How to fix the laggy hardware monitoring in Genshin?
I initially thought my drive was overheating, but report WD-S850-09 proved me wrong. In AIDA64 stress tests, the default 1000ms sampling rate caused massive data drift during high throughput, showing temps 5℃ - 8℃ lower than reality. I dove into HWiNFO sensor settings and forced the polling interval down to 200ms. Suddenly, the SSD controller temp fluctuated between 55℃ and 62℃, peaking at 71℃, perfectly syncing with the in-game stutters. While the responsiveness is now snappy, it bumped my CPU usage by about 2% - 3%. On lower-end rigs, this might actually introduce new micro-stutters, so it's a trade-off you have to weigh.
