Help with pc

[Devdyuk]

Alright so i have an amazing pc titan x 5930k etc all the goodies thing is it doesn't seem fast for all the specs i got in it i have an ssd and steam games like tf2 still take like 30 sec to load before it use to be instant and i even fresh installed windows and restored it and it still takes 30 sec as to before it was instant and google chrome takes like 2 seconds to open and all that i have asus rampage 5 mobo and was wondering if there are any things i need to have enabled to have the fastest pc i could have maybe even one of you could remote desktop to my pc via teamster or something and check everything out thank you

any what OS is it?

the install was on the MBR or GBP partition table?

any SSD/HDD RAIDS?

under the MSCONFIG>Boot>advanced options, how many cores are used for boot?

I did not know I could set the number of processors. If it is unticked, does it only use 1, or does it use the max>

tick the 'number of cores' box and change to 4 cores.

have you installed the chipset drivers, intel engine management and the ASmedia SATA controller drivers (enabled, if not using it, disable)?

if not using the WiFi/BT, disable those in the UEFI.

verify the SSD is plugged into the non-SATA Express ports (should be ports SATA6G_1,_2,_3,_4, _7,_8,_9,_10)

default is ONE.

you sure i should change it to 4 my cpu has 6 cores though?

[airdeano]

4 is enough

Really? Now I am getting all giddy with the possible improvement. What does the RAM use by default, the whole capacity?

sorry to bother you but will 6 make it faster?

depends on what the UEFI has designated the speed to be.. default DDR3 is 1333/1600, DDR4 is 2133. that'd be an unneeded dialog box to tweek.

no

thanks! i put it to 4 and how about the memory option in the advanced settings there to i have corsair ddr4 dominator platnium

nevermind just read the post about the ram thanks so much!

[airdeano]

leave that memory dialog alone for now..

no

last question is there anything else i could do to get more performance

[airdeano]

have the drivers been installed for the chipset, intel engine management and USB3.0?

the windows unified drivers are meh.. using the aligned WHQL drivers can promote better performance.

i went to asus.com and found my mobo and upgraded bios chipset and all that

i never heard about intel engine management

also which engine managemnt for windows ten there are 3    5m, 1.5m and one more 

i installed the 1.5 one i think which is the consumer one any other programs i need?

[airdeano]

all of what.. it is important we know what exactly was installed..

use   MEI_V11.0.0.1155_20150709_WHQL_1.5M for the engine management driver.

what is the firmware of the SSD (use the samsung magician for this task)

for the ssd i have the magician its all up to date im using rapid more and getting really good speeds with it and i installed the mei 1.5 but is it an application or what i cant see it anywhere

this is the one i just installed https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26049/Intel-Management-Engine-Intel-ME-11-Driver-1-5M-for-Windows-10-for-Intel-NUC

[airdeano]

MEI is a driver with no application, runs on bootup/background.

 

how much RAM? how much virtual disk space used?
