[SOLVED] [Win8.1Pro N] Audio lat. issues (High exec. time of NDIS). FIX: FORMAT/UPGRADE TO 10

Re: [Win8.1Pro N] Audio latency issues (High execution time of ndis.sys)

Keep us posted on any latency issues.

Apparently it just needed some time, still have the issue. I even bypassed my bridged router and ran a long cat6 cable to my primary switch. So no bridge mode, no wifi adapter, just a wire running 75-100 feet to the 8 port switch served by my ISP-provided (and required) modem.

Note: Also since we've been messing with my GPU a little, I did a clean reinstall of its drivers as well.

There doesn't appear support for your motherboard for Windows 8/8.1, would you be ok with upgrading to Windows 10 or going back to Windows 7?
 
Re: [Win8.1Pro N] Audio latency issues (High execution time of ndis.sys)

I'd have to go to 10. If that's the case, how would I go about preserving my overclock through the upgrade? Also, what would have changed that this setup was fine for years on Windows 8.1 without this audio issue?

I wouldn't recommend to keep any overclock while upgrading.

A lot has changed, mostly internal.

Do you know if when the BIOS update says it'll revert settings to default, does that mean it'll clear my presets as well? I don't mind temporarily going back to 3.3 GHz during the upgrade and then having to retest the OC, I just don't want to lose an overclock that I spent an entire day tweaking if there's any way to avoid it.
 
Re: [Win8.1Pro N] Audio latency issues (High execution time of ndis.sys)

A bios update can mess up settings and reverts your overclock. You need to check the settings after an update.
 
Re: [Win8.1Pro N] Audio latency issues (High execution time of ndis.sys)

Alright, I'll work on getting the computer in a good state to upgrade, it might be a few days. I'll check back in once it's all set with Win10 and all the new motherboard drivers/BIOS.

Been running Windows 10 for a couple days now, yesterday was the first full "typical" day. So far, the issue hasn't come back. Going to give it another couple days but it looks like Win 8 really was the cause or just something else that was wiped out by doing a complete format of C:
