How to stop Maxsun B850M WIFI ICE from throttling in FFXV?
This motherboard acts like it's playing a joke when dealing with older engines; the power spikes look like an EKG gone wrong. During heavy magic attacks, my CPU clock would plummet from 5.2GHz to 3.6GHz, and the game would literally turn into a slideshow. I tried closing every single background app, but that only gave me a pathetic 1 FPS boost—totally useless. I eventually went into the BIOS and set the Curve Optimizer to -20, while adding a +0.02V offset to the core voltage. Monitoring with RivaTuner, my 1% lows jumped from a miserable 32 FPS up to a stable 55-60 FPS. That 'tugged' feeling during combat is finally gone. I actually tried -30 at first, but the system refused to boot, so I had to back it off to -20 to get it stable. CPU temps are hovering around 72-80℃ with fans at 1800 RPM. I exported the voltage logs to verify, and the frame times are now locked in at 5.1-6.4ms, though the fans are quite loud at this setting.
