Crosshair
Open CS:GO console (~) and set your crosshair. I use GeT_RiGhT settings - a Swedish professional Counter-Strike series player.

net_graph 1 net_graphpos (1/2/3) changes the position net_graphproportionalfont (0/1) makes the font smaller/bigger net_graphheight (0-1000) makes height of graph move

Results
I was at 30 fps(1920x1080) after clean install Win7 + Nvidia drivers.
I have a solid 70 fps +(1920x1080) and 100 fps - 300 fps(1240x720) now!!!

...I really hope you're joking.

@Clarify but if your fan speed is too loud, this can help u
Melody 10 Dec, 2016 @ 1:44am 
Wether or not your fan speed is too loud has absolutely no effect on performance.. You actually want your fans running at their best, to cool off the system..

@Clarify it can help u with fans sound
Melody 10 Dec, 2016 @ 12:28am
