minus-squaresugar_in_your_tealinkfedilinkarrow-up11·3 days agoFree: clean fans and heatsink - others mentioned, and the reason is better cooling so it doesn’t throttle kill unnecessary services - that’s why reinstalling works install Linux - not reasonable for everyone, but Linux uses far fewer resources delete old files - as disks get full, it takes longer to find somewhere for files to go; try to leave 10-20% free try a small overclock - many older CPUs can give a little more without upgrading cooling; only do it if temps look good Relatively cheap (<$200 each): upgrade drive to NVMe - huge difference if running an HDD, still noticeable of running a SATA SSD add more RAM (only if you’re constantly running out) upgrade CPU - esp if AMD since they release lots of CPUs for the same socket It really depends on what’s making it slow though.
