Why is my MSI PRO B760M causing frame drops in Far Cry 6?
While sneaking through the jungle, my framerate was basically a roller coaster, swinging from 100 FPS down to 40—it was insane. The power phases on my MSI PRO B760M were showing 15-25ms of voltage ripple, which caused the CPU internal clock to jitter and trigger sync errors. I tried the 'High Performance' power plan in Windows, but the VRMs just shot up to 92℃, which was a total joke. I finally flashed the latest BIOS and set a CPU core voltage offset of -0.05V to bring the heat down. In AIDA64 stress tests, the voltage ripple shrunk from 0.12V to 0.04V, and the stuttering completely vanished. I did have a moment where my RAM wasn't detected after the BIOS flash, but reseating the sticks and re-enabling XMP fixed it. The board now stays between 55-62℃. I exported the verified voltage and BIOS settings for backup, and the board temp is holding at 55-62℃.
