I've heard about power explorer and used it, but only here I find some details the Internet fails to cover. Bryan always brings the black PC magic and secret sauce to us.
I don't think those 3 settings alone would significantly improve performance. If you just enable ultimate power plan you basically get the most amount of performance you can. But realistically balanced power plan gives like %99 the same performance while allowing it to save some power here and there. I've been using QuickCPU to configure my windows power plans to actually save power on my laptop. Even on the power saver power plan, the cpu would boost randomly and cause fan noise. So I reduced my maximum frequency and boosting behavior.
The spikes in speed is not because of frequency. It is because of voltage, caused by frequency. You can undervolt instead. Then you can still boost and be cool.
I bought a Windows 10 pro license a few years ago using your code, I've built and sold 2 PC's and am now using what is the 3rd PC and still have the same Windows license, best $13 I've ever spent!!!!😂

My biggest tip for tweaking a system is, if you do not know what the tweak will do to your system leave system as standard. Second tip, note the change you are making and do them 1 at a time. It's so easy to do 10 changes to settings and reboot to find Windows will not boot, with the bonus of not knowing which 1 corrupted your system. (Yes, I have many t-shirts)
Bear in mind that the Windows 'performance' power plan will double or triple your CPU's idle power draw - my 9900K at 4.9GHz goes from about 8-9W to 22-24W, which translates to an at-the-wall increase of nearly 20W. ETA >> just checked with HWiNFO's monitoring my UPS for a minute each at 'performance' and 'balanced' and it's actually nearer a 10W increase, but still ... If you're someone (like me) who leaves their PC on pretty much 24/365 it's a consideration. I do this, BTW, because in my experience power-cycling (and the thermal cycling that goes with it) is what eventually kills electronics and components, NOT hours powered on - my old machine, a Z77, was powered on continuously for over 7.5 years of the nearly 10 I was using it and not a single component failed in that time, including a pair of HDD's running in RAID 0 (whose SMART data actually gave me those numbers).

Hello Brian. If you haven't already, can you please create a playlist on your channel page which contains all the videos about optimizing the system? I'd like to save that for whenever i build a desktop for myself to make it snappier.
To become the first person I’ve seen to go in depth in seeing like these and test them with a proper tool like LDAT would make me happy. I find we always go off of a software like latencymon to track progress, but hardware testing would go crazy ngl. Ofc responsiveness and smoothness of the system is more about feel tho.
Its a cool tool that ill probably add to my arsenal but realistically any even somewhat modern system you should be using the Balanced profile. You run into issues turboing and throttling using anything else. Also is all thats effectively available in WIn11.
Using idle disable on modern CPU's is insanity unless you have 420mm cooling and disabled eCores + Hyperthreading, assuuming you can still keep it cool.
There could be some benefit for benchmarking when chasing records to prevent idle during lower loads on older benchmarks, that don't stress modern CPU's that much. For daily usage it's a waste.
Noice, I just got me a 7800X3D, waiting on the mobo and ram and will do a fresh windows 10 install and this vid is just what the doctor oredered, thank you Brian!
Ryzen is better with Balanced power mode. And don't use any of these bogus tips, you will not notice a lick of difference and will simply use excess power.
So to anyone getting the greyed out apply button on win10 pro. The settings were un-hidden automatically for me after clicking unhide all. Go into your power settings and expand the selection as per the video instructions. After the recommended settings I did notice a ~10c temp increase(from 40c idle to 45-50+ range now) on my 5600x with the stock cooler/settings. It also reset my tuning profile on the 6700xt to default.
When changing the secondary name idle timeout? You are changing it to zero. Though my main question is are we making the secondary idle timeout happen instantly or are we turning it off entirely with making it zero?
I think your pc has other issues. While these tweaks can help in terms of microstutters they can't fix other issues wich could be related to your drive or other components overheating

0:35 Well as the high-end PCs are moving to OLED HDR monitors, using Windows 11 is a very must! For the lower-end systems that don't have HDR monitors, Windows 10 is probably a good go for couple years.
@@ScoutReaper-zn1rzIt cant be "fixed". It's inherit problem of OLED panel technology. The same way that IPS glow, TN viewing angles or VA smearing have not been completely "fixed" and will never be "fixed". Still most people use one of these panel technologies because that price is low enough and the downside is minimized so much that most people are not bothered by it. I suspect the same will happen with OLED. The burn in warranty years keep increasing, more care features are introduced and panel manufacturers will find a way to prolong individual diode lifetimes. But burn-in will never completely disappear.

If you install WSL then reboot it will then ask for a distro of your choice which could be version of LINUX and once you reboot you can make use of any package that requires LINUX.

They don't, or such tweaks tend in fact to make things worse, or potentially can shorten the life of components. The max power setting is a particularly notorious example that doesn't in fact improve performance at all.

using these methods have introduced massive framerate drops and frameskipping that weren't there before, in Metro Exodus. All my other games are fine, but Metro is now unplayable. I'm going to switch these back one by one and see if the game is getting fixed.
Does it fixes stuttering after alt+tab? I'm getting like 5fps per ~3s on game after alt-tabbing onto it. Doesn't matter if it's on full-screen, borderless or windowed.
You can try disabling "full screen optimizations" option in the compatibility tab for the game's exe. I had even worse problems of getting stuck when using alt+tab but disabling this helped and it's smoother now. Here is what it does according to ChatGPT: In Windows, the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" compatibility setting is designed to address compatibility issues that may arise when running certain applications in fullscreen mode, particularly on newer versions of Windows, such as Windows 10. When this setting is enabled for an application, it instructs Windows to bypass its fullscreen optimization feature for that specific application. Fullscreen optimization is a feature introduced in Windows 10 that aims to improve the performance and compatibility of games and applications running in fullscreen mode by allowing them to run in a borderless fullscreen window instead of exclusive fullscreen mode. However, some applications may not function properly with fullscreen optimization enabled, leading to issues such as input lag, stuttering, or graphical glitches. In such cases, enabling the "Disable fullscreen optimizations" compatibility setting can help resolve these issues by forcing the application to run in traditional exclusive fullscreen mode. Overall, this compatibility setting provides users with more control over how certain applications utilize fullscreen mode and can be useful for troubleshooting compatibility issues with older or more demanding software.
i use Process Lasso for automatic power plan switching, everytime i start a game it sets high performance and when i turn it off, it turns power saver, also sets priority and affinity to processes, in power saver i also have set maximum processor state to 85%, doing so changed the idle power take from 130W to 80W(the whole system, even monitor) speaking about monitor, it has button to switch profiles, when i dont game, i switch off "gaming mode"(over drive and brightness ect) on it what also cuts 20W
Hey Brian. @9mins, I've been using balanced mode because when I put my power plan on high performance I have noticed my cpu runs at max frequency like you have here. I havent unlocked any power settings though. Is it normal for the cpu idle state to be disabled by default? I made sure my minimum processor state is set to 5% like it is on balanced but it still runs at max frequency on high performance.
Enable Idle state my g and it'll allow the cpu to dynamically boost when needed instead of trying to run full blast similar to a static OC, plus it'll hurt single core perf (mainly games).

Don't set the "Secondary NVMe Idle Timeout" from 2000 to 0. The result was exactly the undesired effect Brian described. I started to get stutters. The other two "must have" settings are OK on my machine. WIN10, 13600k, Corsair MP600 PRO
@@techyescity A Corsair MP600 PRO. It's strange. It should have been OK. But I've been playing DRG Survivor and no stutters and frame drops whatsoever. I have a 4090. And in a few minutes playing the stutters came. Wasn't sure which setting was causing it, that was the first one I reversed and no more stutters.
Thanks G. I wonder why do games get more stuttery than usual. Turned out it's the Secondary NVMe Idle Timeout tweak. Brian I think you need to cover in the gaming perspective as well. Not just the editing and productivity though.
@@Jakiyyyyy I can look into, so it ended up helping you out? The person above said it was making his games stutter, which was very unsual at least compared to my testing. I will have to just ultimately gather some the most 'stuttery' games and test in those. Borderlands three comes to mind.
I went from a 3090 to a 4080 super and it is amazing. It 200 watts less with a higher frame rate and my pc is running much quieter. Also the 3090 ftw3 was routinely hitting 80-83c while gaming, while the 4080 super has yet to reach 65c.
But mine is already set in the "Ultimate Performance" mode? I think using just High Performance will lessen the performance of my PC ^_^ Yes there is "Ultimate Performance" mode settings, dunno why TYC's PC doesnt show it ^_^
Anyone unlock and have experience with "Ultimate Performance" Power Plan on Windows 11 Pro? Is it worth using? Differences between High performance and Ultimate Performance Plans?
oh the 10850 laptop, sounds like a monster after having 10700k. got my boot to 5.0 sec, ive seen 3.sec though. someone else was talking about the interrupts every 15ms omg, then changed IT to 5000. windows has a delay animation called MENU SHOW DELAY in registry, change it from 400 to 15, lmao, dont get a speeding ticket. Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Whilst I appreciate sharing these tips I do think it needs a more balanced approach - Disabling secure boot and TPM to save 3ms and telling people to download an EXE from an unknown dev could leave them open to root kits or worse. Chasing latency reduction at all costs might work to you, for others it would leave their system more vulnerable. It would be helpful to call out the risk they’re taking when these settings get changed.

@@yahyakrmly7119 Do I need to unlock this in power settings? I dont see any idle state...
@@tyroniebalonie Open CMD as admin and run this;

If you rewatch the video he states not to disable it since it does more harm than good.
Don't set the "Secondary NVMe Idle Timeout" from 2000 to 0. The result was exactly the undesired effect Brian described. I started to get stutters. The other two "must have" settings are OK on my machine. WIN10, 13600k, Corsair MP600 PRO
What SSD do you have? I definitely trialed this one back and forth quite a bit, my SSD was disabling the secondary timeout at 0.
@@techyescity A Corsair MP600 PRO. It's strange. It should have been OK. But I've been playing DRG Survivor and no stutters and frame drops whatsoever. I have a 4090. And in a few minutes playing the stutters came. Wasn't sure which setting was causing it, that was the first one I reversed and no more stutters.
Thanks G. I wonder why do games get more stuttery than usual. Turned out it's the Secondary NVMe Idle Timeout tweak. Brian I think you need to cover in the gaming perspective as well. Not just the editing and productivity though.
@@djexine Thanks for the input, do you have a heatsink on that nvme drive?
@@Jakiyyyyy I can look into, so it ended up helping you out? The person above said it was making his games stutter, which was very unsual at least compared to my testing. I will have to just ultimately gather some the most 'stuttery' games and test in those. Borderlands three comes to mind.
No idea what I'm doing wrong, but ran as administrator, clicked unhide all and nothing changed. The "Apply" button on left side did nothing.
same here
Same... anybody knows why?
Are you Windows 10 Pro or Home?
this is awesome
Funny enough i downgraded from a 3080 to a 4060 because 115w vs 450w max recently
Hoping for big power bill savings
I went from a 3090 to a 4080 super and it is amazing.
It 200 watts less with a higher frame rate and my pc is running much quieter.
Also the 3090 ftw3 was routinely hitting 80-83c while gaming, while the 4080 super has yet to reach 65c.
@@Pwnag3Inc i had a ftw3 too and yeah the temps have gotten out of hand recently
Should have undervolted and get a titanium psu
I peak 300w max on 4K 250+ fps on a 4090. U wasted more money buying another gpu instead of waiting for a next gen
No he didn't@@Whateverrandomname
now my screen goes into sleep mode even though i have sleep mode and screen timer all off.. 😮
If you have 8gb or 16gb ram, I recommend intelligent standby list cleaner.
i am interested in nvme tweak from a user perspective using primocache with 8 gig caches per drive
Now all that's left is to find a fix for Windows 10/11 stuttering when you connect or disconnect USB devices
What about ultimate performance setting?
Really want to be installing a program via a zip and tuning as admin? Seems sketchy
Is this also applicable in win 11?
Yes yes it's the same thing anyway.
But mine is already set in the "Ultimate Performance" mode? I think using just High Performance will lessen the performance of my PC ^_^
Yes there is "Ultimate Performance" mode settings, dunno why TYC's PC doesnt show it ^_^
Ultimate performance does nothing except increase the amount of power used.
@@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter i know hehehe, sorry if it didnt come clearly as a joke. also its just a reminder that it exists on some machines...
it boosted my rx6800 fps wish i knew about this before helped in shadow of tomb raider
would be nice to see this same experiment on a Ryzen cpu
I’ve tried this. All it did was consume more power than necessary
Sounds to me to advertise the program, I find it's a pointless thing to honest
What system are you running?
😂😂😂 people cry over their electricity bill yet I pay under $100 and that's with a 4090 and a 10900k, pathetic as hell
Both windws 10 and 11. @@stuartedwards6996
That's cool I guess...
Do you even know what you pay per KW? @@redclaw72666
can u upload the pow file ?
Anyone unlock and have experience with "Ultimate Performance" Power Plan on Windows 11 Pro? Is it worth using? Differences between High performance and Ultimate Performance Plans?
oh the 10850 laptop, sounds like a monster after having 10700k. got my boot to 5.0 sec, ive seen 3.sec though. someone else was talking about the interrupts every 15ms omg, then changed IT to 5000. windows has a delay animation called MENU SHOW DELAY in registry, change it from 400 to 15, lmao, dont get a speeding ticket. Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
So, don't do this for Win11?
Thanks brian, the hacks work fine for me (win 11)
Global c states off might consume more power but my system feels snappier.
Whilst I appreciate sharing these tips I do think it needs a more balanced approach - Disabling secure boot and TPM to save 3ms and telling people to download an EXE from an unknown dev could leave them open to root kits or worse. Chasing latency reduction at all costs might work to you, for others it would leave their system more vulnerable. It would be helpful to call out the risk they’re taking when these settings get changed.
Atlasos or more tweaked custom isos work great for gaming sure some security goes out the window but i myseld dont care
what about windows 11!? any hidden
You should buy a intel optane 900p if you love latency.
Doesnt unhide anything for me, but I also dont have nvme ssd
thanks!
Tutorial to disable everything… now u can be hacked 😂

I did all your settings just like you did them, my ANTIVIRUS DOESN"T WORK anymore wtf
My ultimate speed boost for Windows on my computer is to just install Linux 🤣
Pretty much snake oil, those settings will do close to nothing.
Careful, your ignorance is showing.
Do you think these settings will be optimal for AMD as well as Intel?
Cool tips! I personally use one of the AMD-specific Windows power plans, as I believe these are tailored for Ryzen processors.
There haven't been any AMD specific power plans for months now. Which means that you're using older chipset drivers and it would be worth updating them.
@@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter Is there any reason to update the drivers? I'm using a 5800 X3D and it's running great.
Nothing useful then when running a Ryzen 5 + Intel ARC which are very eager to save power at the expense of performance.
and because doing this i had to do fresh windows install 😅
