Are ASUS TUF B760M runtime library repairs actually effective?
Dealing with these random freezes was a total nightmare, so I tried a few different angles. At first, I thought it was a driver issue, but AIDA64 showed chipset temps were a chill 52°C - 56°C, so thermal throttling wasn't the culprit. I went deeper into the OS, fired up a Command Prompt as admin, and ran the System File Checker (SFC). It turns out a few dynamic link libraries were actually corrupted. After the repair, I ran a PassMark stress test and confirmed the PCIe lane latency was rock steady between 14ns - 17ns. After three clean reboots, the response time when hitting the combat prep screen jumped by 20% - 25%, and that annoying hitching feeling is gone. Just a heads-up though: at max settings, the D4 memory bandwidth becomes a bottleneck, so you'll still see some frame variance. That's just the physical limit of the hardware; no DLL fix can magically upgrade your RAM.
