You can tweak almost every component of your PC to make its performance
optimal. You only have to look for computer tips and tricks. You can tweak its
hardware to make it work faster and more efficient than it usually does and its
software to make all applications that are installed on your computer run
perfectly with as efficient resources as possible. This article features some
tips and tricks that guide you to weak or to tune up your PC's hardware and
software.
Tweaking Your Computer's Hardware
There are a number of hardware components of your PC that you can tune up in
order to improve its performance. Because the most essential part of your
computer is its processor, you can start by tweaking it. Overclock is the most
familiar term that PC users usually use to refer to CPU tune-up process. There
are two easy ways to tweak your computer's CPU. If your computer is
manufactured within the last four years, you can easily overclock your PC's CPU
by modifying its BIOS or UEFI BIOS setup. When you access your computer's BIOS,
you should try to locate CPU Operating Speed, FSB Clock and PCI Clock settings
and alter their values. If you cannot find those settings in your PC's BIOS,
then your computer is an old one. For old PC, overclocking can be done by
changing the jumper settings of your computer's motherboard. Because different
CPUs have different performance peak, there is no universal rule of how to
overclock your CPU. You can experiment with different settings until you figure
out the performance peak of your PC. If you have assigned a particular value to
your CPU clock speed setting and the PC crashes or doesn't boot properly when
you turn it on, then your computer has gone beyond its performance peak. You
should thus lower that value a little bit in order to keep your computer
running properly. If you cannot access the BIOS to reset its settings, you
should locate the motherboard's 3-pin jumper labeled "reset bios" or
"clear CMOS," remove the jumper that connects the first and the
second pins, and attach it to connect the second and the third pins. Some new
computers allow you to tune up the performance of their CPU and Video card by
using built-in application that you can access after you start your computer.
Tweaking Your Computer's Software
Tweaking your computer's software is much simpler and easier than tweaking its
hardware. You can use third-party applications to tweak your computer's system
environment, alter its operating system by using the already-installed
standalone programs, or alter the setting of all applications that are
installed on it.
There is a large selection of third-party programs that you can use to do
some tweaking jobs on your PC. You can, for example, use Teracopy to copy files
and folders much more quickly or use BatteryCare to extend your laptop's
battery life. Just surf the internet and you can mostly find hundreds of
programs that you can use to tweak your computer.
You can also tweak your computer's operating system by altering its settings
using any built-in applications that are installed on your computer when you
install its operating system. If you are using Windows operating system, for
example, you can prevent it from making record of recent files that you open by
accessing its taskbar and start menu properties setting or prevent it from
running autoplay function by altering its group policy setting (GPEDIT.MSC) if
you are using Windows XP or by changing its autoplay setting at Control Panel
if you are using the later versions of Windows.
A number of programs that you have installed on your computer also have
standalone tweaking functions. If you are interested in knowing the hidden
features of all programs that you install on your computer, you can try to
search for its "hidden features" or "Easter eggs" by using
internet.
