How to stop 5800X background processes from stealing FPS?
Testing this on Windows 11 24H2 with driver 560.1. In report #LOL-5800X-01, HWiNFO showed core voltage swinging wildly between 1.2V and 1.45V during team fights, tanking my FPS from 144 down to 42. I tried manually tweaking priorities in Task Manager, but it reset after every reboot, which was a total nightmare. I eventually went into System Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Settings, forced background services to Low, and set the game process to Realtime via a game optimizer. AIDA64 stress tests showed memory latency stabilizing from 72ns down to 64ns. It fixed the stuttering, but my CPU package temp peaked at 88℃. The fans sounded like a jet engine taking off; you'll definitely need a beefy AIO in the summer or you'll hit thermal throttling and feel those micro-stutters again.
