My Kingston 16GB DDR4 2666 keeps throwing checksum errors and freezing during map transitions in Expeditions Rome.

Every time I tried entering the center of Rome, the game would just hard lock on the loading screen. It felt like those old-school compatibility nightmares. The default timings on this Kingston 16GB DDR4 2666 kit were causing the memory controller to choke, hitting massive latency spikes of 95-110ns when handling large array data. My first instinct was to bump the page file to 32GB, but that was a total waste of time—it actually added 4 seconds to the load time. I went back to the BIOS and manually loosened the primary timings from 19-19-19-43 to 20-20-20-45 and bumped the DRAM voltage to 1.22V. Using a latency benchmark, I saw the read/write delay drop from 105ns to a much healthier 88-92ns, and the loading stutters vanished. I tried pushing for 18ns timings earlier, but that resulted in three consecutive BSODs before I accepted the physical limits of 2666MHz. Temps are sitting comfy at 42-48℃. Ran MemTest86 for four passes and it's finally error-free.
