Tuning sensor polling rates for God of War

According to report tcp-2026-X on Windows 11 24H2 using HWinfo v8.0, the package temperature hovered between 62C and 68C with a a peak of 75C. The real headache was the default 2-second polling rate, which made the monitoring graph look like a jagged mess. I tried shortening the cycle, but it felt clunky because the UI refresh rate wasn't in sync. I finally dove into the advanced settings, nailed the sensor interval to 100ms, and turned off all smoothing filters. Now the data sync is crisp, and the curves are buttery smooth. One slight downside, though, is that such aggressive polling adds about 1% CPU overhead. It is a bit of a trade-off, but once I saw the data accuracy hit the mark, it was totally worth it. No more delayed spikes or phantom readings.
