Is the G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 6400 stable in Where Winds Meet?
Getting a black screen and a sudden reboot is the worst, and it turned out to be a signal stability issue. My G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 6400 had these tiny voltage swings between 1.35V and 1.40V, which triggered checksum errors when loading heavy open-world assets. I tried downclocking to 5600MHz, but the frame rate took a noticeable dip, and that compromise just didn't sit right with me. I went into the BIOS and hard-locked the DRAM voltage at 1.42V, keeping temps steady between 52-58℃. Interestingly, the voltage bump alone didn't kill the crashes; I had to disable CPU C-states and lock the clock speed before the memory controller actually behaved. CPU package power stayed around 110-125W, and the motherboard heatsinks were warm to the touch. After a grueling 6-hour stress test, my memory latency dropped from 75-82ns to a crisp 68-72ns, though temps climbed slightly to 58-63℃.
