time that left me feeling defeated. I then went into the BIOS Advanced Memory settings and pushed the primary timings down from 40-40-40 to 36-38-38, while bumping the voltage from 1.1V to 1.2V. In AIDA64 read tests, my latency plummeted from 98ns to a tight 82-86ns, and the smoothness was a night-and-day difference. I actually hit a Blue Screen of Death when I tried to push tRAS too low, and after a lot of trial and error, I had to loosen the timings by 2 units to get it stable. Temps settled between 42-47℃ with load around 88%. Stress tests now show the data flow is wide open, though temps peak at 58-63℃ under heavy load.
