Amd Sata Controller Driver Windows 81 1
AMD Sata Controller drivers stutter for anyone?
EDIT: I think i figured out my issue. It was a) board sensor bug with hwinfo64 b) temps because i hit 100c on a badly mounted spire during p95, now with 120mm AIO i only just breach into 78c tops OCed
Here's the old post if anyone wants to see:
I noticed insane stuttering with this driver. no matter if 2015 or 2017 version, i even tried to upgrade via driver booster, so i device manage'd and set back downgrade to the Microsoft AHCI driver. What did AMD think to still include this in AMD Chipset Drivers pack in latest march 2k18 i have no idea. I had a horrible 'pause' stutter while playing music on headphones loud, it was a horrible shaky feeling :(
NOTE: I am not writing this up to troll, or slag off AMD, i am a mostly happy user of AMD h/w on PCs, i just wanted to bring up a very small discussion if anyone even noticed this alone from me.
Obviously i will always untick this but what is the point of this driver if it only is worse than Microsoft's AHCI. Even some AMD dude at some point, IIRC, said that Windows 10 already has SATA drivers okay for Ryzen chipsets. This really can cause a horrible view of ryzen not being so 'stutter-free' as it really is, because i reproduced this problem with Biostar Racing X370 and ASUS Crosshair VI Hero and B350-Prime Plus. I reckon the only reason why anyone has no stutter with this specific driver inside the chipset package, is certain OEM boards with the specific SATA controllers with automatic settings, that do not interfere with the buffer. Again, i would not recommend installing this, untick it!
