Is my Maxsun MS-eSport B850M WIFI ICE causing MSFS 2024 stutters?
Whenever I flew over dense urban areas, the ground buildings would just hang for a second, creating this visual disconnect that was honestly anxiety-inducing. The PCIe 4.0 link on the Maxsun MS-eSport B850M WIFI ICE was showing random latency spikes of 12-18ms while churning through massive texture arrays. I tried disabling every single background update service in Windows, but the stuttering didn't budge—it was a reminder that software tweaks are useless against a hardware-level bottleneck. I went into the BIOS and forced the M.2 interface from 'Auto' to 'Gen 4' and slapped on the latest chipset drivers. In CrystalDiskMark stress tests, the random read curve flattened out beautifully, and the scene loading felt way more complete. One weird side effect: forcing Gen 4 made my secondary SATA drive take longer to be recognized, which I had to fix by reassigning the board's port priority. VRM temps stayed around 48-55℃. After comparing the logs, the resource loading stopped dropping packets, and the input response finally felt tight.
