Fixing Ryzen 7 9700X multi-core scheduling in Resident Evil 9

I'm honestly fed up. This new architecture has these tiny scheduling delays with high-res textures, making the FPS jump wildly between 120 and 70. The 9700X's Auto PBO struggles with high-concurrency instructions if RAM latency is too high, causing clocks to bounce between 4.2GHz and 5.3GHz. I tried locking the frequency in software, but it just wasted power and didn't stop the stutters—felt like I was being lied to by the default settings. I went into BIOS, set PBO to 'Enhanced', and tightened my RAM timings from 36-36-36 down to 30-34-34. My 1% Lows jumped from 40 to 62 FPS, and the smoothness is night and day. I did get a few random BSODs at first, but adjusting the voltage offset from -20 to -15 stabilized everything. CPU temps are now 65-75℃. Comparing the frame time graphs, it's finally consistent at 68-72℃.
