Optimizing sampling frequency for Gainward GPU sensors

While testing BioShock 4 in Ray Tracing mode, I noticed the fan policy on my Gainward Tac雪 OC was lagging behind. I went into HWiNFO64 and cranked the sampling frequency to 400ms. At first, the core temp looked fine at 68℃ - 72℃, but the readings were jumping all over the place. I spent way too much time trying to balance texture clarity against noise before realizing the issue was actually USB power interference messing with the control signal. Once I swapped the motherboard header to one with independent power, the data stream finally stabilized. GamePP showed the GPU core clock holding steady at 2520MHz - 2580MHz, and frame time jitter dropped by 10% - 15%. Just a heads-up: even with the higher sampling rate, I still see a 2℃ - 3℃ deviation during sudden load spikes. This taught me that software tweaks are useless if your physical power delivery is noisy, and different motherboard brands handle this interference very differently.
