Summary
Navigating the BIOS can feel overwhelming, with so many options to consider.
Save the changes and exit the BIOS.
Conversely, reducing the fan speed can prolong its lifespan.

Since Windows lacks built-inoptions to control fan speed, users often turn to third-party software.
If you don’t want to go that route, you might adjust fan speed in BIOS.
Within this section, go to the fan control configs.
you’ve got the option to also manually control the fan curve.
Not all manufacturers include fan control options in their BIOS configs, particularly on laptops.
Desktop computers typically offer more flexibility in fan speed management.
Tomodify the boot order, open BIOS and go to the “Boot” section.
After you’ve made these adjustments, save the changes, exit BIOS, and reboot your box.
You may experience a noticeable improvement in boot time.
These adjustments reduce latency, which makes applications more responsive and snappy.
Within this section, turn off the peripherals that are not in use.
Otherwise, you may encounter problems with any programs that require that hardware to work.
More importantly, disabling something essential will lead to system instability.
Optimize CPU Performance
Most manufacturers, particularly in desktop computers, offer BIOS prefs that can improve CPU performance.
Some manufacturers offer additional features to maximize CPU performance when processing demands increase.
However, these features typically increase power consumption.
Disabling them, if unnecessary, can help reduce power usage.
Conversely, you’re able to enable them if you want better performance.
Adjust the configs according to your requirements.
Once configured, remember to save the changes and exit the BIOS.
These parameters can boost your system’s performance and stability.
But remember, tweaking the BIOS can be risky if you’re not experienced.
Making the wrong changes could even make your machine unbootable.
Only adjust tweaks you’re familiar with and are sure will not cause any problems for your system.
