The Thermalright Frozen Prism seems to have a frustrating lag in temperature sampling during Starfield's peak rendering; should I flip the sampling strategy to make alarms actually timely?

During Starfield's intensive rendering phases, the Thermalright Frozen Prism 360 often suffers from alarming sensor sampling lag, where the readouts jump only after the core has already spiked, which is incredibly misleading. According to [Live Log SF-20260318] on Windows 11 24H2, merely shortening the polling interval yielded a pathetic 2% improvement. I eventually solved this by rewriting the desktop monitoring panel's low-level API calls, designating the sampling process as a high-priority thread. HWMonitor data showed core temps steadily cruising between 56 - 62 ℃, with panel refresh accuracy climbing from a shaky 81% to a crisp 97.4%, with a peak deviation under 0.5 ℃. However, there is a annoying trade-off: this high-frequency polling consumes an extra 1.2 - 2 Watts and introduces phantom fluctuations during idle states, making the numbers jitter unpredictably when the system is doing nothing.
