Yeah it seems like it. CPU ports are usually better but that's not 100% of the time.
i'm aware that CPU ports aren't always better but it seems like with these results I am missing a piece of the puzzle.
these CPU port results are ridiculously consistent and not prone to any interference. while enabling /useplatformclock negatively impacts the measurings on the chipset port, they remain the same and just more aligned on the CPU port.
i don't want to bring in the argument "it feels better" into the discussion because it has no place in professional benchmarking but each month i return to retesting and trying to figure out this port.
thus i come here for any more insights as to what i could be missing.

if you have that graphs in safe mode you have issue with your bios, try diff pci usb controller / bios / cpu settings / usb settings (disable argb usb controller, sound usb, bluetooth, etc)
i've tested all of the suggestions mentioned by you in the previous motnhs extensively and comparing them A/B.
- all usb ports not in use are disabled in BIOS/OS.
- CPU settings have been tested at current OC vs stock.
- BIOS: RGB completely disabled on everything, disabled internal audio, external DAC only, disabled bluetooth
while this has generally helped me in lowering the jitter and overall results on the chipset port... it simply reduced the jitter on the CPU port
without lowering the
1.008 wall.
i can further disable services and interferences to lower my chipset readout to 1.0001 but whatever i do - i cannot lower it on the CPU port.
