My ASRock H310CM-ITX/ac keeps crashing with memory errors during big battle loads in Expeditions: Rome.

There is nothing more frustrating than a total black screen right during a tactical deployment; it feels like your entire command chain just collapsed. Looking at the logs, the memory controller on the ASRock H310CM-ITX/ac was hitting abnormal latency spikes of 112-128ns during high-speed data swaps. I tried the easy route first by just enabling the XMP profile in BIOS, but that was a nightmare—it led to immediate BSODs the moment a map started loading. I realized the defaults were just unreliable. I manually bumped the DRAM voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V and loosened the primary timings from 16-18-18-38 to 18-20-20-40 to give the controller some breathing room. Using AIDA64, I saw the read latency drop from 118ns to a stable 92-96ns, and the random crashes vanished. I did run into a scare where the RAM hit 65℃ initially, but adding a dedicated intake fan brought it back down to 48-52℃. CPU temps stayed around 68-75℃. I ran 6 full passes of MemTest86 and got zero errors, so it's finally stable, though the timings aren't as tight as I'd like.
