How to fix memory timing hitches on ASUS B760M-PLUS D4?
I was getting these 0.3-second freezes during scene transitions that felt like the game was tripping over itself, which is lethal in combat. My logs showed memory latency jumping between 75-92ns, leaving the CPU just hanging there. I tried increasing the page file to 32GB, but that actually made the stuttering 10% worse—a total waste of time. I finally went into the BIOS and swapped the auto timings for a manual 16-18-18-36 and bumped the voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V. After that, latency settled into a tight 68-72ns range and the hitches vanished. It wasn't a clean ride, though; I hit two BSODs during boot until I loosened tRAS from 36 to 40. VRM temps sat around 58-63℃. I ran five passes of MemTest86 to make sure it was actually stable, and it came back clean with memory temps holding at 58-63℃. It's finally playable, but man, the auto-settings were a nightmare.
