Tweaks That Don't Work


This may be the subject of some discord, but a great community service would be to help others not waste money on snake oil.

Please let us know what you've tried that had no impact - or negative impact, even - on your system. Also, if there are tweaks or products that are only useful on some systems for whatever reason, please let us know what kinds of systems do and don't benefit from the particular products.

Some of you out there have tremendous experience trying to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of your equipment and probably have a laundry list for us - let's hear it!

Like several other posters, I've had a variety of PC's that didn't do anything or even worse, had a negative affect. I have some now that I like but only after doing the DIY thing for a few years.

The other tweak that at first I thought made a huge improvement was the audiophile price tag tweak. At first I thought the difference was huge but it turned out to be just something in my head.

Maybe I didn't give it enough time to completely break in & of course when I replaced some gear, I didn't modify the tag to reflect the change.
