Overclocking is the process of forcing a computer component to run at a higher clock rate than designed or designated by the manufacturer.
Overclocking is usually practiced by PC enthusiasts in order to increase the performance of their computers. Some hardware enthusiasts purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock, thereby attaining performance of a high-end system, while others will overclock high-end components, attaining levels of performance that surpass the performance of the newest generation of computer hardware.
Commonly overclocked components include: processors, video cards, motherboard chipsets, and RAM.

have you ever seen a chip literally burn up before your eyes ? .....
it's a cool and fun and geeky thing to do .... but clockspeeds are there for a reason eh ..... you can get bit errors easily with some of the chips .... (not to mention over heat eh ... ) ....
but of course, there'll still be ti kee people out there who'll do it ....
all i can say is .... make sure your cooling's up to it eh .... a pentium chip can get as hot as a clothes iron ... -
It reduces lifespan of the overclocked component as well...
Nvr tried it. Don't have the money to buy new hardware if anything happens -
don't clock more than 20% or else see the thing melt before your very eyes.

It's nothing lah. You never see those who use liquid nitrogen to cool down. It can get really hot if you intend to overclock. Especially those over 15%.Originally posted by Master -_-:i seen my friend overclock his pc... he needed 5 fans sia
