Your PC Has ProblemsYou Don't Know About
fatcat scans your hardware and finds real issues.
Wrong BIOS, disabled XMP, thermal throttling, CPU vulns.
Then tells you exactly how to fix them.
Running slower than it should?
XMP disabled, wrong PCIe slot, thermal throttling. Silent bottlenecks that cost you 20-40% performance.
Crashing or blue-screening?
BSOD codes, GPU Xid errors, OOM kills, kernel panics. fatcat reads the logs and tells you why.
Is your system actually secure?
Unmitigated CPU vulnerabilities, outdated microcode, missing kernel patches. Exposed and you don't know it.
How it works
Install the lightweight fatcat agent on your Windows or Linux PC.
Run a 30-second hardware scan. CPU, RAM, GPU, storage, motherboard.
Get AI-powered suggestions with step-by-step BIOS instructions.
The Knowledge Engine
An AI is only as smart as its data.
fatcat isn't a generic chatbot guessing. The Context Engine is powered by a living database of community-verified hardware configurations.

Continuous updates
Forum Intelligence
We continuously index solutions from Reddit, Tom’s Hardware, Overclock.net, LinusTechTips, and AnandTech, so you don’t spend hours searching them.
Benchmark Baselines
fatcat knows exactly how your specific CPU and GPU should perform based on aggregated real-world testing, not theoretical maximums.
Cross-Referenced Fixes
When the AI suggests a BIOS tweak, it’s because that specific tweak solved the exact same bottleneck for hundreds of other users with your exact motherboard.
What fatcat finds for you
Bottleneck Detection
Finds hidden performance issues: wrong PCIe slots, single-channel RAM, disabled XMP profiles. One scan, full picture.
AI Optimization
Generates step-by-step BIOS instructions specific to your exact motherboard model. No guessing which menu is which.
Track temps, detect thermal throttling, monitor hardware over time.
BSOD or freezes? Chat with AI that walks you through physical fixes.

What builders are saying
Real feedback from PC enthusiasts and repair technicians.
fatcat found my RTX 4090 was running at PCIe x8. Six months of lost performance I didn't know about.
First build ever. fatcat told me my RAM was in single-channel mode. Fixed it in 2 minutes, got 30% more FPS.
I run a repair shop. fatcat saves me 45 minutes per diagnostic. The shareable reports pay for themselves.
Was thermal throttling without knowing it. fatcat caught it, showed me exactly which fan header to use.
The motherboard diagram is incredible. It's like having X-ray vision for your PC.
Switched from manually checking CPU-Z + HWiNFO + forums. fatcat does it all in one scan.
Why fatcat?
fatcat vs doing it manually with CPU-Z, HWiNFO, and hours of Googling.

What fatcat actually scans
We hate black-box telemetry as much as you do. The agent reads hardware sensors and nothing else.
What we collect
- Motherboard model, BIOS version, chipset
- RAM timings, channels, XMP profile state
- CPU model, boost clocks, temperature history
- GPU model, PCIe link state, VRAM
- SMART attributes, NVMe PCIe generation
- Windows Event codes (BSOD codes, WHEA, Xid)
- Kernel ring buffer on Linux (dmesg errors, OOM, PSI)
What we do NOT collect
- Your personal files or documents
- Browsing history or cookies
- Keystrokes, clipboard, or screenshots
- Running process names beyond top-5 by memory (for OOM context)
- IP addresses beyond what you send to reach fatcat.fit
- Credentials, SSH keys, or saved passwords
- Other hosts on your local network
