Hello so i was looking at how to make games better. I came across this one thing called  regedit. BAsically you make some registry edits to your regedit to make your computer "faster", or so they say. I came across this one seller called "ImChicken" https://sellfy.com/ImChicken and he says he's selling this all in one that can basically reduce your knockback and ping in games. Well not really reduce ping but make your computer faster at processing things. A feww questions I have are

 

1) Is this worth it

2) IS sellfy trusted?

3) can I chargeback/refund?

4) what does this thing do

CPU - i7-4790k

GPU - MSI 980 Ti 

Mobo - MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Memory - 32 GB DDR3

Storage - 3.4 TB

1: NO

2: Never heard of it, you don't want to give any registry acces to people you don't know. So: NO.

3: Most likely NO.

4: If it does anything at all, it will change your registry so it will remove some processes/services which you most likely will never use. And this is the best case scenario. (I was too chicken to even click on that link you provided to us)

 

If you want a performance boost from editing your registry, do it manually. And don't just copy/paste stuff from random websites, but read the article and understand what is supposed to do. (and try to think about the possible solution, and if it might be a benefit or hinderence to you)

 

Come to think of it, Linus tryed to build something like windows 9.5 or something. Look it up, they talk a bit about registry edits.

You're falling for a scam.

Editing your registry does literally nothing to performance.

Registry cleaning only worked appreciably in Win 98 or earlier. 

 

Today too much risk for little or no gain.

The only registry edit I know that could give you a performance gain is unparkcpu. But even that is negligible.
