Use this page to quickly check whether your hardware is a good match for each optimization plan. These are general guidelines, but if you have more questions - please contact us via our live chat.
Ineligible System Configurations (Who's the service NOT suitable for?)
- Laptops of any kind, whether marketed as "gaming laptops" or not, these are all ineligible for our services.
- Desktops with no dedicated graphics card, for example those with AMD/Intel integrated graphics.
- Prebuilt PCs with OEM/unbranded motherboards are ineligible. However, we do accept prebuilts with branded motherboards like MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS and AsRock.
- Older computers, for example an i7-6700K paired with a GTX 980, released nearly 11 years ago. Please upgrade first.
- PCs with major bottlenecks, e.g: Ryzen 7 9800X3D + RTX 2060, in which case - the RTX 2060 is the performance bottleneck.
- If any of the 3 conditions above are met, you will be refunded immediately and the session will not begin. We will also give you advice on what to upgrade before you're eligible to (re)book a session with us in the future.
1. Competitive Plan – Mid-Range+ PCs
Best for systems that have a reasonably complete BIOS/UEFI, without heavy vendor restrictions.
- Modern gaming desktops and laptops with mid-range or better CPUs and GPUs.
- Prebuilt PCs that expose most tuning options (fan curves, memory, power, etc).
- Motherboards that are not heavily locked down or using extremely minimal OEM firmware.
- Perfect for those who want the best performance even on a CPU or motherboard that's locked for overclocking.
➤ Example CPU, GPU & motherboard combinations that qualify for the Competitive plan:
- AMD Ryzen 5 5600, Ryzen 7 5700, Ryzen 9 5900 (or similar) paired with A320, A520, B450 motherboard or better.
- Intel Core i7-12700, i5-13400, i5-14600 (non-K / F-only CPUs) on B660, B760, H610, H770 motherboard or better.
- Any Intel, AMD or NVIDIA graphics card, regardless of age or model.
2. Pro-Level Plan – High-End PCs
This plan is reserved for enthusiast-grade hardware that properly supports manual tuning and overclocking.
- CPUs with unlocked multipliers or special performance SKUs (please see examples below).
- Motherboards based on overclocking-capable chipsets (please see examples below).
- Good quality power delivery and cooling (case airflow, CPU cooler, VRMs and PSU) to help achieve max performance.
➤ Example CPU, GPU & motherboard combinations that qualify for the Pro-Level Performance plan:
- AMD Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 X / X3D series (e.g 7600X / 9800X3D) on B650, B650E, X670, or X670E motherboards.
- Intel Core i5, i7, or i9 “K” / “KF” series (e.g 10600K / 12600KF or better) on Z690 or Z790 motherboards.
- Any dedicated Intel, AMD or NVIDIA graphics card, released between 2015 and 2026, regardless of model.
Quick Evaluation - Not Sure If It Is Worth It?
Quick Evaluation is a paid 15-minute session, priced at 5 EUR, in which an engineer looks over your system and tells you honestly whether optimizing it is worth the money. If it is, the 5 EUR is deducted from the price of the optimization plan you book afterwards, so you pay nothing extra for having asked. If your hardware is not a good candidate, we say so and you have spent 5 EUR instead of the full price.
- 15 minutes, 5 EUR, booked the same way as any other session.
- Best if your system sits near one of the ineligible cases above and you want a straight answer before paying for a full plan.
- Advice only - we do not change any settings during the evaluation.
- The 5 EUR comes off the price of whichever plan you book afterwards.
Custom Optimization Plan Builder
Not sure which preset fits, or want something fully tailored to your setup? Use Custom Optimization, our custom plan builder on framesynclabs.com. Hand-pick exactly the optimizations you want and Custom Optimization automatically calculates your price and session length based on your choices. Available free of charge for any eligible system.
Notes & Exceptions
- If you are unsure which plan your system fits into, use our Custom Optimization plan builder or contact us via live chat, and we can advise you.
- You can upgrade to a higher tier plan within 30 days of booking the Competitive optimization plan.
- If you book the Pro-Level plan and your system is limited, you will be partially refunded if a plan downgrade is necessary.
- We always prioritize stability, safe operating temperatures, and the long-term health of your hardware.
