Just wondering

[ViveLaVita]

So in a conversation I had with a friend we mentioned that it is possible to send your PC to a technician to optimize your PC to it's full potential. 

I was wondering if it's true or worth doing for my new pc. Keep in mind I am not interested in overclocking 

 

Specs below

CPU - Intel core i7 8700

CPU Cooler - Arctic Freezer 33 Plus

Motherbaord - MSI - Z390-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory -  HyperX FURY Black 2x8GB DDR4

SSD - Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND M.2 Type 2280 Internal SSD

Storage - 2TB

GPU - RTX 2070

PSU - EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 750 W 80+ Gold

What? Have never heard of such a thing. Sound an awful lot like a waste of money tbh.

You should do it, reach the maximum potential. Listen to your friend, he seems to know what he's talking about.

what windows version?

if this is built for you, why didn't the tech who built it optimize it?

[PopsicleHustler]

What do you mean by "optimize your PC to it's full potential".  Enabling XMP and using your dedicated GPU instead of integrated one is simple enough to do on your own.

Sounds like a good way to lose money... Just make sure your OS is clean and healthy, ensure your system is cool and make sure you're using XMP and that's pretty much all there is to it...

the best way to optimize a pc is usually manage cables, move your windows install to a ssd, put your ram in dual channel and put a better gpu 

 

said pc technician will charge you the cost of a entire pc for doing that

 

if ot os not that, he will install a windows optimizer, that cleans temp folders and checks registry entries and makes you feel like you got something but you didnt got a thing really

 

save your money, do it by yourself

Sounds an awful lot like what Tech Support scammers do after you give them payment

Thank you very much

Its not like high end audio or home theater equipment. You don't need specialist for it. Or actually you really don't need anything, not unless hardware is 5+ years old.

If you look to buy PC optimization, I have some beans to sell you

 

Do not spend money on whatever that is unless you get a full breakdown on what the person is doing.

Took me 5 mins to clock up my RAM and another 30 or so to use IETU to get the most out of my i5 8600, no OCing for me as im on a cheap mITX and aircooled with a bequiet slim cooler.

 

I can OC my RX580 but its just unstable and runs super well at stock, it was the cheaper end of the 580s anyway.

That just sounds like paying for overclock.

On my prebuilt back in 2009 I paid £15 for their mid range OC. Learnt how to do it myself and clocked up another 0.4. Ran that i7 920 at 3.8 from 2010 to 2018!

It's about as legit as buying a "supa fast" red sticker to put on your case if you are going to send your pc off to someone to get it optimized.
