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.
