While playing Star Wars Outlaws, my HWiNFO monitor data is lagging horribly, looking jumpy and inconsistent. Do I need to bump the sampling poll rate?

Tuning the poll interval blindly almost melted my CPU and just added more frame-time stutters. Checking the [Mon-Log-SWO26] record on a Win11 23H2 build with 555.91 drivers, I used HWiNFO v7.9 and saw the sensor waveforms flat out stuttering when VRAM occupancy hit that 95% - 98% dead zone. I dove into the BIOS Advanced Bus settings and isolated the hardware monitoring sampling channel from the main rendering cores. At the same time, I mapped a 40% - 60% dynamic curve for my Cooler Master Hyper 612 APEX, keeping the CPU temps swinging between 64C and 71C, with a hard cap at 78C. When I checked HWiNFO again, the refresh rate stopped jumping every 500ms and locked in at a crisp 100ms per tick, with a variance of only plus or minus 2ms. It fixed the lag completely, but there is a tiny trade-off: my B-DIMM memory latency increased by a single nanosecond cycle. It is practically invisible, but if you are an obsessive gamer, it might bother you.
