Hi, so I have been in a situation where my audio crackls and buzzes randomly from time to time, I also have some interruptions in games, some games.
But anyway, I ran the 2 monitors as the titles includes, in latencymon I have:

ps: I tweaked around drivers, my pc is using OEM drivers because it is a workstation, I used the only ones I could find on dell website.
Some drivers were auto downloaded by windows but I disabled the auto update and managed to find the correct ones by dell, the basic ones only, chipset, storage controllers, audio, etc.

My specs:

Gtx 980
Mobo: dell precision t3600
Cpu: intel xeon e5-1620 3.6ghz.
Ram: 8gb. 4x2gb sticks.
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit.

[FONT=Verdana, Tahoma, Nimbus Sans L, arial, sans-serif]So after fixing the dpc latency to a managable state I cannot find a solution for the hard pagefault issue, and in games, when the game loads up assets is when it does more time than it should to load them. Like a spawn of an AI, an effect or anything like that, the gpu is a beast and runs pretty smoothly and it is stable as it can be. Cpu as well, I ran ram and hdd full scans to check for bad sectors, and bad memory, no problem so far. I use the default bios settings of the specific mode minus the cpu intel things like speedstep which caused dpc latency and I can confirm that. So if you want more info I connect you to this thread to see what I have done already , besides all the basic troubleshoot of microsoft and dell. [/FONT]
The microsoft support suggests to me to pay 100+ bucks in order for their team to provide better support, I declined since it is pointless to do so, same money could go for better components if they have any issue in the future, like better ram. But for now they should run properly as they are.

You may refer to this thread I made in order to check what I have done already:

Dell drivers are not, usually, up to date.
Try and get latest at the OEM's sites, especially the Intel ones.
Install the latest Nvidia driver from Nvidia.
Make sure you have the latest bios.

Go to your advanced power management and try turning off link state power management under the PCI express section.

By the way, just saying, you may want to find some other image hosting site... that one will try to hijack your browser with some BS fraud Microsoft says your infected popup; and, in the background is shows some fake settings screen and shows a number to call some 1-866-xxxx.

I have already done all that, intel doesnt really provide much help in finding the drivers, but all drivers are from 2015, non the less I have no dpc latency, trying to make my pagefile from lets say 8000 to 50000 makes the process of latencymon getting to red slower but still the problem will exist, and after that, the next times it will be red instantly, I tried disabling the pagefile of course.
the hosting site doesnt bother me since I have my antivirus enabled at the moment, and anti pop up.
nevermind that. I have the latest updates now, used driver booster and driver identifier as microsoft recommended.
 
Well, the hosting site might bother others who go there to look at your screen shots.:shadedshu:

Funny most of my Intel drivers are from 2016.

Since you state you done all that... I have nothing else.

Most of those latency problems are, usually, associated/fixed with a driver or settings in windows.

Also, try this; in the windows advance power management; set the wireless adapter (if you are using one) setting to Maximum Performance.

I am wired, okay then.
I cannot find the drivers myself, and driverbooster downloaded me the latest ones, driver identifier too, if you have something better to suggest I am all hears, intel auto update also do not detect anything else. Dell command update neither.

Probably the first one who has had problem with this host, none ever said it is an issue but I cannot know since my browser is protected.
 
By reading your posts over at linustechtips... have you tried killing the lolclient and other lol processes and trying to test.
Also, check your temps while stressing your system and at idle.

did both in the past, the fact is I happen to have it open at the time.

Here is an image of my HDD specs, according to intel rapid storage enterprise.

the first controller has 1 available disk , the second one has 0. and generally all 0.

Good job, now what?
Whats up?

Here is something for you.

I am getting offended so I leave,
if that is what you want.
Offending me for lying is unpleasant.

Thanks for anyone who tried to help.

good day.
