Performance Optimization
System tune-ups, OS reinstalls, and thermal management for faster, cooler, quieter computers — Windows and macOS.
Common Issues We Repair
Slow or Freezing
Background clutter, outdated software, poor resource usage.
High CPU / 100% Disk
Runaway processes, bad drivers, misconfigured services.
Overheating / Loud Fans
Poor airflow, dust buildup, aggressive boost behavior.
Long Startup / Login
Too many startup items, services, and scheduled tasks.
Short Battery Life (Laptop)
Power profiles, background apps, and thermal issues.
Stutters in Games / Apps
Unbalanced settings, thermal throttling, wrong drivers.
Core Optimization Services
Full system health & performance diagnostics
OS cleanup or reinstall (Windows / macOS)
Startup & background process optimization
Driver and update sanity check
Disk cleanup and storage health check (HDD/SSD)
Thermal & fan-curve tuning (where supported)
Basic malware/adware scan and removal
Final benchmarks or before/after measurements
Optional Enhancements
Gaming & creator performance profiles
Per-app performance tuning (OBS, Adobe, etc.)
Power plan optimization (desktop & laptop)
Storage layout planning (OS vs games vs data)
Light BIOS/UEFI tuning for stability & temps
Consultation on future upgrades (CPU/GPU/SSD/RAM)
We focus on safe, reversible changes and explain what we’re doing at every step. No “mystery optimizer” tools, no data wiped without your approval.

How It Works
Check-In & Baseline
We talk through your issues (slowdowns, noise, temps) and run a baseline performance and health check.
Plan & Quote
We outline what’s dragging your system down and suggest options — from light tune-up to deeper optimization.
Optimization Session
We apply changes, clean up the system, adjust settings, and tune thermals and power behavior.
Final Test & Summary
We re-test performance, temps, and noise, then walk you through what changed and how to keep it running well.
Typical turnaround: 1–3 business days (parts availability may vary).
Why Choose LynqPC Services
We tune systems based on actual component behavior — not one-size-fits-all software.
Balanced profiles that improve speed and thermals without sacrificing stability.
Before/after measurements let you clearly see the improvement.
You know what was changed, why it mattered, and how it affects everyday use.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Most tune-ups don’t touch your files. If an OS reinstall is recommended, we’ll discuss backup options first and get your approval before making any changes.
-
Yes — completely. We manually adjust system settings, services, startup items, drivers, thermals, and power behavior. No automated “optimizer” tools or risky registry hacks.
-
Yes. We optimize laptops and desktops for both platforms, including gaming rigs, workstations, school laptops, and older systems.
-
Yes. We diagnose cooling issues, clean the system, adjust fan curves, check thermal paste (if applicable), and tune settings to reduce noise and heat.
-
Most optimizations take same day or next business day, depending on the level of work and whether an OS reinstall or thermal service is included.
-
Usually, yes. We tune graphics settings, power profiles, background apps, and thermals — all of which can improve FPS and reduce stutters.
-
Absolutely. We configure performance profiles for editing, rendering, streaming, and other resource-heavy tasks.
-
Sometimes. New PCs can still ship with poor fan curves, unnecessary startup apps, and inefficient settings. A light optimization can improve temps and stability.
-
No. We only adjust software and reversible settings. Hardware changes are only done with your approval and never in a way that voids your warranty.
-
Yes. Every optimization includes simple tips for keeping your system fast and clean without installing extra tools.
-
Most clients only need it occasionally — when things slow down or after major updates. Heavy users (gamers/creators) sometimes schedule seasonal tune-ups.
