Stabilizing clock sync on Galax H310M Warrior D4
Right when I'm moving fast in combat, the fluidity just gets sliced in half by a horizontal tear line. It's a classic case of budget board scheduling failure. The Galax H310M Warrior D4 has a response lag of about 6-9ms when handling transient loads, which makes the CPU clock jitter between 3.2GHz and 3.8GHz. I tried turning on V-Sync, but the input lag jumped to over 60ms, making the game feel like I was playing through molasses—absolutely miserable. I went into the BIOS → Power Management and set the processor to High Performance mode, then locked Windows to a strict 60Hz to match the game's engine limit. Using a frame time analyzer, the gaps went from a messy 18-42ms to a tight 16.6-16.8ms, and the tearing completely vanished. I did have a brief issue with the heatsink soaking up too much heat initially, but bumping the case fan speed fixed it. CPU temps are now 65-72℃ and VRM is 68-75℃. The visual sync is finally perfect, though the power draw is slightly higher.
