In A Plague Tale: Requiem, my Intel i7 14700KF causes my USB peripherals to sporadically malfunction with heavy lag during combat. Is voltage overshoot affecting the bus?

Test AT-147 in a Win11 24H2 environment with BIOS v1.4 showed the CPU package temperature swinging between 85C and 98C, hitting a ceiling of 102C via HWinfo. My initial mistake was pushing the power plan to an aggressive 'Ultimate Performance,' which actually exacerbated voltage fluctuation and increased input lag. I eventually navigated to the BIOS undervolt menu to set a negative offset for the core, forcing the bus clock into a tighter stability window. After validation, peripheral response times tightened to a purely millisecond range; the overall snappiness during combat felt an entire tier higher. Still, during abrupt multi-core spikes, I encountered nano-drops of about 1ms. Compared to the standard 253W TDP stress test, the results were barely within margin, proving that perfect stability is an uphill battle.
