One of my favorite hobbies is building and optimizing computers. I started this hobby around when I was 11 years old because I wanted to get better frames per second in games such as Fortnite and Minecraft. Optimizing helps to increase the computer's efficiency when running programs. So I started to research best practices, at first I was doing things the incorrect way. When I got older, I started to play CounterStrike and Rust. These games are more power hungry, so I needed to learn and have a better understanding about the underlying ways Windows and the bios works. Optimizing involves many components, such as overclocking in the bios and debloating windows with registry changes. Debloating windows leads to better idle usage of resources, so your computer can have more power to run programs that you actually want running. Overclocking involves getting into the bios to change motherboard, CPU and ram parameters to allow the components to run faster and more efficient. One of the differences in GPU overclocking is that it happens in the OS, such as Windows instead of the Bios. Optimizing only leads to minor performance enhancements, so when I was in my last year of high-school, my dad bought me the components to build a new computer. The components include an MSI Mother board, AMD 9800x3d (one of the best gaming CPUs), 32 GB of 6000 MT/s Ram, RTX 5070 And a 1000 watt Seasonic power supply. Building this computer was one of the most fun projects I have completed
