Thanks for replying i disabled L1 completely and my cache hit rate says 94.35% . ALso my L2 settings look fine?Jaga wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 8:59 pm Well, if you stick with 4GB for your L1 cache on D:, games that you regularly load will tend to speed up a -little- more because of that (the most often used parts of them will stay in L1, the rest in the L2). The large L2 will be your primary cache enhancer for things installed to D:. Try it as you have it with both caches on D: (L1 and L2), and see what your hit rate looks like after running a game a few times. Then run another game a few times, etc. Most of it will land in the L2, with a tiny bit staying in the L1.
In your case, I honestly think you can disable the L1 and leave all 16GB for the OS, browser, games, etc (and a tiny bit used by the L2 for overhead). You won't see that much of a difference just for the large game performance with a 4GB L1, and it will probably give more "headroom" for your games to run in RAM if you don't use a L1.

Also , what to do with block size? Its 16 KB currently , should i switch to 4KB as cluster size of my D: is 4096 bytes?
