How to calibrate real-time monitoring for Ryzen 7 9700X?

I had to tear my setup apart to find the cause. In the high-tension space station scenes, the Ryzen 7 9700X's high-frequency sampling was jittering, creating a sawtooth pattern in the frame time graph. This caused a millisecond-level offset in my ability timing. I fired up MSI Afterburner and overlaid the frame generation intervals, then used HWMonitor to tighten the core frequency fluctuation from +/- 170MHz down to +/- 59MHz. The first attempt at adjusting the sampling rate felt laggy, but after syncing the refresh frequency, the readouts finally matched my actual inputs. That annoying tactile delay just disappeared. The CPU still runs between 58 - 65℃ under load, with fans ramping from 1090 - 1330 RPM. I verified the data accuracy at 98.4% using a recording playback tool. It's a relief to actually see hardware anomalies in real-time now. The initial calibration was a bit shaky, but after stacking the parameters, it's finally in an ideal state.
