Hello!

 

I have motherboard ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0.

Operating system - Windows 7 x64.

When I turn on parameter HPET in BIOS, the time in Windows begins to lag behind real.
In 1 minute there is a lag for 20 seconds.

And begins a glitches when playing some games.


Is It malfunction of the motherboard?

Easy solution for this one... Turn if back off bud. My understanding is newer motherboards with Windows 7 and higher SHOULD NOT be using HPET. Anyone with a better understanding of this please chime in.

where did you read that?  I would say its complete opposite, older OSes do not support it while new current ones do.. Windows 7 has support for it, but you have to tell it to use it from my understanding.  XP before sp3 did not support it,

It seems articles on it after about 2014/15 are saying to turn it off. Maybe a Windows 10 thing?

This was the Neowin discussion back in 2012 which is saying what you said that HPET needs to set to be the only timer...

 

 

My question to the OP is if you are doing a lot gaming why are you even using Windows 7?

I haven't absolutely understood question.
Why I use Windows 7 and I do not use new OSes?
Because I have more got used to Windows 7

Well you seem to be concerned about performance and Windows 10 is faster. Windows 7 is a dead end with no DirectX 12 support for gaming. I am sure you can get "used" to Windows 10. LOL

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
    • It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
