    Hey, big tip for you - your speakers misplaced. They need to be even with or in front of your side monitors so you don't block their dispersion and eliminate nasty reflections. 😊

      Could also mention that having them triangulated really helps too. They should be the same distance apart as they are from where you sit and listen to your music, games, etc...at, and should be off the wall several inches too. Another thing that also really helps but is often ignored outside of music recording is building some bass traps and putting them in the corners of the room you game in. You can really tighten up the acoustic signature of your gaming room very quickly and cheaply this way.

      I know a guy who lives together with a girl who has 2 kids.
      And he has no job as far as i know, because he plays video games every day pretty much all day.
      And i hear him sometimes in party chat yelling at his kids with his headset on.
      If that was my dad, i would not be able to take him serious at all even as a young kid.
      I'm not a kid btw, but just imagining i would be in that situation.

    Great tips, especially for when first setting up your pc. However I suggest using a different game launcher. Razer cortex consolidates all the games to the one app but has some extra features including game boosting, which pauses/stop certain processes while gaming.

    One thing I did as far as cooling is placing risers under my tower. I went to a local hardware store and got two wooden blocks the same width as my PC's case. In my situation: I chose a one inch thickness and the length from back to front is two inches. I the paint the black to match the case. While this may not seem like it would have made a difference: my overall system temperature dropped by 5c and my graphics card started running 7 to 9C cooler. I have 3 fans on the bottom of my case set as intake. This also decreased the suction effect generated by the bottom fans (let's just say a piece of plastic almost got gobbled up by the fans). As my PC sits on my desk: I wanted to minimize the amount of dust that could potentially end the system. Another small trick I use if my PC is going to be crunching on something like a game or encoding a video is to place a small desk fan where it can blow into the front intake and (in my case) the bottom intake. This, I found helps to break the heat loop that can sometimes happen when the air in the room isn't moved much. Doing this helps the exhaust fans remove any heat that has built up around the case: especially the rear and top. Yes, heat rises; but, a fan moving fan around the case gives it more of a shove to get out of the way. It also keeps my room a bit cooler as the heat collects more at the ceiling that on my desk.

    I think you could mention the re-sizable bar in the bios in your next video. It allows your gpu to have a better performance and it is not activated by default. However it only availble to enable on more recent gpus like the 30 series and up. There is a similar function for the amd gpus but i dont know the name.

    • @Zaelrae

    there is a way to center the apps in taskbar without using any app in windows 10 (idk if it works in win 11 too) basicly right click the taskbar and hit "taskbar" then click "links", you will then see some 4 lines: 2 in the right and 2 in the left. you just then need to slide the one in the right all the way to the left and then you will slide the other one to make the apps centered or put them where ever you want

    U can also add graphic settings too by going to that setting u can select a game and put it on high performance and also change the gpu which u want to use and also you should add high priority setting by going to device manager and selecting ur game but u will have to do that every time u boot up a game but u can also get a software for ur games to be always in high priority
