How to stabilize G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3600 in FiveM?
That sickening feeling of the screen being sliced horizontally while driving fast told me immediately that the memory controller was struggling with FiveM's massive pile of custom scripts. The default XMP profile on my G.Skill Trident Z 3600MHz was acting up, with latency bouncing between 70 - 90ns, which completely wrecked the frame pacing. I tried enabling V-Sync in the driver first, but that introduced a sluggish 45ms input lag that felt like playing in mud. I went back to the BIOS, forced the frequency to a hard 3600MHz, and manually pushed the voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V. Running AIDA64, the response time flattened out at 68 - 72ns, and the synchronization felt night and day. I did run into a couple of random BSODs at first, but tweaking the SOC voltage to 1.1V sorted it out. Memory temps stayed between 45 - 52℃ and the southbridge hit 55 - 61℃. After 6 cycles of MemTest86, the data transfer is flawless and temps remain at 45 - 52℃.
