Ok then. Another "expoeriment' if you're willing.
Wiith RTC Alarm Power on yet disabled, now disable HPET in the BIOS too and re-check. No go? Attempt HPET Off and RTC On. If the above stabs in the semi-dark get you nowhere, please revert both RTC and HPET back their former, original, settings and post back. |

EDIT: Never mind, used a cached version of this: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:oI90ZUOve_QJ:ftp://asrock.cn/Manual/P67%2520Pro3.pdf and took another look at my BIOS photos and found it.  Edited by Teutep - 18 Jan 2016 at 12:19am |

Well, you took the pictures I used :)
BIOS > Advanced > Southbridge Configuration, of course :) :) |

Anyhow, attempts behind. Unfortunately both are no go.
1. RTC Alarm Power On: Disabled + ACPI HPTE table: Enabled = No difference. 2. RTC Alarm Power On: Disabled + ACPI HPTE table: Disabled = No difference. 3. RTC Alarm Power On: By OS + ACPI HPTE table: Disabled = No difference. |

Replace your CMOS battery. No harm no foul in doing so. They're like a buck a piece.

Late response, but nonetheless:
Changing the CMOS battery didn't do a thing that I could witness. Anyhow, as was previously mentioned that it doesn't affect my recording performance. It took me this long to test how gaming performance is affected, and by the looks of things there is no difference to what I'm seeing on Windows 7 in games like Rise of the Tomb Raider where I would definitely see a major performance drop. In otherwords, as a gamer this probably shouldn't bother me as much as it does. MSI Afterburner, unlike HWInfo64 seems to report believable CPU Usage figures. When I compare MSI Afterburner's values on W7 to my Task Manager's CPU usage, they're more or less the same (which makes me believe I can somewhat trust Afterburner's values as well.) While on Windows 10, my MSI Afterburner is the only one with values between 0-100%; whereas my Task Manager is just always that 100%; with the impossible hundred million percent under Resource Monitor. So if push comes to shove, I suppose I'll trust a third party application and just resort to its monitoring rather than risk potential issues with a BIOS update, seeing that actual performance seems to be unaffected. I should probably feel bad that I didn't test gaming performance before. Apologies for that! Thanks everyone for responding to this thread anyhow! :) Edited by Teutep - 12 Feb 2016 at 7:09pm |
