So yesterday, I ended up manually setting my memory timings without proper knowledge which caused my pc to completely screw itself over, so I needed to do a CMOS reset. the reason I did that was because I am trying to figure out the cause of this microstutters that occur in very specific areas of my game, and they don't seem to be happen in any other game; yet i've asked multiple people, including some friends, to try and replicate them. they receive a bit of fps drops like me, but they don't have the stutter
one friend said it is caused by some kind of 'async' (?) because of the slight deviation from 3600mhz in my Memory Frequencies/Timings. I have XMP enabled, and FCLK set to Auto (setting it to 1800mhz made no difference), and the profile is listed as:
"DOCP- DDR4-3597 18-22-22-42-1.35v" this isn't the full 3600mhz of the my Corsair Vengeance DDR4-3600mhz ram, but I was told a few months back that it wasn't a big enough deviation for it to necessarily matter.

Above are my Memory Timings as shown by CPU-Z; but here's what confuses me...the Memory tab lists a frequency of 1799.6. to get the full 3600mhz, you would need 1800mhz + 1800; yet 1799.6 + 1799.6 comes out as 3599.2? and under the SPD tab, it is listed as 1798mhz...1798mhz + 1798 comes out as 3596?
3596mhz is not 3597mhz, which is what the XMP profile says. I get that this is a -1 deviation from 3597, but it also becomes a -4 deviation from 3600, instead of a -3 deviation. is this still irrelevant? is this simply too small of a deviation to actually ever matter?
even if this deviation does not matter, why does is it not seem to add up?
