How to stabilize Crucial DDR4 2400 for Splinter Cell Remake?

The screen would just freeze for about 0.5 seconds during stealth turns, and in a game like this, that kind of disconnect is absolutely lethal. Looking at my logs, the memory bandwidth was hitting read/write peaks of 60-85ms when loading massive shadow maps. My first instinct was to enable Low Latency mode in the drivers, but that actually made the stuttering 15% worse—a complete disaster that made me realize this was a memory alignment issue. I moved the page file from the C drive to a dedicated NVMe SSD and manually set the primary timings to 15-15-15-34. After rebooting, the response latency stabilized between 75-82ns, and the freezes vanished. I did hit a snag where the PC rebooted twice after the timing change, but bumping the voltage from 1.2V to 1.3V fixed the instability. Temps are sitting pretty at 38-44℃. I ran 6 passes of MemTest86 and got zero errors, with temps holding steady at 38-44℃. It's finally feeling fluid.
