Fixing power delivery issues on Onda 9D4-DVH in No Rest for the Wicked?
Every time a big fight kicks off, the screen just hitches violently. After three straight crashes, I was honestly losing my mind. Compared to lighter games, this was a total train wreck, with core temps swinging between 85°C - 94°C. I started suspecting the VRM quality was just garbage. I tried lowering every single in-game setting, but the FPS kept bouncing between 30 and 60, which was just frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS and set a negative CPU core voltage offset of -0.08V and locked the fans at a loud 85%. According to my sensors, temps finally dropped to 72°C - 78°C, and voltage ripple shrank from 0.15V to 0.04V. I did experience some weird calculation errors and a crash early on, so I backed the offset off to -0.06V for stability. Frame intervals are now a steady 18-22ms. The fans sound like a jet engine, but the stability is worth the noise. Settings are now locked in.
