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?

Agreed i see an slight increase when HPET is enabled on my Asus motherboard & windows 10 told to use HPET. used HPET since Win7 release.

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

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
