How to optimize input response for Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz?
There was this weird drifting sensation the moment blades clashed, and that kind of millisecond lag is a total nightmare in fast-paced combat. The power-saving features on the Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz caused the CPU core voltage to bounce between 0,7V and 1,1V during low-load transitions, adding 12,0 - 18,0 ms of response time. I tried Windows High Performance mode first, but my CPU just spiked to 85,0 C without any real improvement in lag, which was honestly pretty frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS and nuked all C-State power-saving options and locked the processor performance state to 100%. Using an input lag tester, the end-to-end delay dropped from 22,0 - 35,0 ms to a snappy 11,0 - 14,0 ms. The only downside was the idle power draw was insane, so I had to manually tweak my fan curves to hit 80% speed at 60,0 C to keep things balanced. CPU temps now sit at 68,0 - 75,0 C. Combat feels instant again.
