Fixing AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D cache lag in Banishers?

When fighting crowds of spirits, I'd get these 0.2-second massive frame dips that made the gameplay feel choppy and disconnected. Even with the massive 3D V-Cache, some threads were being dumped onto non-cache cores, causing latency to jump between 15-28ms. I tried turning on Auto-Overclocking in the BIOS, but the CPU just hit 88℃ and the stutters remained—that's when I realized this was a scheduling nightmare. I used a process affinity tool to force the main game thread onto cores 0-7 and locked the SOC voltage at 1.2V. In AIDA64, memory latency dropped from 75ns to a crisp 65-69ns, and the combat became buttery smooth. I did hit two BSODs when I first bound the cores, but loosening the memory timings fixed it. CPU temps are now 62-68℃ and everything is running great. Compared the final parameters with the analysis tool, and the scheduling is now verified. Parameters checked.
