LED Tool causes periodical frame drops/microstuttering #46

Hey guys! I just became aware of this issue and thought you'd like to know. I had been using the Tool in colour changing mode (depending on the temperature) and in the last couple of weeks I noticed frequent periodical and precise FPS drops/stutters. I tried everything: changing settings and turning every option off, disabling mods, switching 32- and 64-bit clients, windowed and FS mode, V-sync, removing drivers with DDU and adding latest, memory testing, changing CPU clocks... you name it. And the last thing I did was to remove the Tool's registry key and it's files, and suddenly the problem was gone!

Anyway, to describe it: it is very periodical and precise, as I already mentioned, and it happens about every 3s where FPS drops from 60 to 50s, 40s, or even 30s for about less then a second. It happens whether I'm moving or standing. If I'm standing, the environment and NPCs visible will stutter. And it happens from the moment I start the game. Games are far from unplayable, but it's very noticeable and annoying (at least for me). Also, my components haven't been overheating. CPU temps haven't gone much over 40°C while GPU hasn't gone over 60°C, which was nicely indicated :)

Games tested on: Guild Wars 2 (64-bit, runs from SSD) Blade & Soul (64-bit, runs from SSD) Skyrim 2011 edition (runs from HDD) The Talos Principle (64- and 32-bit, runs from HDD)

My rig: MBO: GIGABYTE GA-Z170-HD3P CPU: i5 6600K (tested @3.5 GHz and @4.0 GHz) GPU: MSI GAMING X RX 470 4GB RAM: 8GB DDR4 2400 CL 15

AMD drivers tested on: 17.2.1 17.7.2

OS: Win7 64-bit

Hope that it helps!

I've also had the same problem. I actually reinstalled windows 10 because I couldnt figure out what was causing the issue but then found out today that it was this program.

This is related to the graphic card itself. This tool is not optimized. See my version ;)
