Overclocking

Overclocking is the process of increasing a computer component’s operational speed beyond its factory-set limits, typically focusing on the CPU or GPU. By doing so, the component performs tasks faster, which can enhance overall system performance, especially in demanding applications like gaming or video editing. However, overclocking generates more heat and requires better cooling solutions, and if done improperly, it can lead to system instability or damage. It’s a way to boost performance through careful adjustments, but it involves balancing higher speeds with adequate cooling and stability considerations.
