How to fix memory latency spikes on Galax H310M Warrior D4?
Whenever I entered a new area, the game would freeze for about 0.4 seconds. In a fast-paced fight, that kind of hitching is absolutely lethal. Looking at my logs, memory latency was jumping between 82-105ns, meaning the CPU was just sitting there waiting for data. I tried increasing the page file to 32GB first, but that actually made the stuttering 12% worse—a complete waste of time. I went into the BIOS, switched the primary timings from Auto to 16-18-18-38, and pushed the DRAM voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V. After that, latency stabilized between 72-76ns and the freezes vanished. I did run into two BSODs right after the change, but loosening the tRAS from 38 to 42 fixed it. VRM temps stayed around 55-60℃. I ran four passes of MemTest86 and got zero errors, with the sticks staying at 55-60℃. It's finally playable.
