My best advice to anyone with really old pc. Buy SSD. You have no idea how fast everything is after upgrade of this one single part. Bonus advice: clean the dust with canned air. Seriously.
An ssd is definitely a larger performance boost, and I'm glad I made that upgrade. But even just having a your OS on a separate mechanical drive will drastically improve the performance of you system as well.
Recently upgraded boot drive to an M.2, got another stick of RAM activating dual channel mode and gave my old GTX 970 a thorough dusting and it made a huge difference! My machine is quieter, cooler and snappier than ever. Those are my recommendations in addition to what Jay said.
@@chrono2959 hey, I have a 3070,a b550e mobo,2x8gb 3600 RAM, and a 5600x cpu,my current ssd is a WD 500gb NAND,would switching that for an M.2,or perhaps 2 of em make any difference in my system? I really appreciate it ✌️
Another tip for more advanced users: If your computer is getting old (5-6 years or more), you might want to think about replacing thermal paste. Even if your system isn't not overheating, thermal paste degrades over time, and I believe most thermal paste lose their efficiency after this time (y'all can correct me on this). This also applies to graphics cards.
It's amazing how much response you gain even on SSDs when you do this. It should be standard practice. Now they just gotta let us control it through GPO so it's not a per profile change
I found increasing the fan speed on my GPU made a HUGE difference in frame rates and stability on my XFX 5700xt, I only have to do this when running VR in MSFS but certainly a huge improvement.
That actually has compounded my snails pace machines problem .... I seem to have a dying , rarely working, fan in my laptop that I need to replace .... desktop easy ...laptop , > me nervous

I've seen the opposite when it comes to windows high performance plan vs balanced with ryzen. Something about the way core performance boost works, high performance doesn't allow the cores to down clock which means single cores won't boost as high. Alot of games rely heavily on single core performance so you'd be better off keeping the windows balanced plan on if you have Ryzen
@@TimBoundy why would you need to do manually a job a machine can do for you? Note that this usually happens with the file browser, that is a built-in software in Windows.
I recently built a PC and after having done all of your suggestions here, I found that locking all of my CPU cores at one speed gave me a more steady gaming experience. Instead of letting the OS, motherboard or background software raise and lower the clocks as demand changes, I told the CPU how fast to go and it stays there. The result is better response times and frame rates when conditions change in game. The maximum boost clock (dammit Jay now you have me doing it), turbo clock on my CPU is 4.7Ghz. I locked it at 4.4 for all cores. There was no messing with voltages or anything complicated. I simply went into my BOIS and set the CPU Core Multiplier to 44. The experience is smooth and reliable. Sometimes speed is not what you need, simply smoothing the frame rate can make a huge difference.
If it's possible to do this all-core OC through Inte/AMD tools for a profile only when you run games/processor intensive applications, it might save on electricity and longevity while you're just on youtube most of the day. It still retains the stable 1% lows while game is running (or alt-tab minimized) so hopefully still nearly as smooth as a BIOS provided OC.
When using the auto overclock options available to you make sure your cooling device can handle the pressure the hot cpu is pumping into it, some K series chips can hit close to or above 100c when running an OC
1 tip for amd gpu's when using the ryzen software, Go to performance and click overclock gpu, then write that number down. Then go to overclock vram and write that down too. After all of that go to manual tuning controls and input those number into the corresponding categories. Also turn up the power tuning. This is what I've found to give me a stable overclock without trial and error.
my brother has an msi laptop, they let you crank it to 150%.... and of course he did. and has a USB cooler, and a lap cooler, and if there was another thing he could stick to it im sure he would
@@angrynerd2103 power? bruh no one in the room could hear themselves talk when that thing was cranking. it was nuts. id walk by and blow at it just to meme at him, on my way up to my much quieter room lol

dear jay , because of your video i gained: from 3.8 ghz to 4.0 (auto oc) then to my suprise my ram was still at 2600 mhz since i enabled profile 1 in bios but i also had to enable it in my aorus oc app (3600mhz now) fan speed set to max thank you !
When you turn on XMP, make sure you set the VCCIO and System agent to 1.2V or else it will shorten and harm your CPU. When I turned on XMP on my 3600Mhz, The voltage went to 1.45v which is very high and harmful
I just download all those pop ups that say they’ll speed up the system. Hasn’t seemed to help but I constantly have IT guys calling and looking at my computer. I just gotta get em 1k in google play cards to get it fixed.
02:00 XMP profile 03:50 cpu auto oc 05:49 gpu tweaks & gpu fan speed 09:35 case fans 11:27 windows startup processes 13:44 windows power plan just to help.
what I do to help with performance is 2 things, every year i do a "deep-clean" of my pc. I take it out on my patio with some canned air and blow it out and use an old toothbrush to scrub off filter covers, fan blades and radiator(if i'm using an aio) or fin stack on my air cooler. the second thing I do every year is catalogue what programs I have installed and then do a fresh install of windows and then promptly follow that up by doing some optimization tweaks to windows(there are many guides out there, use one from somenoe you trust). of course this is in addition to what Jay has talked about in this video
Anyone still running their OS on an HDD needs to go to services.msc and disable sysmain service. While this doesn't matter on SSDs much, this always runs in the background, tracking every click, app, program, and function you perform, and usually uses between 2-8% of your DISK utilization all the time. Stop this service and turn it off. HDD's don't need this running.
Another place where not all startup programs are is "Background Apps" in the settings, did not know this one for years and always wondered why I could not find out where some apps were starting without me wanting them to. Hope this helps someone else out!
If you have an old pc the best thing to do is to add an ssd were you put your operating system just make sure that it has some dram and you will notice a big difference in your system responsiveness
On Ryzen the big thing I did other than update BIOS and tune the memory is actually to undervolt the CPU using a voltage offset - my 3800X was hitting 85C on a 120mm AiO and simply applying a -0.075V negative offset to CPU voltage dropped max temps to 65C with zero hit to performance. Single core boost clocks seemed to actually improve slightly for some reason too.
Ive only built one pc. Its a beast. I managed to do it right before all this covid stuff and the cryptos and all that took over. I also built it after i found JayzTwo. Def my fav youruber now
@@Kyharra Not exactly this video, though several that are similar and each of the similar ones have slightly different methods that depend on whether they're hardware or software focused. His reasoning actually makes sense to me though as to why these types of videos get re-visited. It's that there is an ever-growing amount of people interested in PC building and using, but they may not search back catalogs of content, even if that advice is similar to what would be advised now. So re-visiting the topic in a new video is likely to hit a new amount of audience, both through subscribers and TH-cam search/recommendation.
If you have had your graphics card for a while now, you could try to change the thermal paste to help thermals/ clocks, it costs of course. Also play on lower resolution and or detail.
1) and if you have a laptop you can only HOPE that the Bios allows you to enable these profiles or, at the very least, allow overclocking tools to be utilized. My personal laptop (while it’s actually modified desktop parts crammed in a large folding chassis) only allows me to reach 2400 speeds.
Yup! Not a lot of people use this, but it instantly closes out of all unnecessary programs and let's you and your machine focus on productivity boosting applications.

@@Tydox So, Intel drives RAM at its stock default speed while Hyper-V is enabled because in an enterprise setting, overclocked RAM *can* sometimes cause instability (Edit - While running a virtual machine). Disable Hyper-V / Virtualization in the BIOS and the XMP profile will let the RAM actually hit the speeds you are requesting. Bear in mind that without Hyper-V, you won't have access to Sandbox mode in Windows.
I do music production in Intel processor, i have maximum perfomance power plan and tweaked the turbo boost multipliers thanks to Throttlestop, i locked turbo boost speeds for more cores to the same frequency as one core (basically Intel's Adaptative Boost Technology without spending +500 dollars on i9-11900K). Disabled C1E (reduces perfomance in real time applications) in Throttlestop, and now i always get very high clocks without increasing voltages.
Another tip to add to add to these lovely comments: Clear the following places (type them in run) prefetch temp %temp% note that temp and %temp% are different And also go to %programdata% and check if you have any kind of unwanted cache or extra folders %appdata%, %localappdata% are worth checking for random junk too
if you've had your system for a while now: open it up and vacuum it, the dust build-up decreases cooling rates dramatically. unplug fans when vacuuming them as they may generate EMFs (voltages) high enough to overload and burn components
Thanks Jay. New is off the table until prices come back to a reasonable level. Making a few tweaks to get my tinkering fix and add smoother performance to my machine. This is wonderful Info.
Great Video. I would recommend "Core Parking" to your system. That means only cores which are needed are running in full speed. The other cores clocks down as low as its possible. So your single core performance takes advantage and your power cost will decrease very much.
I'm going to say "don't overclock your CPU/ GPU right now". You generally don't gain hugely from it these days. The extra heat and power will shorten it's life. Not usually enough to be a concern, but if your processor went pop tomorrow, where would you find a replacement right now?
I used ThrottleStop on an older Intel gaming laptop. Was able to lower thermals significantly, extend battery life, lower noise. Ended the frame stuttering on new scenes and tripled the avg frame rate.
I have a 1080 TI on water, and I actually had to go back to stock settings because of how often I used it. Started getting horrible coil whine on my OC setting. But I did use it a mine while I slept for 6 months. Just a thing to mention, is when you have older hardware, you could more easily ruin your card as things age.
I tried these tweaks on my intel based system on my hdd... and its working significantly well than the balanced preset !!! Awesome man !!! Great job !!!
A little thing I do that helps with load times and performance is to dedicate a drive to program files and the swap file (virtual memory) the faster the drive the more you will benefit. I boot from a nvme but have an ssd for my program files and swap file. You might think this slows things down but consider that without using another drive the os is using its own files, loading a program and filling the virtual memory. Give it a go n let me know.... ;)

Disable idle process it's worth up up to 25% when not at full load and 10% at full load. There is a command prompt entry to Unhide it from the power option in windows.
I had forgotten about most of this! I just assembled most of my build; waiting for the graphics card, but I'm using an R5 5600G so it's still quite usable as is. It's the first build I've done since everything was still IDE. Had to share the fact that I'm using an Antec case I had laying around...found a couple of QA date stamps from 2003! I'm modding the case a bit and will probably get a new case eventually, but I'm doing this to see how cheaply I could build a decent machine.
CLEAN OUT THE DUST!!! ROFL I'm always amazed when I get calls to work on PCs from people complaining about how slow their system has gotten or how it's acting strange, and one can of compressed air later all is fixed. LOL Your parts can't cool themselves if the inside of your case looks like a fluff bunny. (Or Dust Puppy for User Friendly fans.)
I always let my clients know if the PC is dirty I won't work on it until it is cleaned so extra charge if I have to do it which is about 99% of the time. No pushbacks at all. It's like they know already.

If you got plenty of ram, disable swap/pagefile. It works well for me, even with NVMe as im saving doing less writes on it. We all know that flash memory wear out when writing over time. So, if the system usage is well balanced on memory, you just dont need pagefile.
If you have more than enough RAM you can make yourself a ram drive a simulated hard drive made from the ram with special utilities and direct your temp files to the ram drive to keep the wear and tear away from your ssd It will help your components last much longer because the read and write are directed towards the ram drive at that point have been doing this for years. One consequence of using this software is your boot time will take a little bit longer because those files have to be rewritten into the ram each time you reboot but aside from that your system is much faster and will last much longer...
The best part I love about these you can do it yourself videos is when you come in to my computer shop. Don’t worry I treat you guys good I understand your gaming needs are really important to you. But I love these videos.

just to help.
My guy you stole this from the top comment
but thanks ig
what I do to help with performance is 2 things, every year i do a "deep-clean" of my pc. I take it out on my patio with some canned air and blow it out and use an old toothbrush to scrub off filter covers, fan blades and radiator(if i'm using an aio) or fin stack on my air cooler.
the second thing I do every year is catalogue what programs I have installed and then do a fresh install of windows and then promptly follow that up by doing some optimization tweaks to windows(there are many guides out there, use one from somenoe you trust).
of course this is in addition to what Jay has talked about in this video
Love these vids updated every now and then. Thanks!
Another tip is an old one, disk cleaner, it will appear when you right click on your "C:" drive. It allows you to remove/delete junk from your pc
Anyone still running their OS on an HDD needs to go to services.msc and disable sysmain service. While this doesn't matter on SSDs much, this always runs in the background, tracking every click, app, program, and function you perform, and usually uses between 2-8% of your DISK utilization all the time. Stop this service and turn it off. HDD's don't need this running.
huh TIL
I have a SSD but still, I disabled it since it doesn't seem to be relevant
helpdeskgeek calm/help-desk/delete-disable-windows-prefetch/
beware this disables memory compression too
10:47 "boost controller" someones got cars on the brain. lmao, love the content Jay.
Another place where not all startup programs are is "Background Apps" in the settings, did not know this one for years and always wondered why I could not find out where some apps were starting without me wanting them to. Hope this helps someone else out!
Me with a Laptop that I can’t do any of this on but chilling on 96 C CPU & GPU when playing Minecraft
There are laptop "trays" with fans built in for cooling.
Throttlestop is always your friend.
At least if you spill water on the cpu or gpu it won't get water damaged
@@0202-n7w yeah mr real shit as if those fans weaker than my ceiling fan gonna help
you can change bios settings, can change memory to faster memory most likely, can de-bloat the OS and can clean the system physically.
You can also go into Services and turn off additional updater’s + Programs that you barely use 🇵🇹
🇵🇹
If you have an old pc the best thing to do is to add an ssd were you put your operating system just make sure that it has some dram and you will notice a big difference in your system responsiveness
SLC cache is enough imo.
Downloading more ram also helps!
On Ryzen the big thing I did other than update BIOS and tune the memory is actually to undervolt the CPU using a voltage offset - my 3800X was hitting 85C on a 120mm AiO and simply applying a -0.075V negative offset to CPU voltage dropped max temps to 65C with zero hit to performance. Single core boost clocks seemed to actually improve slightly for some reason too.
Ive only built one pc. Its a beast. I managed to do it right before all this covid stuff and the cryptos and all that took over. I also built it after i found JayzTwo. Def my fav youruber now
Even though I've watched almost every pc building video there is to watch XD, this was pretty useful!
i alredy know everything in this video, but i still came here all excited bc i like jayz's videos, idk why its just good to wacth
I needed a small reminder of the little details, also his voice and style of video are just nice.
@@thetalesofdaneandco exactlyyy
Wait what I thought he already made a video titled this?..
@@Kyharra Not exactly this video, though several that are similar and each of the similar ones have slightly different methods that depend on whether they're hardware or software focused.
His reasoning actually makes sense to me though as to why these types of videos get re-visited. It's that there is an ever-growing amount of people interested in PC building and using, but they may not search back catalogs of content, even if that advice is similar to what would be advised now. So re-visiting the topic in a new video is likely to hit a new amount of audience, both through subscribers and TH-cam search/recommendation.
If you have had your graphics card for a while now, you could try to change the thermal paste to help thermals/ clocks, it costs of course. Also play on lower resolution and or detail.
1) and if you have a laptop you can only HOPE that the Bios allows you to enable these profiles or, at the very least, allow overclocking tools to be utilized. My personal laptop (while it’s actually modified desktop parts crammed in a large folding chassis) only allows me to reach 2400 speeds.
Great video from a TH-camr I trust! Ty Jay 👍🏻
When you're playing a match, just hit Alt+F4 then enter at the same time! Instant turbo boost!
It's always a special moment when someone falls for that.
Yup! Not a lot of people use this, but it instantly closes out of all unnecessary programs and let's you and your machine focus on productivity boosting applications.

Thanks
Wow! 20 years with PCs and I had no clue about half of the things that were mentioned here. Thank you!
I just went back to this video because I remembered he said "you are hoping the bubble of Etherium and Bitocin is gonna burst". That day is here! It's a good day to build a PC LOL
Ethereum and bitcoin don't even use GPUs
@@lyle9249 mining it more effective with multiple GPUs.
Are you dumb? You cannot mine BTC or ETH with a GPU...
never switched from one video to the other that fast lmao I love your videos
Every time you do these Jay, I go through and check to make sure I have them all done.
Quick tip on the RAM: If you are on Intel and the XMP just isn't holding, disable Hyper-V / Virtualization in the BIOS.
What does it do?
@@Tydox So, Intel drives RAM at its stock default speed while Hyper-V is enabled because in an enterprise setting, overclocked RAM *can* sometimes cause instability (Edit - While running a virtual machine). Disable Hyper-V / Virtualization in the BIOS and the XMP profile will let the RAM actually hit the speeds you are requesting.
Bear in mind that without Hyper-V, you won't have access to Sandbox mode in Windows.
I do music production in Intel processor, i have maximum perfomance power plan and tweaked the turbo boost multipliers thanks to Throttlestop, i locked turbo boost speeds for more cores to the same frequency as one core (basically Intel's Adaptative Boost Technology without spending +500 dollars on i9-11900K).
Disabled C1E (reduces perfomance in real time applications) in Throttlestop, and now i always get very high clocks without increasing voltages.
Another tip to add to add to these lovely comments:
Clear the following places (type them in run)
prefetch
temp
%temp%
note that temp and %temp% are different
And also go to %programdata% and check if you have any kind of unwanted cache or extra folders
%appdata%, %localappdata% are worth checking for random junk too
Bring me another iFixit funny commerical!
ExPlOsIoN!
IFIXIIIIIT!!!!
Are you tired of jay not giving you your favorite commercial? Ifixiiiit!
Thanks for the tips Jay :-)
Thanks for the info!
if you've had your system for a while now: open it up and vacuum it, the dust build-up decreases cooling rates dramatically. unplug fans when vacuuming them as they may generate EMFs (voltages) high enough to overload and burn components
Thanks Jay.
New is off the table until prices come back to a reasonable level.
Making a few tweaks to get my tinkering fix and add smoother performance to my machine. This is wonderful Info.
Great Video. I would recommend "Core Parking" to your system. That means only cores which are needed are running in full speed. The other cores clocks down as low as its possible. So your single core performance takes advantage and your power cost will decrease very much.
How do you do this?
I belive there is a free program called QuickCPU that allows you to tweak such things.
Jayz: “CPUs are bad as they were last year”
Intel: Y U NO BUY 11gen?
bcoz no guud
Actually, an i5 11400 is $180 (USD) on amazon right now, which is a comparable CPU to a R5 3600.
Because Ryzen is better in every way. Lmao I had to. I am an AMD fanboi though.
@@kasper_429 But you're wrong.
I'm going to say "don't overclock your CPU/ GPU right now". You generally don't gain hugely from it these days. The extra heat and power will shorten it's life. Not usually enough to be a concern, but if your processor went pop tomorrow, where would you find a replacement right now?
Great tips! All good ideas, especially disabling 'start at system start' options on programs (apps) and cranking up our case and GPU fan speeds.
I used ThrottleStop on an older Intel gaming laptop. Was able to lower thermals significantly, extend battery life, lower noise. Ended the frame stuttering on new scenes and tripled the avg frame rate.
You missed the driver updates for your Mobo/chipset and SSD read/write speeds.
Glad to see you mentioned the boot up programs in windows. Also if they have an SSD vs M2, get the M2 if possible.
M.2 is just a form factor, it doesn't mean anything. I think you mean an Nvme SSD is better than a SATA SSD
learnt alot through this channel
I have a 1080 TI on water, and I actually had to go back to stock settings because of how often I used it. Started getting horrible coil whine on my OC setting. But I did use it a mine while I slept for 6 months.
Just a thing to mention, is when you have older hardware, you could more easily ruin your card as things age.
I tried these tweaks on my intel based system on my hdd... and its working significantly well than the balanced preset !!! Awesome man !!! Great job !!!
excited for the new vid, bet it will be great as always jay, keep it up 👍
Windows Debloater tools from Chris Titus is something I use on new Windows installs.
This thumbnail made me click instantly
Cluck
It made me click, and I already know this stuff for the most part
A little thing I do that helps with load times and performance is to dedicate a drive to program files and the swap file (virtual memory) the faster the drive the more you will benefit. I boot from a nvme but have an ssd for my program files and swap file. You might think this slows things down but consider that without using another drive the os is using its own files, loading a program and filling the virtual memory. Give it a go n let me know.... ;)
Hi man I have my power plan on ultimate would you recommend switching to high?
My 3070 gonna come home to me in 3-5 days!!
2 weeks for me.. yay!🙃
My gt 1030 will come with me in 2 years
It's so amazing. Got mine last week.
Hell yeah, thats gonna be a sweet ass day!
1:17 Gotta love Yahtzee for his Witcher 1 review in 2011 for that
I recommend depressant class drugs, slow your own performance to make your computer's seem faster.
@@bronzehd6212 Idiot. It's "Thinking box the outside"
ha ha illicit drug use is funny yay
@@Platinum_Tugboat beer is a depressant, cbd/thc are depressants, and having to explain that not all drug use is illegal or immoral is pretty depressing to explain too.
Disable idle process it's worth up up to 25% when not at full load and 10% at full load. There is a command prompt entry to Unhide it from the power option in windows.
I had forgotten about most of this! I just assembled most of my build; waiting for the graphics card, but I'm using an R5 5600G so it's still quite usable as is. It's the first build I've done since everything was still IDE.
Had to share the fact that I'm using an Antec case I had laying around...found a couple of QA date stamps from 2003! I'm modding the case a bit and will probably get a new case eventually, but I'm doing this to see how cheaply I could build a decent machine.
CLEAN OUT THE DUST!!! ROFL
I'm always amazed when I get calls to work on PCs from people complaining about how slow their system has gotten or how it's acting strange, and one can of compressed air later all is fixed. LOL Your parts can't cool themselves if the inside of your case looks like a fluff bunny. (Or Dust Puppy for User Friendly fans.)
I always let my clients know if the PC is dirty I won't work on it until it is cleaned so extra charge if I have to do it which is about 99% of the time. No pushbacks at all. It's like they know already.
Jay I was deadass googling how to make my pc faster and you just so happened to upload this. ( you stalking me man).
I see that Bakkesmod, you can't hide your rocket leaguing from me

Ahaha
If you got plenty of ram, disable swap/pagefile. It works well for me, even with NVMe as im saving doing less writes on it. We all know that flash memory wear out when writing over time. So, if the system usage is well balanced on memory, you just dont need pagefile.
If you have more than enough RAM you can make yourself a ram drive a simulated hard drive made from the ram with special utilities and direct your temp files to the ram drive to keep the wear and tear away from your ssd
It will help your components last much longer because the read and write are directed towards the ram drive at that point
have been doing this for years.
One consequence of using this software is your boot time will take a little bit longer because those files have to be rewritten into the ram each time you reboot but aside from that your system is much faster and will last much longer...
watching the microcenter part is like heaven
Also, if you have a high refresh rate monitor, don't forget to change the refresh rate in Windows to something higher than 60Hz (Windows default) ;)
Only free if you already have it, but remember to turn on RGB to max out your FPS!
I dnt have rgb fuck
I will have an RGB RAM.
I have another one. Enable your monitor to use it's highest framerate! Most monitors above 60hertz will need to be manually changed!
This is spending resources, not saving them. Your pc will be faster at lower resolutions, but sacrifices visual continuity.
The best part I love about these you can do it yourself videos is when you come in to my computer shop. Don’t worry I treat you guys good I understand your gaming needs are really important to you. But I love these videos.
Make sure your RAM sticks are in the right slots for dual channel mode and also most optimal
