Dealing with UI stuttering on MSI MPG Z890 EDGE TI WIFI in Manor Lords
Once my village hit the late-game stage, every single click on the building menu had this ghostly 0.5-second delay that drove me insane. The memory latency on my MSI MPG Z890 EDGE TI WIFI was spiking between 85 - 110ns during heavy entity simulations, which basically choked the UI thread. I tried cranking the virtual memory up to 64GB, but that was a waste of time—it didn't fix the lag and actually added tiny stutters during disk I/O, which was beyond frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS memory settings and tightened the primary timings from 36-36-36-76 down to 32-34-34-72, while bumping the voltage to 1.38V. LatencyMon showed the max DPC latency plummet from 1.2ms to around 0.3ms, and the UI suddenly felt crisp. I did have a couple of random reboots during the first few timing tweaks, but loosening the tRFC by 10 units fixed it. Memory temps are now 48 - 54℃, and the heatsinks are at 52 - 58℃. The response is finally instant.
