Dealing with power spikes on Maxsun MS-eSport B850M WIFI ICE?
Every time I entered a dense forest area, my frame rate would tank from 90 FPS to 30 FPS, which was honestly stressing me out. With PBO enabled on the Maxsun MS-eSport B850M WIFI ICE, I noticed transient current spikes hitting 140A, triggering the motherboard's overcurrent protection and forcing a clock drop. I tried disabling core parking in Windows first, but that was a total fail; it didn't stop the drops and actually pushed my CPU temps up by 8°C, which was incredibly frustrating. I eventually went into the BIOS, enabled Curve Optimizer, set a negative offset of -20 for all cores, and capped the max current at 120A. In RivaTuner, the frame times finally settled into a smooth 14-18ms range, and the screen tearing became way less noticeable. I tried pushing it to -30 for a more aggressive undervolt, but the system just rebooted during the save-game load screen. I backed it off to -20 and it's been rock solid. VRM temps are now 68-74°C with the core locked at 4.8GHz. The input lag is gone, and the controls finally feel snappy.
