Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I'm glad that I found this.... as others have mentioned I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out why my memory latency has shot up 5-10ns ever since installing the the Aquacomputer gear in my watercooled PC... like others, I started closing programs one by one and sure enough, I pinpointed the problem to be AQS. Knowing that is a pretty big hit, especially on a gaming PC, I'm curious... do I even need this service running? I have an Octo, 2 farbwerks, 2 H...
