Manually tuning which cores are used for specific programs is useful because you can separate your main load from auxiliary system processes that happen on your system. You can launch apps with affinities and set affinities for important components like your GPU/USB controller, etc. While all of these steps are amazing for min-maxing your performance […]

Setting manual affinities for CPUs so you can manually optimize the way your games/tasks are handled is a quick way to gain some free performance that is left out by the Windows Scheduler. You have utilities like Process Hacker/Lasso that allow you to do this but then you need to have these apps open and […]

Having a fully activated Windows copy does not improve your performance but it does unlock the full OS experience and feels like a natural thing to do.

The Finals is the newest addition to FPS shooter games that are somewhat interesting to play due to the destructive environment and wide array of game strategies available.

One of the biggest reasons I hate RGB products besides cable management is the software that you need to install to control said RGB effects.
