Optimization and FPS

It depends on your hardware, the game, and the current state of your system. Real ranges for our packages: Classic 11 averages around +20-25%, CustomX +25-40%, and GamePro with hardware overclocking around +55%. On a cluttered system the gain is bigger; on one that is already clean and finely tuned it is smaller, and we will tell you which before we start. But the number is not the main thing: what matters more is that the frames stay smooth, with no stutters or 1% low dips.

Powerful hardware does not guarantee a smooth picture. The usual culprits are background programs, bad drivers, overheating and throttling, unnecessary Windows effects, and the wrong power plan. Sometimes the graphics card is held back not by its own power but by the processor or the memory. We find the bottleneck and remove exactly that, instead of treating symptoms at random.

Average FPS shows the big picture but does not convey the feel of smoothness. 1% low is the lowest frames, those rare dips that make the game jerk in a fight or during a sharp turn. That is what your eye reads as lag or no lag. You can have a high average FPS and still suffer from stutters. We raise not only the average but also pull up the lower bound.

Yes, and often the effect is most noticeable on weak hardware. When every percent of the processor counts, every background process we remove adds something. We free up resources, switch off the unnecessary, and squeeze the most out of what you have. We will not turn an office machine into a miracle, but playability really does improve, and before we start we will tell you honestly what to expect on your build.

The base setup does not reset on its own. On Classic 11 the settings are reversible, but over time Windows again gathers software and startup items, so part of the effect can slowly wear off. On CustomX the unnecessary components are physically removed, they have nowhere to come back from, and the system stays that way until the next reinstall. We explain what you should not touch.

Optimization is order in the system: remove the clutter, set up Windows, drivers, and games properly. Overclocking is making the hardware run above stock frequencies to squeeze out more performance. Optimization is safe and almost everyone needs it; overclocking is a finer matter for those who want more. The GamePro package includes both.

Services and packages

Classic 11 is a clean Windows 11 PRO with telemetry disabled and basic optimization, compatible with FACEIT and Game Pass, with a gain of about 20-25%. CustomX is a custom build where 10,000+ unnecessary files are physically removed, with a gain of about 25-40% and the smoothest possible 1% low, but FACEIT and Game Pass will not run on it. GamePro is Classic 11 or CustomX of your choice plus CPU, GPU, and RAM overclocking with stress tests, averaging around +55%. SupremeBuild is a turnkey PC build: selection, purchasing, assembly, GamePro, and delivery. Current prices for each are on the services page.

If you want a clean system, stable FPS, and compatibility with everything including FACEIT, go with Classic 11. If you play Steam titles like CS2 or Dota and want maximum smoothness, look at CustomX. If you want to squeeze everything out of your hardware, take GamePro with overclocking. And if you are building a new PC from scratch, that is SupremeBuild. Send us your build and your list of games and we will advise without pushing anything on you.

It depends on the level. Classic 11: a clean install of Windows 11 PRO, telemetry and unnecessary components disabled, original drivers, BIOS and XMP/EXPO setup. CustomX adds physical removal of 10,000+ files and deep network tuning for minimum ping. GamePro adds CPU, GPU, and RAM overclocking with stress tests on top of that. We will send the exact contents of your chosen package before we start.

Yes. You can take just a clean reinstall, just a CPU, GPU, or memory overclock, or just BIOS setup; we have separate services for that. Packages are simply better value when you have several tasks. Tell us what is bothering you and we will suggest a focused solution, with no paying extra for things you do not need.

Yes. You can start with Classic 11 or CustomX and add overclocking later to reach GamePro. You pay the difference for the extra work, with no need to redo what is already done. Handy if you want to spread the budget over time. Just message us and we will continue from where we left off.

03

Safety

No. We work only with Windows settings, drivers, and game parameters; we do not touch game code or anti-cheat. Classic 11 is standard Windows 11 PRO with no kernel modifications, and every anti-cheat passes it: FACEIT, Vanguard, VAC, Easy Anti-Cheat. VAC bans for interfering with the game, and we do not do that. Your account is safe.

There is an important detail here. CustomX is a modified system, and FACEIT Anti-Cheat, Xbox Game Pass, and Vanguard (Valorant) will not run on it. That is not a ban; the protection simply does not start. But CS2 (VAC), Dota, Steam, Epic, and Battle.net work without issues. If you play on FACEIT or in Valorant, take Classic 11 or GamePro based on Classic 11. We always ask where you play before we start.

We know what we touch, and we have tested it on 11,500+ systems. On Classic 11 every change is reversible; nothing is deleted, only disabled. If you are not happy with the result, everything is restored with a reinstall. The system stays usable and updatable, not gaming-only. Stability matters more to us than pretty benchmark numbers.

Sensible overclocking within reasonable limits is safe. We do not chase records for a screenshot; we look for a stable everyday profile. We keep voltages and temperatures within safe ranges and verify every profile with stress tests (Prime95, OCCT, MemTest, and others). If there is little headroom in cooling or power, we will not risk your hardware and we will tell you straight.

Before a clean install the system drive is formatted, so we move anything important off it in advance, and we do not touch files on other drives. We warn you about this before we start and help you decide what to save and where. Your own backup never hurts either. There should be no surprises with lost data.

04

How the work goes

Optimization, setup, and overclocking are done remotely; there is nothing to bring in. We connect to your computer over a secure connection while you are there and watching the screen. You only need to ship hardware if you order a build from scratch (SupremeBuild), and even that we send out to you by delivery.

The work itself is quick: Classic 11 is 45-90 minutes online, GamePro with overclocking is 2-3 hours. The full cycle from request to result is usually around 24 hours, up to 48 at peak load, because we take orders in turn. We give you a precise estimate in advance. If you need it urgently, we can speed things up for an extra fee.

Very little. Tell us your build (processor, graphics card, memory), your list of games, and what exactly is bothering you now. Set aside time when you can stay in touch and not use the PC during the work. If a clean install is planned, move your important files in advance. We handle the rest.

Yes, remote work needs access to your desktop. The connection runs over a secure channel and only for the duration of the session, while you are next to it and watching the screen. You can end the session at any moment. We do not poke around in your personal files and we do nothing without explaining it.

Of course, we encourage it. You see your own screen in real time and watch what we do. If something is unclear, ask as we go and we will explain in plain language. It is your PC, and following every action is completely normal.

Windows: clean or custom

Clean (Classic 11) is the official Windows 11 PRO, installed fresh, with telemetry and unnecessary components disabled and no kernel modifications. Custom (CustomX) is a build where the same components are physically cut out, 10,000+ files removed, and the network tuned for minimum ping. Clean is compatible with everything, including FACEIT and Game Pass. Custom gives higher FPS and a smoother 1% low, but FACEIT, Game Pass, and Vanguard do not work on it. We will help you choose for your games.

No. We install original drivers for the graphics card, chipset, network, and sound, then check that the internet, audio, and input devices work. If something is missing, we add it on the spot. Before finishing we make sure together that everything is in place.

For stable operation and updates the system needs to be activated. If you have your own license, we use it. If you do not have one, we will suggest a working option during the discussion. We always go over this point before we start.

Yes, there is always a way back. If CustomX does not suit you for any reason, we will install the regular clean Classic 11 system. No one locks you into one option forever. The main thing is to discuss it in advance so we can keep the data you need.

With a clean install the system drive is formatted, so we move everything off it in advance and put it back afterwards. Files on other drives are usually left untouched, but we still go over this before we start. If the data is critical, we will help move it to a safe place.

06

Overclocking

It depends on the hardware and its headroom. Overclocking the processor usually gives a few percent, more noticeable where the CPU is the bottleneck. A graphics card with a good overclock and undervolt adds frames while running cooler. Memory is often underrated, yet the right timings and frequency really raise smoothness and the 1% low. In the GamePro package we overclock all three, and the average gain comes out around +55%. We name exact numbers after testing your hardware.

The higher the frequencies, the more heat, so cooling headroom matters. On a weak cooler a serious overclock makes no sense; the chip will overheat and drop its frequencies. First we look at temperatures in the current state. Sometimes good case airflow and decent thermal paste are enough, sometimes a better cooler is worth considering. We do not push into the red without adequate cooling.

Done properly, no. We keep voltages and temperatures within safe ranges and verify every mode with stress tests for stability, so there are no crashes in games. We look not for a record but for a reliable everyday profile. If the hardware or power supply will not allow safe overclocking, we will say so honestly and not take the risk.

These are memory profiles that enable its rated frequency and timings. Without them memory often runs at a reduced base speed, even if you bought a fast kit. XMP is the profile for Intel platforms, EXPO is the AMD equivalent. Enabling the profile is already the first safe step toward smoothness; we do this and, if needed, fine-tune the timings by hand.

With laptops there is less room, but some things really work. Manufacturers usually limit processor frequency overclocking, memory overclocking is available on about 40% of models, while undervolting, cleaning the cooling system, and the right power limits often give more than an aggressive overclock. The gain on a laptop is usually 25-40%. Drop your model in Discord and we will tell you what is realistically achievable.

PC building

We start from your games, your monitor resolution, and your target FPS, not from fancy names. We pick a balanced combination so that no component is a bottleneck: there is no point pairing an RTX 4080 with an i3. We leave headroom in power and cooling so the system lasts and holds its boost. We buy only new parts from official sellers.

Yes, we work from your budget. Tell us the amount and the tasks, and we will show the optimal combination and explain where not to cut corners (usually the power supply and cooling). As a rough guide there is an entry-level tier, a mid-range tier, and a high-end tier. We will not push extras just to inflate the bill.

Of course. If some of your parts are still relevant, we will work them into the build and not make you buy everything again, and the cost of the work does not change. We will tell you what is worth keeping and what would become a bottleneck. We just cannot vouch for compatibility if the choice was made without us.

Yes, upgrades are a common task. We look at your current build and find what exactly is slowing you down in your games. Sometimes adding memory or swapping the graphics card is enough, rather than building everything from scratch. We will tell you what gives a real gain and what would be a waste of money.

With SupremeBuild we build it physically: selection, purchasing with no markup on hardware, assembly with cable management, Windows install and optimization, overclocking, 4+ hours of stress tests, and delivery. The turnaround is usually 7-14 days. If you only need a parts list with reasoning, we will do that too.

08

Payment and general

It all starts with a request on the site or a message to us in Discord. Describe your PC, your games, and your task; we suggest a solution and agree on the scope of work, the session time, and payment. You only transfer money after you have approved the order. From your second order we give you a personal promo code for minus 10%.

Classic 11, CustomX, and GamePro each have their own price, and SupremeBuild is priced for the work (the hardware is paid separately, with no markup). Separate services, such as overclocking or BIOS setup, cost less. Current prices are always on the services page.

The format is remote, so we work almost anywhere there is a stable internet connection, with gamers around the world. We agree on the time zone in advance to find a convenient session time. For physical builds we can arrange shipping depending on your location.

Yes, we do not disappear once it is done. If questions come up or something behaves oddly, message us and we will sort it out. We will tell you how to keep the system in shape. For PC builds we help if anything goes wrong and re-tune the overclock for free if it ever slips.

We have been optimizing gaming PCs since 2019, and more than 11,500 orders in that time. Over these years we have been through all kinds of configurations, games, and platforms, we have seen the typical problems, and we know what really works and what is a myth. That experience is what lets us promise a result rather than guess.

We have a dedicated reviews page with more than a thousand real client responses from our Discord. Scroll through it or drop straight into the Discord reviews channel and read them live; we hide nothing. Real results speak louder than any promises.
