| Term used to describe a method of setting a computer to perform
faster then its advertised speed by setting or changing jumpers, dipswitches,
CMOS or software. Overclocking allows
users to get a small increase (sometimes large) in performance boost and is
commonly performed on CPUs
and/or Video cards.
It is recommended that overclocking be performed only by advanced computer users
or users aware of its risks. When overclocking a computer it is
possible for the computer to experience random errors or lockups
related to heat. It will void your warranty on the hardware device and
possibly the computer and/or motherboard. Finally, overclocking can
sometimes damage and even destroy computer components.
