Ideas to reduce DPC latency and weird system pollings
So,
I updated my machine from i5 with 8gb to i7 6700K that I run at 4.5Ghz with 16GB of 2600Mhz RAM and a VNAND drive right on the motherboard. Asus Maximus 8. With hopes of speeding up the system of course.
Well, it ain't working. The system is clearly slower than the old one was.
Of course there is a bit more oomph in calculation power and plenty of memory and it loads programs super fast...
BUT there is terrible DPC latency and weird holdups where the whole system sort of halts for a second or two even now and then. Latency monitor shows barely acceptable levels and peaks now and then so that even like video playback halts. Got hundreds of thousands of hard page faults in resource monitor.
I have tried removing each component both physically if possible or from Device Manager but nothing seems to help. It's like it just decides to suddenly peak everything. I tried not overclocking, even reinstalled win 10 twice clean and nothing seems to have any effect.
I'm guessing it is mostly a hardware thing then? The motherboard is clearly geared more towards gaming use not heavy AV work I use it for, maybe that is the issue? I tried not installing mobo drivers, swap memory module places, removing display card, sound card....no difference. BIOS safe values, hours of trying stuff there like disable virtualization, disable everything I don't absolutely need, disable USB, network, all I can...running out of ideas.
Anybody have ideas what more to try?
