overclocking if you've never heard of it before is the Dark Art of forcing your
0:04
electronics to perform better than the manufacturer intended your computer CPU
0:09
tablet phone and any other modern Computing devices you might own have
0:12
processors inside them that all have something in common their performance is
0:16
dictated by the design or architecture and the number of cycles that they can
0:22
perform per second which is usually represented as frequency or clock speed
0:27
so that is where the term overclocking comes from you're taking the clock speed
0:31
and turning it up over the manufacturer's recommendation to get
0:34
more performance now as I said before clock speed is not the only Factor so
0:39
it's not like you can overclock a calculator to perform as well as a
0:42
gaming PC with that said you can make the calculator faster relative to its
0:47
original state so how do you do it well first you have to decide if you actually
0:51
want to overclocking often requires other aspects of your device to be run
0:56
outside of specifications what will happen is your device will become
1:00
unstable as you turn up the speed you can compensate by turning up voltage but
1:05
that can cause additional power consumption and more heat output
1:09
seasoned overclockers will have experience with anything from large heat
1:12
sinks with fans for cooling to liquid cooling or even more exotic Sub-Zero
1:17
cooling if they're trying to get maximum performance More Voltage also increases
1:21
the risk of failure so for this reason many manufacturers will actually refuse
1:26
outright to provide warranty service on overclocked electronics
1:30
still want to do it you're not alone lots of people are willing to make these
1:34
tradeoffs that I just mentioned for more performance there are comprehensive
1:39
guides that exist for overclocking pretty much any device that would benefit from it many Android phones can
1:44
be overclocked with a simple app download and PC overclocking is a very
1:48
popular Pastime with Gamers video editors or anyone else who needs more
