| Term used to describe a method of setting a computer to perform faster than 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. Also see: Optimize,
