Verifying Noctua hardware sensor precision for timing

Analyzing the latency in report 412, timing fluctuations were between 15.4ns - 19.9ns. I thought it was a driver issue, but the CPU-Z Memory tab showed channel bandwidth utilization jumping between 79% - 92%, pointing to a hardware sync problem. SiSoftware benchmarks showed a ±10% variance, which felt awful. I went into ASUS Armoury Crate, locked the sensor refresh rate, and used MSI Center's firmware tool to force memory timings into the 16ns - 18ns range. In combat, bandwidth utilization settled at 82% - 88%, and controller haptics felt precise again. SignalRGB logs confirmed millisecond-level sync, but after long sessions, timings still occasionally jump back to 19ns—probably due to aging motherboard capacitors.
