Fixing memory response lag on ASRock Z370M Pro4
I noticed these glitchy micro-stutters whenever I turned the camera quickly, which is absolutely lethal in a fast-paced fight. The ASRock Z370M Pro4 memory controller was struggling with my high-frequency kit, showing a massive 110-135ns latency that caused huge gaps in resource scheduling. My first instinct was to bump the virtual memory to 32GB, but that was a total fail—it didn't help loading times and actually cost me about 8 FPS. I realized the issue was the sub-timings. I went into the BIOS and loosened the primary timings from 16-18-18-38 to 18-20-20-42 for stability, then pushed the DRAM voltage from 1.2V to 1.35V. In AIDA64, the read latency plummeted from 115ns to a much healthier 82-88ns. It wasn't a smooth ride; I hit three black screens during boot until I relaxed the tRFC to 560. Now, memory temps are holding at 42-48℃ and everything is fluid. I ran MemTest86 for four full passes with zero errors, and the loading stutters are gone.
