How to synchronize AMD Ryzen 7 9700X frequencies in NFS?

I was getting these tiny, annoying micro-stutters during high-speed cornering, which is absolutely lethal in a racing game. The FCLK bus frequency on my AMD Ryzen 7 9700X was struggling to keep up with my high-speed DDR5 memory, creating a sync latency of 2.1-3.5ms that basically bottlenecked the data flow between the CPU and GPU. My first instinct was to enable Low Latency Mode in the driver panel; while the input felt a bit more responsive, the actual frame drops didn't budge, making me realize this was a low-level bus issue. I went into the BIOS and manually locked the FCLK frequency at 2100MHz, while bumping the SoC voltage from 1.1V to 1.2V to tighten up the signal integrity. RTSS showed the frame times collapsing from a messy 12-28ms range down to a tight 11-14ms. It wasn't a smooth ride—I actually got two memory training errors on boot after the first lock, and I had to loosen my memory timings by 2 units to get it stable. CPU temps hovered between 62-72℃. After three full races, the sync errors are gone, and my RAM temps are sitting comfortably between 52-58℃.
