Hi!

Just wanted to see if I could get some help here (tried to search and lurk the forums but alas didn't get what I was searching for).
Currently I have only 854 marks on XTU with all settings as default aside from the -0.140V to the Core Voltage Offset. (all other apps were closed, nothing else running in background)



Here's the thing, when I had a Samsung SSD added months ago, I had it done at local dealer (non-Acer) and as such the BIOS was switched to what appears to be a generic one.
Could this be the reason why my machine feels subpar as compared to when I got it prior? (minus all the 10 year boot-up times due to HDD)
I'm not tech savvy, but would be willing to try out some stuff if it means improving performance.


Hoping to hear from you guys soon!

    How optimized is your windows? Have you removed all unwanted crapware from Windows store, windows search disabling, Sysmain disabling and such?

    See my windows store apps on my laptop (rest all are removed permanently).

    I removed/disabled the windows store permanently (only enable it when i need something from it which its a rare case) and all the xbox services also disabled windows update/cortana and even removed the windows photos app and installed the good old win7 photo gallery :)

    Hi sri369 and xapim,

    Thanks for your suggestions!
    Unfortunately I've disabled Windows crapware (cortana / store / xbox-gaming stuff) prior to doing the benchmarking.

    I wouldnt count xtu to benchmark get a proper benchmarking software if you want to do it properly and personally i wouldnt use xtu for anything TS its much better than xtu whne it comes to undervolt :) also the benchmarks do not count much because the cpu doesnt behave the same way on gaming and other works
