So for context lang, this guide is for when you've built your PC and every component works na and you can safely boot to Windows already. Although this video is generally for brand new PCs, you can still use some of the tips here for your existing or even laptops. Tip number one, create a comprehensive list of all the parts inside your PC. I know you're itching to game na and the last thing na you want to do is to create a spreadsheet of your computer parts like some kind of accountant, but doing so may save you a lot of trouble down the line. List all the parts and the names ng parts, yung brand, yung exact na model niya, yung mga notable na specs like let's say may compatibilities, and also important din na ilagay mo yung date of purchase and also san mo siya na purchase so that you can check yung validity ng warrantismo. Sa kali lang naman yung karan ng problema. Listing it this way would also mean na alam mo kung ano yung na sa loob ng PC mo, and mas madali na siyang atrobo shoot later. Or if hindi ka naman magtotrobo shoot, it would save a lot of guesswork for the tech guys na tatanong mo para dun sa problema ng PC mo. Speaking of tech guys, make sure to check out yung ating official forum down below. Update Your Motherboard Bios Medyo mahirap, but this is a very important step. Yung firmware or yung Motherboard Bios, yun yung logical code that resides inside your motherboard that's in charge of yung pag-route ng data to the CPU, yung pag-supply ng power sa mga lahat ng components, kung anong speed yung ia-allow niya na patakbuhin yung ram mo, and marami pang ibang sobrang importante. Now obviously, yung mga manufacturer hindi naman sila mga kagawa ng code na perfecto agad in one go. Kaya naging exist yung mga update, yung mga patches na kailangan talaga nating i-download. Keeping your BIOS updated will ensure nang solid yung performance mo lagi, and mas stable siya that would also fix yung mga compatibility issues na nag-a-arise kapag kami mga bagong components na lumalabas, and most importantly, yun ding security. We'll go back to that later. The process is a bit involved, although hindi naman to guide, parang general na rin na kung anong a-expect mo, kailangan mong pumunta dun sa motherboard manufacturer website, and you're going to look for a BIOS section, tapos may file ka dun na ida-download. Titignan mo yung date kung yun may pinaka-updated, and isostormo yung file na yun sa isang thumb drive. Then, isasaksa ko yung thumb drive dun sa motherboard USB port, and when you go to the BIOS using yun delete key as your PC boots up, may kita mo dun, depende talaga sa brand-day. It's either update firmware, or easy flash, or flash BIOS, or update BIOS, or and so forth. Pero yun tool na yun, kadalasan, automatic na siya, once na ma-detect niya na yung firmware file, and laging isang warning lang na may malaking-malaking chance of breaking, or rendering your motherboard useless, kapag na interrupt ng whatsoever yung firmware installation. So either make sure na meron kang UPS, that's the best way to do it, or make sure mo lang na hindi mo mongulan kumikidlat para walang power interruptions habang nag-update ka ng firmware. Tip number three, update your software. So tungkol na naman to sa pag-update, pero nandung ka na sa loob ng OS ngayun. So you're going to update lahat ng pwede ng i-update. Pina ka obvious dito would be the GPU drivers, yung chipset drivers, and yung mga drivers nung mga components mo like yung Wi-Fi card, kung meron ka, mga LAN card, and yung mga let's say meron kang RGB controllers, kailangan up to date din sila. So to yan na sa GPU, kapag nag-update ka ng drivers nun, kadalasan, meron talagang na performance improvement, especially kapag kami mga bagong triple A games na lumalabas, kadalasan may kasabay din yan na Nvidia or AMD na nakalagay game ready card. So napapatch yung mga performance issues nung games na yun, and overall mas nagiging solid yung performance nung GPU mo, that also goes the same for yung chipset drivers ng motherboard mo. This is very important kasi yun yung link na OS to the BIOS, so dapat updated din yung chipset drivers na yun. Itong mga software updates na ito, makikita mo to dun sa website nung manufacturer mo. So tulad nung kumawa, GPU na sa Nvidia siya or AMD, and yung chipset drivers tulad nung sa BIOS na nandun din siya sa manufacturer's website ng motherboard mo. Probably the most important thing, keep your OS up to date. Ngayon parang meme na yung Windows updates na bigla na lang may surprise restart habang gumagawa ka ng thesis mo, bigla siya magda download ng 3GB na update habang merong kang ranked na match, pero this is very important kasi yung mga Windows updates, although parang nakakainis talaga yung update process, they address yung mga stability issues, yung mga weird na mga components na bigla na lang magahang, or bigla na lang nakakakorap yung OS mo, for example, kadalasan yung mga Windows updates yung nakakasol ng problems na yun. Most importantly din, is yung mga vulnerabilities and mga exploits na kailangan mo patch. We live in a digital age where kadalasan yung mga finances natin, like yung mga bank accounts, yung mga, or kung merong kang cryptocurrencies nakatay yung dun sa PC mo, or sa digital identity mo. Hackers are working day and night para ma-access yun, para makuha yung information mo, and yes, we mean you yung nanonood ngayon. We're going to show you an image of yung current na attacks right at this moment dun sa hardware sugar website. Sobrang damit di ba, kasi no one is accepted, so keep your OS up-to-date, keep your antivirus software up-to-date, and lahat ng components po, dapat up-to-date siya. So nakakatamatman or nakakahasel kasi yung dami-dami website, nakailangan puntahan, pero in reality, updates are good and patches mas nakakimprove talaga sila ng performance down the line. Tip number four is benchmark. I know most of you isn't like me na parang sobrang obsest na dun sa performance scores ng aking rig, but hear me out. Benchmarking your PC fresh out of the box will give you a basic idea of the fresh and yung normal lang operation ng PC mo. So you'd know kung ano yung FPS na you can expect while playing a game, ano yung temperatures na irreach mo while 100% load halimbawa yung rig mo, and so on. Ngayon sa benchmarking, you can use a combination of tools like Timespy, libre lang yung sustain for CPU and GPU performance, Cinebench for multi-threaded CPU performance, and then HW monitor para man monitor mo yung temps. Ngayon ang gagayon mo, once na masetap mo yung brand new PC mo, you're going to benchmark using yung tools na yun, and then you're going to save and record yung mga figures and scores na makukuhuha mo. That way, you know, kung ano yung parang pinaka baseline na performance na you should expect from your PC, tapos with down the line mga siguro 3 months after, run those tests again and see if mayang drastic na change. Like for example, like plus 10 degrees big lash na hotter, so that means na mayang something wrong with your cooling, for example, or alimbawa sa Timespy, gumaba yung GPU score mo, so that would mean either nago overheat yung GPU mo or mayang siguro error sa drivers niya, so you can troubleshoot it. Yung ibang games din, mayang build in a benchmark tools like yung Assassin's Creed Odyssey, CSGO, and actually kahit yung valorant mayang din, so you can use also those and record yung average na FPS mo, so that siguro 3 months or 6 months later, you can test it again and see if mayang bang nangyari na sa PC mo. So tip number 5, medyo controversial, pero consider overclocking your PC, siguro kahit yung ram lang. Now this comes down to personal preference and optional din talaga siya, and we do know yung great risk that comes with overclocking in general. Pero we've also come a long way na yung mga components ngayon, they're more or less designed to withstand heat and more voltage, kasi they're expected to be overclocked and part na yun ng PC ownership talaga. Gone are the days of frying your CPU dahil mayang kong maling nalagay na voltage or biglang mag overheat yung GPU mo dahil andami mo o clock na nabigay sa kanya, kadalasan mayang sila mga fail-safe sa loob. Actually mayang nangyari yung mga tools na ginawa para mas mapadali yung pag overclock natin like Ryzen Master for Ryzen CPUs and sometimes kahit yung mismo yung component mayroon siya mga either one click na OC button because they're expected talaga to be overclocked. And ayun nga components are designed talaga to be overclocked and you should take advantage of that. Now I understand if you're still iffy about it, pero at the very least overclock your ram kasi yung advertised na speeds ng ram makuamol ang siya by overclocking or yung pag-enable ng XMP. It's very simple lang naman just go to the BIOS and then enable yung XMP from there. For sure, gina gawanan namin yung by default, but you can also do it yourself. Anong tulad ng ram yung mga ibang monitors din, nagsasabi na 165 hertz yung kanilang refresh rates. Again, that's only reachable through overclocking monitor refresh rate. So you have to do that. Anong this is very addicting and it's really fun if you really want to do it. Pero if you want to go down this spiral, you have to do your homework. Search everything about your components kung papano sila yung overclock safely and ano yung mga mitigation steps para hindi na masira yung components mo if you do decide to overclock it. Sina sa jatala ganan namin ngayon na hindi magbigay ng guide para mag-overclock kasi ayaw naman namin maging liable kami dun sa pwedeng masira sa components nyo. But if you really want to do this, you can check out yung maraming maraming ng guides about overclocking, your specific component. And also remember, you're actually paying for the privilege of overclocking your components. Kasama siya dun sa research and development in yung overall na design ng components na yun kasi they have overclocking in mind. So if you did all those steps, you're ready to basically game na or do whatever you want with the PC and you can enjoy it to the fullest kasi mamamaksimize mo na yung kanyong full potential.
