Fixing RAM compatibility for Nioh 2 on Maxsun MS-eSport B850M

Right when the fight hits its peak, the screen just freezes for a split second. In a game like Nioh 2, that kind of input lag is basically a death sentence. I noticed the memory controller on the Maxsun B850M was spiking to 92-108ns latency, which completely choked the instruction pipeline. My first instinct was to crank the virtual memory up to 32GB, but that was a waste of time—loading screens didn't improve, and the whole OS felt sluggish. I realized this was a firmware issue, so I flashed the latest BIOS version 1.24 and ditched 'Auto' XMP for a manual setup, tuning the primary timings to 36-38-38-72. After running four consecutive passes of MemTest86, the error count dropped from 12 to zero, and the combat flow returned to normal. It wasn't a smooth ride; the first time I enabled XMP, I got a BSOD during idle, but bumping the DRAM voltage from 1.35V to 1.38V nailed it. RAM temps stayed in the 46-52℃ range. The memory scheduling conflict is gone, and the system is finally stable.
