Welcome to Tiktok, the premier source for AI slop and brain rot and for half of US Americans the news, but can we trust any of it?
Welcome to tech court, Tiktok, where I'll be trying your tech hacks and determining whether you're free to go or free to go straight to jail
The whole platform's on trial
First up is Mr. Yeester Generated from its own CPU, which honestly is working way better than I expected
Despite nothing plugged into the CPU fan pins or the chassis fan pins, not only is this giant fan still spinning
It's keeping the computer cool under 100% load at around 66 degrees Celsius
Well, depends what CPU you're running. How in the world is this possible?
How is it possible? To see if he's a fraud, I bought the exact same model as he has. It's a tech
It is, but like TEC, a thermal electric cooling element
We've got a hot side. That's gonna come from our CPU. We've got a cold side
That's gonna come from this heat sink here, which will be cooled by the fan that is powered by the
Voltage that is generated by the hot and the cold side on either side of this Peltier module
Yeah, so typically you put these on top of like wood burning stoves or furnaces to help circulate the heat around the room
Not to like actively cool anything. What were you thinking putting it on a Threadripper, sir?
I think it's actually gonna give it a better chance because we have way more surface area
That's got to be like a 35 watt CPU. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know man
All right, that's enough. I'm gonna give her the old
Splooshy-splooshy You can give her what? How much heat does it need to start spinning? Like she's getting warm brother
It's peaked at 94 and I think it oh
Oh Now we're cooking with electricity
This right here is a tiny fraction of the amount of surface area that a CPU like this would need in order to be cooled
Well, sorry, we're currently pulling a hundred and six watts. It literally smells hot
We have not thermal throttled yet. We haven't hit proc hot. We're damn close. This is so
Stupid bear in mind that this is on a 1070 if we had a better GPU
We would be pushing our CPU harder to keep up with it
Do you want to try a full CPU load? No
You sure yeah, I'm really sure this The fact that this worked at all I say we call it a win. What's the verdict?
Not guilty of spreading tech misinformation. I'm gonna do it. I'm doing it. What are you doing it?
Why are you doing that? I want to see that. I want to see. Are you sure you haven't throttled yet?
Yeah, the package power is 80 watts. So it's definitely thermal throttling. It's just not being indicated by that
Ow, why would you touch it cuz I wanted to know how hot it was? Oh
It says right here how hot it is It's on the screen. Let's turn it off before it dies
No, don't turn it off because this is gonna be our CPU cooler for the rest of the time
Why would this be our CPU cooler for the rest of the time?
Because that's all I prepared for the video. No, you prepared one other thing. You prepared this segue to our sponsor
All right be below ha What's I say wrong it sounds like you were somebody something I don't know
Did you know that if you press the Windows key plus R then type this command and hit enter
You'll open the hidden NVIDIA folder then just enter both folders and delete everything inside
These are just cache files your graphics card doesn't need this can fix random stutters
Reduce lag and even boost your FPS. You are so full of
That is malicious one there's like multiple levels where it's wrong. No, no, we can't we can't pass judgment
First we have to enter the matrix with Windows R Oh hotkeys is a scary amount of these that start with open up Windows R and run what I tell you to run oh
The hidden video folder Then just enter both folders and delete everything inside so press control a
To be clear. It's not gonna do anything. Well, you mean it's gonna give it a stutter's and reduce lag
No, it isn't your FPS. No, it isn't I'm entering all three folders
For bonus points at that man. Well
There's the game running like it did before
beautiful truly guilty
Rule of thumb if something says Windows plus R
And then type anything in don't do it until you know what it does and if they say delete a bunch of stuff
Also, don't just listen. Don't just take their word One thing you'll notice across a lot of these tiktok hacks is that they tell you to do stuff and they give you zero explanation
Which I think is a big problem People know you can do this go to your desktop and create a new folder when
Remaining this folder enter the following code which all plays in the captions and a pinned comment
It needs to be exactly this code that you paste as your folder name then press enter
You will notice that doing this changes the folder icon Okay, okay, now it's control panel icon when you open it you will see this
Simply all your computer settings in one place. This is known in tech as God mode
I
Sorry is the sales pitch that the control panel is God mode for Windows 55,000 likes
Someone type it for me, please Here's a brilliant idea. I bet you could type this a lot faster
Wow There that was less work to type them whatever bull it he did to make that folder
Okay, let's let's play around with it. Maybe we've judged it too hastily Adam. I've got it set up now
Ah, yes play CDs or other media automatically
Do you think it has quick share settings Windows to go start up options?
Do you remember Windows to go? I I remember the settings. I don't even remember what it is
Yeah, see it just brings up the modern control panel
So he does promise that it all of your settings are in here is not the case
Many settings are in here. No, I don't I mean, I don't even think display settings are in here
Which I would consider to be fairly basic like anything new like HDR is not gonna be in here
manage storage spaces Okay, let me create a pool. Yeah, don't mess with that. It's honestly how I kind of wish
Control panel would be organized though. Yes and no, I actually am at peace with the modern one these days
It's not bad. I don't the settings menu versus the control panel
I'm talking specific control panel, but I find the second is its own problems
I find the settings menu does have issues particularly around things like audio
I also hate how deep you have to go to get to things like refresh rate
But it's still better than it used to be to me refresh rate is basic display
Please let me Windows. Let me open two settings
Windows you're called Windows tabbed
Tabbed maybe ooh So what's the verdict?
Guilty What's the sentence three rounds of Dota with a feeder?
Okay, and they're long rounds your team does not know how to end Oh my god anything that starts with someone in a hoodie at a keyboard is just
Start by going to your keyboard, then click the Windows button plus are now
Start by going to your keyboard CPL click on okay now go to your Wi-Fi device
Then click on wireless properties go to the security page. Hold on then click on show
There's so many problems already. Is that really the fastest way to open the network control panel?
No, also buddy, you couldn't even be arsed to like
Edit having the window within your narrow screen recording strip
You got to like wait a second and move it over
Also, here's the crazy thing. He's using Windows 11. Do you want to see how you see your Wi-Fi password in Windows 11?
You click on the Wi-Fi You go to the network. Oh, we have to be signed in
Now give me a while what a tech tip give me a second if you're not signed in you can't get the Wi-Fi password
Let's clarify that You can we did a whole video on war driving where we made a Wi-Fi password cracking then you guys can check that out
We'll link it down below That would actually be a tech tip that feels illegal to know but in Windows 11 if you're connected to your network
You just go to the Wi-Fi quick settings. You click the I and then you say Wi-Fi network password
And you click show and then you can like just scan it with your device, which is way better than whatever we're about to see
You don't need to type in The run window
Unhack your hacked PC
Click on okay This will take you to a page where you will find the list of users that have full access to your PC
Just remove any of them that you don't know and the person will no longer have access to your computer
So
My computer's hacked, but I totally have full access to an administrator account that I can use to remove the
extra user accounts that the hacker made for
Reasons every single time I hack a computer. I always make a new underprivileged user account guilty
70 how powerful is your PC? Let's check it out. Go open PowerShell and type this command
If I didn't like people opening up the run window and typing in random things
I definitely don't like them doing that with PowerShell and hit enter it will display your system performance score
Score more than eight is for high-end games. What are you talking about?
Video editing and have is this the old Windows Vista system assessment this thing still exists
Apparently and apparently they upgraded it to go to 9.9 for Windows 8. I had no idea
Also, it was useless when it came out because they had no way of knowing how to balance that
single score for every possible use case and I gotta imagine it is a
Way more useless today than it was back then
Guilty I sentenced him to no gooey for one year. No gooey. He has to do everything in the PowerShell
Oh PC's performance press Windows and R and type MS config go to boot then click on advanced options
Change the number of processors to the highest one press control shift and escape go to the details tab and find your game
Right click on it and change the set priority to high press Windows and search startup apps
Then turn off any app you do not need a right when you turn on the PC couple things here
First of all your computer has all of its cores regardless of what you're doing in there number two is I actually do not
recommend playing around with process priority unless there is a specific
Issue that you're trying to troubleshoot finally. What was the last thing you did?
It's removed startup apps. I mean yeah, that's good. Yeah, it's not gonna boost your FPS
No, but it might reduce your startup time. Yeah, and it could reduce your RAM usage which
Could if you're like right on the edge help with performance
I did a little bit of investigating into the boot processors You really actually should not touch that at all if you change your hardware configuration
It will screw a lot of things up because it's going to try and load up a 12-core configuration
And if you switch to an 8-core CPU, right you're gonna just get a blue screen
You're gonna get boot looping it can also mess up your BIOS that even ignores that not all processors
use all of the same types of cores for instance Intel processors have
P and e-cores, which it uses thread director to dynamically work with Windows to assign the correct tasks to the correct cores
So I don't know that this would that up, but it definitely won't help. Yeah, just don't mess with it
Guilty one day blinding stew soup that makes you blind for one day put the headphones on
I climb in the corner then restart. Whoa, once you're in the blue screen click on troubleshoot advance options come in from now
Type this command yo type no pattern go to file and open bro
This PC then the drive where the window show click when the system 32 then change the all files look for you
Till man right click copy the name bro. We name it to your till man to the look for CMD next
We name it to your till man exit click continue reset back to the line and click the small man
CMD opens tight Nick you can look for the user that you're using
Press enter it's your game to admit in the bar once you're in go to file this PC
Then the boot drive window system 32 then look for you come on copy and paste it in the system 32
Then rename it CMD now
Yes, I got my PC back man, bro. You have so many steps
Raptac PCs, you know what? I love the style have to confess
I haven't played around with user account recovery in quite a while
That might work. It's almost certainly not the least convoluted way to do it
But I had more fun than I ever have before learning about PCs
innocent one day grind and stew
Oh
Hold on actually I Changed my mind guilty of too much charisma. Oh
One day grinding stew. Oh my god
Stop touching my stuff with that
Okay All right J's tech. Oh
Oh It's not literally correct, but it is correctly illustrative
Sort of you cannot experience a higher refresh rate on
a lower refresh rate display so effectively what's been done here is
Multiplying the number of Cursors that I'm seeing as though I had a high refresh rate monitor and I was dragging my cursor
and then I was Seeing the persistence of that across the trail with each refresh of the display
So that's like kind of what we're looking at here, but that's something that you that you kind of feel and experience
It's not something that you can See like this. This is it's just motion blur. Yes. I see what they were trying to
Illustrate, it's just that you're not watching this tick-tock on a four-ears monitor and you're not watching it for years
Yes, I didn't realize how many of these are from RTC tutorials. These guys were just
hugely popular Take your Windows 11 run at its maximum power on your search bar type view advanced system settings
Then click settings choose adjust for best performance and click apply then okay
Just you know by doing this it will remove unnecessary items from your PC and achieving optimal performance
That's fine. It does not make Windows 11 run at maximum power. No, but what it does is it makes your PC feel a little bit more responsive
So while I wish that they were honest about what you were actually doing. I
Don't mind that tech tip. It's just
Yeah, nothing to do with what they say it is Miss trial double jeopardy
This is not an optimization Doing this is not an optimization either
This one doesn't help performance alone and this it just adds more overhead
Most PC tweaks don't change performance
They just give you a placebo effect The real optimizations happens at the driver level
By default
Where are we going services? They stay running even while you're gaming
Removing what you don't need reduces overhead and stabilizes frame pacing. Okay, maybe a little bit
It depends on what you have enabled like if you have for instance
NVIDIA's feature where you can be continuously
Screencapping and then you can like rewind the replay a little bit and capture. Yeah, is it called replay?
I hope so like if you have that running there can be situations where you're in a very graphically intensive scene and
That little bit of extra overhead for running replay could cost you a little bit of performance
But from my understanding that's something you have to enable So if you don't know what that stuff is it shouldn't be on
Wait am I downloading this from him Yeah, go get it at tech power up do not
Download it from random anywhere else tech power up. I trust I appreciate at the start
He's like all of these things that we have seen in a few tiktoks are not actually things that optimize your PC
Yeah, this is something that can have an impact and the NV clean install utility can be useful. Yes
Don't like the come to my discord and download the file for me
verdict hung jury and stop putting it near my
My tool chest over there Microsoft has a setting called fast startup which is enabled by default. It's essentially just a sleep mode
Disguised as your PC shutting down and this means that your PC is never fully shutting down
Even when you tell your PC to shut down the feature speeds up boot times after a shutdown by saving the Windows kernel and drivers to a
Hibernation file rather than like fully closing everything. There's a really solid tech tip on it just loads the saved state and
Skips the usual hardware initialization and reloading this makes your boot time faster
But it can end in potential file system corruption It can cause issues with you accessing your BIOS and it doesn't really benefit you if you're booting from an SSD
Since those are fast anyway. Here's how to disable fast startup. This is pretty solid. Yes fast startup can cause issues
No, it doesn't usually cause issues And if you really want to make sure that you don't have any issues you can just do a reboot
Fun fact shut down will engage fast startup a restart will not
Not guilty and excellent hair
I Water-cooled PC and he hasn't changed the liquid in three years. Yeah, so as an influencer
I understand the need to whoa react to stuff like I can't believe that a
Computer that's still working after three years
Uses this PC every single day like nothing's wrong dad. Do you have anything to say?
Yes, I neglected my PC my beautiful build at this point
I don't know if I should be disappointed or impressed that this thing is still running
You know what the wheels on a that big of a case that heavy-putting get-on casters actually genius. Oh, yeah, that's a thing
That's great. This I've never seen us do using the data vac to empty a loop. Yeah, that's pretty smart. Do you want to try it?
Yeah, sure hit me
It's getting a little aggressive
Wow Gotta admit all these years it never occurred to me to do anything other than just
blow on it Wicked smart and not full of bacteria. That's a good tech tip verdict
Not guilty a new computer for your dad. Yeah, also your dad's computer is fine
Matt's computer services says avoid used gaming PC scams
As the computer seems to be completely disconnected from the monitor
And the only thing to fix this is to manually shut the system off before turning it back on where the PC boots up like nothing ever
Happened so what's going on here? Well, we can easily find out by clicking the Windows icon on our keyboard and typing in reliability
History and selecting okay. Yeah, reliability history is a really really great tool for tracking down
Especially intermittent errors with your system. It doesn't log everything. No, but it logs a lot
This is a really great video. Yeah, also that old-school cool mod mat extreme
Nice all of his content is that I've seen is really really well done really informative outstanding
Shout out Matt's computer services guilty of being knowledgeable and awesome your sentence to the free
We should send him a screwdriver. Sure. Yeah, we can send him a screwdriver. Why not?
We're gonna send you a screwdriver. Yeah, let's go. I do you think we should maybe
Make it more ticked up content like we need to help clean it up. What do you think? It's in the right hands. It seems like
There's good stuff. Yeah, there's good stuff. Frodo's doing a great job
Also buddy with the tech repair shop love him. Yeah
Now you see you seem really defeated. Are you gonna be okay? No, they're there
What's on there my feet I have not been I thought you were just pointing to that segue to our sponsor
Thanks for watching this video. I've enjoyed this tiktok hacks. Why don't you watch the previous tiktok hacks?
It's also full of dumb stuff
I have nothing to add
