EveryRig keeps changes modest, has hard voltage limits, backs off when hot and always returns to stock when a game closes or the app exits. A crash means the PC restarts at stock. Overclocking is still at your own risk and can affect your warranty - start low, move up one stage at a time and watch your temperatures.

It doesn't touch game files or memory - it sets the graphics driver and CPU the same way the NVIDIA / AMD apps and Intel XTU do. For games with strict anti-cheat there's a 'hands-off' stage that changes nothing for that game.

Until the app has a code-signing certificate and some download history, Windows SmartScreen shows 'Windows protected your PC'. Click More info → Run anyway.

Only what's needed: your license key and a machine code (a scrambled ID, not a serial number) when activating, the app version when checking for updates, and a bug report if you send one. See the privacy page.

EveryRig pauses: it stops tuning and your graphics card and CPU stay at their normal stock settings. Buy EveryRig Pro once and enter the key to switch everything back on - your games and settings are kept.

Yes - it was built on a VR sim rig. Frame-rate measuring can't see VR games that draw straight into the headset runtime; use your headset tool's overlay for those.
