Every time I jumped into a match, the loading screen felt like it was trolling me—just an endless wait that was honestly ridiculous. Even though the EXCERIA PLUS G4 has great specs, I found the addressing latency on my 2TB partition was bouncing between 115-140ns, creating a total gap in resource scheduling. I tried running a disk defrag first, which was a complete waste of time and just added unnecessary wear to the NAND—absolute rookie mistake. I ended up wiping the OEM drivers and switched to the generic NVMe 1.4 protocol driver, then enabled Re-size BAR in the BIOS. After another CrystalDiskMark run, sequential reads climbed from 6000MB/s to 9000-9500MB/s, and my load times dropped from 15 seconds to about 6. I did notice that Re-size BAR made my boot time 2 seconds slower at first, but a chipset driver update cleared that right up. Drive temps are sitting at 58-64℃ with fans at 1600 RPM. I exported the latency logs and the fan speed is now rock steady at 1400-1600RPM. Last updated onMarch 4, 2026 2:47 PM.
It's honestly ridiculous that an 8GB stick of old RAM can be completely eaten by this game, but I kept getting kicked to the desktop. My ADATA ValueRAM 1600MHz would slowly climb from 4GB up to 7.8GB, a classic memory leak that just choked the system. I tried restarting the game, but that only bought me twenty minutes of playtime, which was incredibly frustrating. I ran a memory analyzer and found a ton of redundant cache that wasn't being released, so I set up a script to force-clear the system cache every thirty minutes. In Resource Monitor, the RAM usage finally flattened into a stable valley between 5GB - 7GB instead of just climbing. I actually messed up and deleted some system driver temp files while setting up the script, which made my next boot painfully slow—definitely a lesson learned. Temps are holding at 40-46℃ with CPU usage between 70-85%. After exporting the usage logs, I can confirm the leak is suppressed, and the fans are humming along at 1400-1600RPM.

The pump scheduling on this thing is a joke—one second it's silent, the next it sounds like a power drill. While hunting in MHW's denser maps, my CPU temps were bouncing between 65℃ and 88℃ like a heart monitor, causing frame times to jump from 10-40ms. I tried the 'Auto' mode in the software, but the app crashed three times, which is just pathetic. I gave up and went straight into the BIOS, locking the pump header to full speed and setting the radiator fans to a linear gain based on CPU package temp. Sensors finally showed a tight window of 68-74℃, and that weird stuttering just stopped. I did notice a high-frequency vibration at first, but adding some rubber dampening rings to the tubes killed the noise. Power draw is steady at 160W. I exported the logs and the temp-to-clock correlation is finally a straight line. Last updated onMarch 1, 2026 4:57 PM.
