How do I download more ram and cpu cores? I have 10tbps connection please help!

[@JakeBellFilms]

you can't

[@FreeSpirit90]

JakeBell Can you explain to me in detail why I can't?

[@JakeBellFilms]

Well basically, Ram Is a Physical Object Inside Of Your PC/Laptop, And CPU cores are the amount of cores in Your Processor (CPU) So, Unless You Want To Upgrade Your PC By, Actually Buying New Parts (E.g Ram Or a New Cpu) Thats Kind of Impossible, And If With Multiple Core Processors You Can Idle Cores, With My PC I Have a AMD FX-4350 Quad Core Processor @ 4.2Ghz I Could Probably Idle Some Of My Cores When I'm Say Editing a Video, But I Have No Idea How to Do That, And I Wouldn't Recommend Trying To Download "More Ram" Because Its Either A Scam, Or Some Type Of Virus

Thanks for the support man, loving it. but I should be the one raging (also be a little careful on the language next time). Honestly people like the thumbs down guy (referred to as TDG from now on) are not worth the time. If all TDG has in life is nothing better to do than get on a sub feed and insta-thumbs down videos then I feel sorry for their life as it must really suck. Hopefully TDG can stop being a no-man and one day be a yes-man, but until that day he will remain a Padawan.

So... I've gone through from a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit and benchmarked Far Cry 3 without making the changes in this video. After doing the benchmarks (I did 10 runs and averaged fps) I made all the changes in your video, rebooted, and then started benchmarking Far Cry 3 again (10 runs). Average before: 42 frames per second Average after: 41 frames per second Where's the benefit of these changes? Is there a specific game that these changes will affect the performance of?

Go into your task manager and end all non-essential processes (any processes that you don't need). And also if a pc isn't strong enough there's just nothing you can do except upgrade.

Use a different browser.

Just a little hint, instead of hitting CTRL ALT DELETE to start the task manager, you can also get to it by right clicking on the task bar and select it from there.

Its included/updated when you update your graphics drivers. Go to nvidia's driver downloads page and download your latest graphics drivers by selecting your graphics card series and model. If you dont know your model of graphics card type "dxdiag" in the Start - Run field and then its under Display.

[@cHaMp630]

Run disk defrag once or twice a month along with disk cleanup, don't install crappy registry cleaners that do more harm than good over time, re-format windows once every year or two, and if you can buy/build a new pc... Most of these tweaks will offer minimal to no performance increase with some at the cost of overall system stability. If your computer is high usage from especially default things like explorer.exe then either A. you have a virus of some sort OR B. you have hardware problems from faulty mobo, to faulty cpu, overheating, etc OR C. more likely, you just have a REALLY shit/old system. And finally, system idle process at 90-99% doesn't mean your cpu is being used for no apparent reason, it just means that's the amount of cpu usage reserved.

[@djsmileyoflasvegas]

Ccleaner dot com is great.go to Ninite dot com for c

[@orochikasaki7426]

how can i know that ??

[@DarkLinkAD]

I wanted to critique this video a bit but after watching the entire video, I realize this is more of a beginners how to. If your still interested, I have some points below. When freshly logging onto your desktop, try to allow 7-10mins for Windows 7 to use virtual memory/page file appropriately and for all your unnecessary services to stop. There may be a solid 3-5mins of 0% Processor load during this time. Becoming comfortable with the entire "Services" management console can help you in the long run. Just as an example, I managed down to 190 threads vs your 450? thread count and 60MB of Ram (93 page file)(3638 Handles) vs your 1.68GB of ram. A properly small page file will stay, without swapping when gaming, meaning I would have all but 60mb of ram available while gaming This is with explorer.exe, audio, networking etc. Everything needed for online gaming running. This isn't my best, just the only thing I have a screen shot of (From last year) (explorer.exe obviously isnt needed) Also, changes in services should be done in services.msc and not msconfig, msconfig can be misleading as to whether or not your service have truly stopped.

[@FeelingShred]

What helped me immensely lately was: - Disabling Core Parking (processor) - Disabling Speedstep and Enhanced States on BIOS (processor) - Disable Windows Search and Superfetch services permanently - Disable Disk Writing Cache (no speed difference and prevents data loss) - Disable all unused devices on device manager - Disable all audio enhancements on advanced audio options - Enable "Vsync always on" at Video card options - Use Chromium browser with Java, Flash and cookies disabled by default (you will have to setup your frequently used sites on first visit, memory usage and processor usage is much lower since done that) My computer was crashing every 18 hours and now it goes for 7 days until I decide to reboot to reset memory use and even browsing the internet much faster

[@FeelingShred]

even my temps are lower now, and CPU usage almost never reaches 100%

[@LoudMime]

Can you post a procedure for this?

[@donn-a4053]

thanks for the videos man .. its really help , specially with my desktop 8.1 .. Thanks once again :)

[@hayzeproductions7093]

Disabling page file can be dangerous to your windows O/S . Its an error log memory dump in case of BSOD's and other instances. You will have a hard time cracking down the issue if you dont have error logs, Page file memory is basically swap memory, while having an SSD some people say Page file memory it is not needed. However, windows uses page file a little more than you think, Your ram and processor will always communicate back to your hard drive. SSD or not. Other than this, i say this is a very helpful video to others. Which i could recommend to others.

[@ThePhilipus]

How do we lower down CPU usage . What processes we need. And what processes can we end ?

[@derkevevin]

you can check your hidden icons in the bottom right, the little triangle there. see if some of the programs you want to close are listed there and end them from there. also you can follow Tech YES City´s tips here to disable these programs from starting in first place. But you should only disable stuff when you are sure that you dont need it.

[@gaming4life834]

Quick tip: First run your game then press windows button or Ctrl + Alt + Delete to access task manager and go to process tab then end process explorer.exe . Now press Alt + TAB to access the running game. I tried and it worked for me . Then after playing game, again go to task manager, click on new task a dialog box will open type explorer.exe and press enter.

[@derkevevin]
