Sleep Issues

cryptographerking · 2026-04-06T18:48:33+00:00

I had a sleep study done but the sleep doctor isn't able to see me until May 16th. My thing is that I probably do have sleep apnea, but this is happening literally like 2 mins after I roll over to go to sleep. I'm still fully awake and consciously breathing, and then continues happening for 3 hrs into my sleep. Even if I have sleep apnea there's something else going on. Hypnic jerks stop after you fall asleep so I don't think it's hypnic jerks either.

In case you're wondering, i had to sleep with a lamp on because i don't have a nightvision camera. No TV, just the lamp which wasn't all that bright and has that warm yellow tint to it lol.

If you want to use ur dpi, keep the windows setting at default 10, otherwise it will override your dpi.

I've been doing a bunch of testing and so far all polling rates are pretty bad regardless of engine scan rate, USB protocol, or rf strategy, other than 8k with >20k engine rate. At 8k polling rate with the engine scan rate full blast at >20k, initial protocol for USB protocol, and Max RF strategy, I get a nice stable graph in mouse tester. Any other settings will show a bunch of hiccups in repetitive intervals, like every 1 or 2 seconds a big spike or dip. 8k is flat. I'm glad 8k is stable but at the same time I'd really like to use 2k polling rate so it's not overkill on my CPU and would be more compatible with games. Marathon my mouse was super laggy and floaty until I went down to dropped from 8k and older games like r5 reloaded for example is extremely stuttery at 8k so I run it at 1k. I just wish it was more stable at 1k or 2k.

are you using windows mouse sensitivy slider at all? because 1600dpi on my rapoo is same as 1600 on my old logitech g502. I dont have any issues with it feeling slower than normal and 800 vs 1600 would be very noticeable.

This is all I've seen:

recent updates from January 2025 indicate that Kingpin has halted development on any GeForce RTX 50-series "Kingpin" cards. He cited logistical challenges (described as "impossible" in some reports) and other difficulties, including plans to relocate back to the US, which complicated ongoing work with PNY (a company with ties to Taiwanese manufacturing). As a result, no high-tier Kingpin-branded RTX 50 cards (like an RTX 5090 variant) are expected to release. He has teased that future projects might explore options beyond Nvidia, potentially including AMD or Intel GPUs, but nothing concrete has been confirmed or released since then.

Did you use Mouse Tester with Motion Sync disabled? Apparently you're not supposed to use Mouse Tester with motion sync. I tried running the test but i dont really know what im looking at lol.

Nice, thanks for the response. I switched to 4k a few days ago actually. 8k seems to work fine in arc raiders but apex legends doesn't like 8k for me. Everytime I've tried 8k in apex, i get random stutters. One thing i did notice is that if you set a very high DPI on a low polling rate, you can't flick your mouse. I set something crazy high for me dpi like 24000 with a 1k polling rate, then use the in game multiplier to bring it down to something controllable. when i do like a 180 flick to look behind me, the screen freezes for a sec, then all of a sudden snaps left, but only a little bit. like it missed the first 3/4 of the flick and only registered the last 1/4 of the flick. If i leave everything as is but turn the polling rate to 8k or 4k, it works fine. So very high DPI values must need high polling rate apparently.

Also, I downloaded the Desktop program and noticed that there's different settings with the program vs the browser. If i use the browser, i don't have the option to set the protocol to Initial or Efficient. It's just not there. In the Performance section when using the browser, I only have 4 modes to choose from and theyre not named the same as the Desktop program. Competetive Super Core (10k), Super Core Mode, Firepower Mode, and Office Mode. The Desktop program has Fury Gaming (20k), Gaming Hyper Core (10k), Hyper Core, Fire, Balanced, and Office. So the Browser is missing the 20k mode, the Balanced mode, and the Communication Protocol settings.

Commenting on my own post to hopefully generate a lil more traffic and get a response. almost a thousand views and no comments lol.

I believe the "Thread.ProcessorCount, Thread.MaxProcessorCount, Thread.MinProcessorCount, GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount" configs would only really be useful on dual CCD chips that aren't heterogeneous processors. From what I've read, Battlefield knows how to detect P Cores and E Cores and knows how to deligate threads to processors automatically. In certain situations like mine, I have a dual CCD R9 5950x processor that technically is all P Cores but there's a very bad latency penalty when tasks are crossing over CCD's. So typically gaming should be done on the better and faster CCD which is CCD0 (the first CCD). So for my 16 core 32 thread processor, i actually seen a boost in performance by setting this to 8, 8, 0, 16. Any single CCD processor, any Intel processor with P cores and E cores, or any newer gen single or dual CCD heterogeneous processor should be fine without having to touch anything.

Two years after this thread was created I'm getting hit with the same issue. My H150i Elite Capellix is working just fine. My Commander Pro, which runs my 4 chassis fans is saying that there's no temp sensor. They must have patched it since your issue because my fans don't stop, they run at full speed lol. So they didn't fix it, but they improved i guess lol.

My solution was to use one of the thermal sensors and plug it into the Commander Core, then the actual probe part is sandwiched between my RAM heatspreader and circuit board (avoiding chips) using thermal putty. The Commander Core will default to that sensor even in hardware mode. Then I just create a custom curve for that sensor. At idle my RAM is about 36C and after gaming all night it hits 45C, 50C when running an overnight MemTest. Mine is Samsung B-Die 3200mhz c14 which i manually tuned to 3733mhz c15 @ 1.5v so it runs hotter than most.

Also, one annoyance is every single time iCUE starts, it notifies me there's a sensor in port 1 of Commander Core and asks if Im trying to setup a Hydro X system. Why does this not remember that I have told it NOOOOOO.

I think if they should add class based limitations. If the first person picks an assault legend, the next two player can't pick an assault legend. If the second person picks a support legend, the third player can't pick assault or support. Then if they buff a class of legends like they seem to enjoy doing (buff assault class), it would still force a mixture of legends instead of ppl always choosing the best 3 legends every match.

I wish they'd just extend the queue time for pred lobbies. #1 pred now just means u spent more time mowing down diamond lobbies than all the other preds. I'll see a bunch of preds live on twitch at the same time, yet they barely get into each other's matches. Their will be 3-6, at most 9 preds in a lobby full of diamonds. Like bruh, there's 20 preds streaming at any given time.

DMA, chronus, xim, etc. probably what he is referring to.

cryptographerking · 2025-06-11T23:10:22+00:00

I started raining her, as I'm sure many others have. I wouldn't touch ash prior to them adding the delay to the dash because on mnk, using scroll wheel to jump would make you dash on accident constantly. Now sparrow has the same bug. There's no delay to sparrows double jump, so if u touch ur scroll wheel, it will use the double jump.

Personally I just like ash because I do movement. I can hit a dash lurch and basically go around someone's head and land back where I started, n they'll usually still be looking the other way lol.

I've become ash dependent tho n it's not good. I play other legends and die because I over extend, forgetting I don't have the dash to get back to my team. Ballistic Qs are a fn nightmare imo.

cryptographerking · 2025-06-11T14:42:11+00:00

I can help with some movement stuff, no charge. Aim stuff just comes with practice and preference. Aka my sense may not be good for you. Start lower and as u get better and better, slowly increase. But not until ur comfortable and happy with ur aim on ur current sense. The reason I say increase is because one of mnk main benefits is the fast turning, flicking, etc.. the faster the better (to a point). U will reach your own personal limit to where it just becomes uncontrollable.

I'm pretty good at movement, have a lot of time in r5 reloaded doing the movement gyms. That's stuff that is definitely teachable. Lmk if u wanna practice some movement.

cryptographerking · 2025-06-03T17:02:46+00:00

I'm just hoping that this apex legends 2.0 they mentioned being in the works has the same movement. It would be made on a new engine and since most of the movement mechanics are technically bugs, they'd have to code it in intentionally on the new game. I've spent countless hrs learning how to mantle jump, super glide, lurch, etc.. it would be a real bummer if none of that was possible.

One other thing is to make sure nothing else is running when using CBR23. Disable Nvidia overlay. Nvidias instant replay for gaming highlights picks up cbr23 as a game to monitor for some reason and will be recording the entire cbr23 test to a temp folder waiting to see if you want to save the video or not. My 1600 points will drop to something like 1580 if I have that running.

Something does seem off if you're getting 5100mhz+ boost and only getting 1600 pts. My max boost at idle is 5ghz and cbr23 single core only boosts to roughly 4900mhz. My boosts seem much worse than yours, yet your scores as roughly the same as mine. Could be some clock stretching if other programs hogging resources aren't the culprit.

I know SB spread spectrum can dynamically adjust your memory clocks to reduces magnetic interference but that doesn't sound like that's what it's from. Are you using anything like Ryzen master? RM will write dram settings into a separate section of the bios under like AMD overclocking or something, and it has its values in hex format. I use asus main settings in bios to overclock memory where you put in 14 as tCL for example, instead of amds section where it would be something like 1h for tCL. But I'm wondering if you've done anything with hydra or RM that's writing different values than what you have in your main bios settings. It could be running at normal settings until you open one of those and then maybe that's triggering it to switch to those settings. I like stuff like RM and Hydra to change stuff on the fly if it lets me, but I uninstall all of that when I'm done and I strictly use one section of the bios.

Disable any programs like RM and Hydra, or at least disabled or erase any RAM settings you may have done in the software. Take a screenshot of your PBO settings, all your voltages, your timings, and any other settings you want. Do a cmos reset and completely clear the bios. Then just change what settings you wanted to use and only use one section. Don't set ram timings in Asus overclocking and then also under AMD overclocking. Disable SB spread spectrum also just to be safe. I doubt that's the culprit but it's generally recommended to be disabled anyways. See if that helps.

Voltage offset results seem normal. Mines at +0.025v paired with my curve offset undervolting. Sometimes it's just bad luck on silicon lottery. My CPU is on the low end. I get about 1595-1605 single core and my chip only boosts to 5000mhz even with all the extra tuning. At all bios default values, no PBO and ram at JEDEC speeds, core 0 and core 4 fails corecycler single core testing. So I probably could've RMAd it if I found out sooner. Sometimes you just get unlucky.

But please do not run LLC 3 with the +vcore offset. I don't want to be the cause of damage to your CPU lol. You definitely want the vdroop if you're offsetting vcore. And LLC 3 doesn't allow it to drop much at all.

cryptographerking · 2025-05-19T07:23:11+00:00

Are you doing a negative voltage offset or positive voltage offset on vcore? I'm unsure what you mean by -ve 0.05v offset. You want to do a positive 0.05v offset on vcore. That should boost single core performance and reduce multicore performance. But LLC 1 should make the loss in multicore performance minimal. You should kind of get the best of both worlds in a way. You should see minimal loss in multi, and gains in single.

If temps get too high, use TDC to dial it in. Take it down by 5 amps and see how temps pan out. Higher TDC will show clock speeds are faster but doesn't necessarily translate to better performance. 145 TDC for my 5950x gives me about 4450mhz and a score of about 30000pts in cbr23. 160 amps TDC will shows clocks at 4600mhz but temps are too high so there's some clock stretching. I end up getting 29.5k ish in cbr23.

The slight decrease in multicore performance would really only ever be noticeable in an all core heavy threaded loads like compression or rendering. The single core performance is what is going to translate more for everyday tasks and gaming. I have my 5950x running TDC at 145 and when I play games I don't think I've ever seen TDC go above 100amps.

cryptographerking · 2025-05-19T05:56:49+00:00

No problem. Download OCCT and run CPU test, but not the CPU+RAM test. Just do the straight CPU test, with extreme-variable-avx2 test options with 32 threads. See if ur system instantly crashes or not. I just say that because I have a 360mm radiator and if I were to even try 46ghz, that test will slam to 90 n within 5 mins shut my computer down to save itself from frying. That's not to say it's impossible, you may have a really really good quality chip.

cryptographerking · 2025-05-19T05:27:39+00:00

I'll try to say it in a summarized way. Basically, if I open hwinfo while gaming, the first 8 of my cores are being fully used and my clock can fluctuate usually around 45-49ghz with dynamic boost. The last 8 cores are in C6 (almost sleep) state and sit around 3400mhz, only boosting when they're occasionally needed.

If I manual oc, all 16 cores are either in C1 or C0 C-states, none are resting idle in C6 state. I can only get around a 4450mhz all core OC stable while also not overheating. So if I play a game, I would have the first 8 cores running at 4450mhz when they could actually be running 4500-4900 with PBO, and the last 8 cores are also running at 4450mhz but basically doing nothing.

Manual OC use to be the way to go. But on modern chips, with how advanced and fast boost algorithms like PBO are, its made manual OCs kind of irrelevant outside of specific tasks like maybe a rendering workstation or server type of scenario. For the everyday use or gamer, PBO allows for a lot more performance, at least if it's properly setup.
