How to stop ADATA ValueRAM DDR3 1600 from flickering in Avowed?

I kept seeing these weird colored blocks flash across the screen for about a second, which is an absolute disaster when you're trying to explore. After digging into the logs, I found that the ADATA ValueRAM DDR3 1600 default voltage was dipping by 0.06-0.1V during heavy asset loads. I tried lowering the render resolution first, and while I gained a measly 5 FPS, the flickering didn't budge—it was a total waste of time and made me realize this was a hardware power issue. I went into the BIOS, manually bumped the memory voltage from 1.5V to 1.6V, and disabled all memory power-saving modes. HWInfo showed the voltage fluctuations shrink from 1.42-1.52V to a tight 1.58-1.62V, and texture loading suddenly felt snappy. I did run into a snag where the system had a long memory training delay on boot after the voltage bump, which I only fixed by disabling Fast Boot. Temps stayed between 55-62℃. After five consecutive map-swap stress tests, the flickering is completely gone and temps are holding at 55-62℃.
