►The How you can support the Channel Section◄
I recently purchased this Hydro Cooler from Corsair.
↦ http://amzn.to/2k8jJAV ↤
It allowed me to overclock my K series processor. I saw a 15 FPS boost, with a 10 degree C drop in temperatures. Careful, make sure it can fit in your machine, but I am so happy with the cost vs. performance gain. There are some less expensive models, that probably aren't as big, but will still net you a big performance gain!

►Community Performance Tips and Tricks◄
►If you're on a system with limited threads (i5 or mobile sort of i7), setting the minimum processor state to 100% can make a big difference.
►Google: Disable Cortana (saves over 50% of her take of CPU use or more)
►Listen to fans, if they are powering up faster than normal during a session, get a low power vacuum to suck crap out of them.
►As an alternative to setting planetside as a priority manually every time it starts, you can get ProcessLasso which auto-does it for you every time planetside starts and you can also set other priorities like IO, etc

►Why don't you always overlay what weapons you are using?◄
Sometimes people see an epic kill streak, and they want to buy that weapon because they think it will grant them that epic-ness. But it it's never the weapon, always the user. A lot of weapons you see me use, I actually dislike, but I want to get them Auraxiumed. So I don't want people to see a weapon I used, get all excited about my kill streak, then go buy the weapon, and find out it is disappointing. If you really gotta know the weapon, feel free to ask in the comments.
