Ryzen PCs run better after sleep

[Vortex13]

Hi all,

 

I have two Ryzen based PC's that feel like they have some sort of mouse input lag upon first boot or restart.  One workaround I found is putting them to sleep and waking them up, the perceived input lag disappears and systems feel buttery smooth.  My aim feels a lot better in games and just generally navigating the desktop.  I have tried different mouses and mouse pads, multiple monitors and cables etc. 

 

I thought it was something like a house power issue, but I built my buddies 2600x system at my place and it did not exhibit this, also my old intel 6700k system does not have any problems.    Could a CPU cooler cause this? Both are running a corsair AIO, different models though.  I had been running my 2700x system with the stock wraith prism and it actually felt like the issue was gone.   If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated.  I'll put the specs below.

First time I hear about this issue. I have a 3900X system. Really don't notice the problem you mention.

What mice do you use ? Are there keyboard input lag too ?

There may be some on the keyboard, however I can't really tell.  It is most noticeable on the movements of the mouse.  I have also tested mouse clicks using human benchmarks reaction time test, there does not seem to be any difference regarding the clicks, I will average around 170-200ms in that test. It's more the movements where I feel like it's dragging.    

 

Mice:

Corsair M65 RGB

Corsair Ironclaw RGB

Corsair Scimitar RGB

2x Logitech G305 (Wireless)

2x Logitech G402 Hyperion

Logitech G502 HERO

Logitech G502 Proteus

Glorious Model O Minus

 

Keyboards:

Logitech G Pro

Corsair K65 RGB

Corsair K65 RGB LUX

LatencyMon shows all green no issues, and trust me I have tried everything in that article.  This is honestly the strangest issue I have ever seen.

I have similar problem with my hybrid wireless\wired Corsair Harpoon but it works good on wire and regarding sleep it actually starts to get slow after sleep-wake cycle, not the other way around. Did you try to uninstall all the drivers (revert to OS stock ones) and uninstall various bloatware like motherboard software and such (including Corsair iCUE) ?

Absolutely, I have done probably about 15 clean installs, and have tried with minimal drivers and software.  I tried even without the sound drivers for example.  One thing on the Asus X570 board I disabled XHCI handoff in the BIOS recently and it feels slightly better, although it still feels smoother after sleep mode.  However on the X470 board disabling XHCI handoff doesn't seem to make a difference.
