My easy Tips to reduce Input Lag!

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

ECC UDIMMs.
My UDIMMs have on-die ECC. What is the difference between that and an AM5 BIOS setting of "ECC"? Is it preferable to disable it in BIOS and let the on-die ECC do the error correcting instead?

Played a game with them on same core and it felt worse, pc felt more unresponsive in general so I switched back and now it feels better.
sometimes i get delta 1990-2010hz on usb controller. im need restart usb controller 1-10 times to fix it to 1999-2001hz. i cant explain that, but it cause on clear install.

This is a common misconception due to incorrect marketing from DRAM vendors. What I was referring to is side-band ECC
Take a look at these articles:

MemTest86 - ECC overview

Intel — Everything You Need to Know About. Error Correcting Code (ECC) Memory. The difference between ECC and built-in data checking.

How often do ECC errors occur?

ECC vs non-ECC differences for server performance

Somewhat of a tl;dr:
Scenarios where you're protected:
1) “On-die” ECC, “non-ecc” UDIMMs
Transit => no
Rest => yes

2) “SIde-band” ECC UDIMMs:
Transit => yes
Rest => yes&yes (more protection)

Hope this helps.
