Optimizing G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3600 for MH Wilds?

Having the screen freeze right during a critical hunt is absolutely lethal to the gameplay rhythm. Digging into the logs, I found the default timings on my G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 3600 were causing the memory controller to hit an abysmal 95-110ns latency when streaming massive textures. I first tried expanding the page file to 32GB, but that actually made loading times 4 seconds longer—just a complete facepalm moment. I went back into the BIOS Advanced Memory settings and tightened the primary timings from 18-22-22-42 down to 16-19-19-38, while pushing the voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V. In AIDA64, the latency dropped from 102-115ns to a crisp 76-82ns. I'll admit, I went too aggressive at first and hit two BSODs in a row until I backed off tRAS from 42 to 44. Now it's running cool at 46-52℃. After 6 full passes of MemTest86 with zero errors, the system is finally stable, though the aggressive timings make me slightly nervous about long-term wear.
