I noticed this a few days ago, when I had some issues, and disabled my overclock, and then re-enabled it.
At stock speeds ("UEFI Defaults"), Windows 10 is fast and smooth, and my mouse movements are smooth.
If I set freq to 3800, voltage to 1.325V, DRAM to XMP Profile 1, DRAM speed to 2400, and disabled "Global C-States" (a Ryzen overclocking recommendation from another user early on), and then boot Windows 10 - I get mouse lag.
Like, I can move the mouse, and there's a slight delay, and when I circle the mouse, it moves smoothly, then lags, then moves smoothly, then lags. It's the weirdest thing.
And I thought that last time I had it overclocked to 3.80Ghz (3800 setting), that I didn't have any of these issues.
I do have an RX 570 4GB XFX video card, running 17.7.2 drivers, of which I had to roll back and re-install those, rather than the newest Crimson drivers, because my Start Menu and Notification Menu weren't coming up when clicking on them, after upgrading Windows 10 to 1709.
I think that I may have noticed this on another Intel rig too, when I was running the newest CPU-Z. Can anyone try out the newest CPU-Z, and leave it running, on either a Ryzen or a G4560 / G4600 CPU, and see if you get occasional "mouse lags", when circling the mouse?
If this is a hardware issue, that would really bother me, but I think that it's mostly a software thing, though I haven't been able to fully track it down.
Edit: I just ran CPU-Z 1.81.1 x64, with my Ryzen R5 1600 at stock, while Mining with NiceHash in the background, on both the CPU and RX 570 4GB dGPU, and my mouse movements were smooth.
Edit: Ok, I rebooted, set freq to 3600, voltage to 1.325V, should be a simple and stable OC, then booted into Win10. Had some lag before opening CPU-Z, then I realized that the reboot, had triggered Windows Update. So I let that finish, reboot, and then with Skype, Task Manager, and Firefox Nightly running, the mouse circles are mostly smooth, but if I start CPU-Z 1.81.1 x64, then I get pauses, pretty-much every second or so, when I circle the mouse.
Edit: Closing CPU-Z 1.81.1 x64, and opening CPU-Z 1.80.0 x64, does the same thing, pauses every second or so when moving the mouse in circles.
Edit: Closing CPU-Z, and running CrystalDiskMark 5.2.1 x64, on my SSD, does not produce any lag in the mouse.
