1 more tip to make your pc faster: dust it! You'll notice much better thermals if you clean your fans from all the built up dust
This is the way
And the CPU heatsink itself.
True. Also, its fun af to clean a pc. Especially the gpu, a few days ago I cleaned my first one. Surprisingly satisfying
I have a new PC though. Just unbuilt with no GPU :(
@@ShehraanHafiz this reply is like an amazon answer saying "i don't know but..."
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.
I've installed a SSD in my gf's laptop. Boot time decreased from 5 minutes down to less than 30 seconds. Smartest upgrade ever.
@@adoniskomplex91 5 minutes is less than 30 minutes as well though
(/j)
@@andrix7777 Typo =)
True. When i bought ssd it was like so big difference nothing will help ur pc to be fast as SSD
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.
Generally yes, but keep it cool and you won’t have a problem!
Single channel to dual channel makes tremendous diff...never run just one stick.
Switching to an M.2 drive will make the biggest difference since the drive is the slowest device in the computer.
The m.2 makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE for sure
@@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 ✌️
Start Menu -> Privacy -> Background Apps -> Set the slider to OFF! Unless you use any of these apps in which case do it individually.
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
thnks dude
Thank you!
Cripes, why are all these apps even wanting to run in the background! Thanks for pointing that out.

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
The deaf guy: "I overclock my fans to %120."
“WHAAAAGHT??”

@@ethanfitton6336 tbh I think its ur choice, so I'm pretty sure it doesnt matter
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
I would LOVE this video in a step by step how-to-do version.

I've owned a PC over 2 years and It took me an embarrassing amount of time to learn that you had to enable special profiles to actually hit your RAM speed :")
Explain please, in detail and what you must do
Same. I was in bios for CPU overclock and didn't find it (MSI Tomahawk BIOS really is a mess to me) and stumbled upon the ram speed on accident, noticing it wasn't set to the speed it is capable of.
@@hayabusablaze hold F5 as you turn your PC on and the select XMP profile
I was like "thought XMP was for overclocking" until I noticed I had to turn it on to run my 1600 RAMs at 1600 instead of just 1333.
@@hayabusablaze Jay explains this in his "what to do after building your PC" video. But look for your memory settings in BIOS and Xmp or memory profile settings, set it to whatever speed of your ram. Then save and exit
Idk how much trouble it is, but if its possible in the future, setting up youtube chapters for your videos would really help find things in videos like this that we may already know about or not know about. Thanks for the video Jay!

Essentially just a time stamp Jay can create.
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.
Thermal paste on graphics card? What?
@@CubeX3 there is thermal paste on your gpus graphics processing unit chip under the heat sink.
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.

Talk about perfect timing I just opened up TH-cam hoping you had a video up and 30 seconds later
He is the chosen one
If the PC is many years old, a great way to speed things up, without any cost, is a format and fresh install of the OS.
You could just use a hard drive imaging program to take all of the pain out of this process.
I just had my custom build done a microcenter. Picked up the final build yesterday. It's beautiful. Highly recommend the KC location.
You can also change speed of GPU fans directly in Nvidia Overlay. You just have to enable beta option for Nvidia experience.
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.
@@bronzehd6212 I'm not sure it working like a 'Bulldozer' in games is a good thing q:
Now I'm getting FX-8320 single core performance flashbacks...
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.
@@mikfhan you don't need to worry about longevity when overclocking unless you run crazy high voltages
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 !
Thanks Jay.

For laptop users that have Nvidia Optimus, disable it or use an external monitor with the display out that is wired to the discrete gpu
Edit: refer to Jarrod'sTech videos on the topic
Thank you for this!! Especially number 5!!
Taking apart your current gpu, cleaning the fans and fins, and replacing the thermal paste, is huge for performance. I would do this before overclocking to ensure you can push it to its max without having to worry about thermals.
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.
Should I try this with my rx580 4gb cause it’s very inconsistent
@@j.m4a1 I would say yes, if it is unstable turn down the setting a little
Damn for a second I got excited but realized ryzen laptops don't support overclocking
Thanks jay.

If you're not familiar with your current bios settings, or if you've not been in there for a while, take a backup of your bios settings before making changes. If you need to do a bios reset because of a bad overclock then being able to quickly revert to a known good backup quickly is a big help
Check your start folder now and then, some software likes to turn load at startup back on without telling you, usually after an update.
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
Even though I've watched almost every pc building video there is to watch XD, this was pretty useful!
excited for the new vid, bet it will be great as always jay, keep it up 👍
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.
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!
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
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
That lighting in the studio is awesome.
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.
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.
Dude I don't even know if you're being sarcastic
@@alibeksalim7072 This comment is gold. I really do hope hes being sarcastic lol
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.
OUTSTANDING big help👍 you legend!
Hi Jay, hope your well. I just wanted to say you made a big impression on me about PC gaming and got me realllllly excited for owning a premium desktop, so much so that I ended up getting the parts that i liked and I am now a proud owner of a rtx 3090 strix with 10900k thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :)
Oh, the good old trusty make your PC faster video, cool
You don't understand how useful they have been to go through after not building a computer since AMD phenom days..
Great video from a TH-camr I trust! Ty Jay 👍🏻
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 !!!
Thanks for another great video, lots of good advice! what would you recommend for testing the stability of GPU/Memory overclocks? because with my MSI mobo i've used the in built "levels" of overclock and it would boot fine but then every once in a while it would freeze and crash, sometimes under load sometimes when just browsing youtube.
Thanks for the tips Jay :-)
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
Very good tips, I've already done most of these things. I don't have a system fan controller though, gonna check if I can do something about that in Bios.
Thanks for the helpful tutorial
i just replaced my case which has intake fans on the bottom and found out that gpu has better temps in this case, because bottom fans pushing fresh air directly to gpu. mobo chipset also has better temps. now i have 2 intake fans on bottom, 1 back and 1 top exhaust
Nice 👍
You can also go into Services and turn off additional updater’s + Programs that you barely use 🇵🇹

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
It means a lot help thank you for all your tutorials and other similar video tubes also. I have fixed all the problems the startup boot and it"s total processing speed is improved I only need sfc and Dism command b/c I found corrupt system file. GBU!
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.
I’m getting my first prebuilt for my birthday and this video can’t be at the most perfect time
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
Very informative video. Thank you so much!
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
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.
Yoyo had a good tip and chris titus has the one that I've used reliably on several computers to Debloat windows. I don't use his all in one single click through powershell. I go back to the one that he did in the longer video to reduce everything down so that I can maximize windows performance.
Just to mention that I tried OC my Ryzen 7 3800X. It got up to 4,500 MHz with the defaults in Ryzen Master. I didn't bother to go into manual tweaks. I was actually impressed. all the cores are individually controlled and sometimes 4 or 5 are asleep when there is no load. Thanks for the great info on your channel. I used it to OC my RTX 2060 Super and to get the RAM on level.
do you have to keep the Ryzen Master utility running in the background for the OC to work?
@@aminrahmany yes
Windows Debloater tools from Chris Titus is something I use on new Windows installs.
learnt alot through this channel
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.... ;)
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.
120mm AIO is too small to be honest
Thanks, Jay! I recently had to do a clear CMOS from Nvidia's latest driver breaking something, and I forgot to turn my XMP and CPU Boost mode in my UEFI. All the performances!!!!
Just to make it clear for you, a driver cannot break something in your BIOS/UEFI. If a driver causes problems, uninstall it using the popular DDU tool in safe mode and do a clean reinstall
@@ResurrectorRTX Yea you're probably right, unfortunately the display wouldn't even come up afterwards so I couldn't even get to DDU, so BIOS reset was my next logical choice. Then I did the DDU after. 👍😁
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?
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.
Thank you man!

I built my first gaming pc in January 2020 and while it runs games perfectly fine, the start up and general browsing is slower than before. I have the OS on a SSD along with a couple of games and the rest on a HDD.
I’m thinking of getting a nvme drive and just installing the OS on that thinking that it might speed things up. I will try your tips and some other from the comments too. Great video as always Jay!
ive noticed it right away after overclocking my cpu and turning up my fans on my GPU amazing
Making sure your hard drive doesn’t get too full is important. Your computer needs at least 10% free to maintain maximum performance. A program like WinDirStat (grand perspective on Mac) Is great for identifying places where you’re taking up too much room.
Here's a good one (really an extension of one of Jay's), if you buy a pre-system, check for any bloatware installed by the manufacturer.
If yes. manual uninstall or go with a fresh Windows 10 image.
put everything on the desktop in one folder and name it something...having a millions icon on your desktop can slow down the system every time the desktop icons refresh, especially at startup
go into system services and put some services on Delayed Start, so they start after everything else has started, however, careful with that one though
In the bios when I changed the cpu cooler setting from box cooler to water cooler it made a difference. Added like 200 points in XTU. I have a 10700k which I am new to K series chips and I noticed my chip was never even really pulling the 125 watt TDP. Enabling that now lets it pull more than 125 watts. Temps went up a little bit but with an AIO I was gaming at like 50 degrees with the stock cooler setting. Now when benchmarking it I might hit like 76 degrees and it draws more than the TDP the AIO cools its really well. Also game boost basically puts it over its 4.8 ghz all core boost constantly while gaming.
I actually just purchased a 970 evo plus last night. Finally switching from a mechanical hard drive. That should give some performance gains.
You are in for allot of fun! Congrats
I went from a 2008 build to a 2019 with a 970 evo, and it was crazy
I'm pretty excited. I've been putting it off for years now, but my 1TB is almost filled up. I wish I had PCIe 4.0 on my motherboard, because the 980 pro was only $20 more than the 970 evo plus.
@@garrettt6513 Oh wow I did not know the 980 was that close in price these days, so thanks.
It was on sale for $80 off. On samasungs website they still have it for 18% off it appears. I don't know about newegg though.
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.
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.
The way you install Windows is important as well. During a windows install I enter audit mode and change the install location of the user folder to a second drive so Windows is on C and user folder on D for example. Next install your internet browser on 3rd drive and change the download location to 3rd drive. For added prestige create a ram disk and move your browser profile to the ram drive. even when your computer is bogged down it will remain snappy.
