Can drivers fix 7800X3D cache latency in Zenless Zone Zero?

This was ridiculous—right as I'd trigger a combo, my CPU would jump between 4.2GHz and 4.8GHz, and the game felt like a slideshow. Even with the 3D V-Cache, memory latency was spiking between 75-92ns, causing frame times to bounce from 12ms to 38ms. I tried killing all power-saving options in the BIOS, but my temps hit 88℃ and the fans sounded like a jet engine taking off—totally absurd. I eventually updated to the latest chipset drivers and locked my RAM profile to EXPO mode. AIDA64 showed memory latency dropping from 88ns to a tight 62-66ns. I did accidentally trip the PBO settings and got a BSOD, but a CMOS clear brought me back to life. CPU temps are now a chill 62-68℃. I exported the latency logs to confirm the stability, and the fans are finally humming quietly at 1400-1600RPM.
