Overclocking a computer's CPU is a free way to get more speed and performance out of your PC.

Feb. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Overclocking a computer's CPU is a free way to get more speed and performance out of your PC. By default, CPU processor manufacturers Intel and AMD put a cap on the processors that they sell. This cap is mainly designed for safety, and is there for good reason. Without limiting a processor's clock speed (or core speed), the CPU will get extremely hot, overheat, and burn up. Obviously, this would lead to your computer not functioning. The thing is, Intel and AMD set this cap conservatively low. Meaning that the majority of CPUs out there very well could be faster than they are, and still be running at perfectly safe temperatures. This is where overclocking comes into play.

Overclocking a CPU processor involves adjusting certain variables, lifting restrictions, and raising limits. By doing so, a processor will run with a higher clock speed, which amounts to faster computing. The heavy majority of motherboards have built-in temperature regulators that will automatically shut down a computer, crash the operating system, and not allow it to run, should the CPU temperature get too high. This is actually a benefit, as it allows you to push the limits of the CPU without damaging any computer components or hardware.

Overclocking FAQ

   * Q: Can my computer's CPU be overclocked?
   * A: In most cases yes, the CPU is capable of being overclocked. The thing that prevents people from being able to overclock their processors is the motherboard. Companies like Dell, HP, and Gateway incorporate their own BIOS into the computers they sell. This is why you see a Dell, HP, or Gateway logo each time you power up your computer. The BIOS controls the functionality of the motherboard, and most computer manufacturers simply do not include sufficient options in the factory BIOS settings for overclocking. Your CPU can be overclocked, but your motherboard may not allow it.

   * Q: If I build my own custom PC can I overclock the CPU?
   * A: 95% of the time you can. This is why many computer gurus and PC gamers choose to build their own PCs, so that they can hand pick each component of the PC, do hardware customizations, and even overclock CPUs to get max performance.

   * Q: Can RAM memory be overclocked?
   * A: Yes, RAM memory can be overclocked and set to higher speeds, but the majority of the time it is not needed. RAM works a bit differently than CPU overclocking. For example, you may purchase a motherboard that is capable of running the fastest RAM available. However, the RAM will not work by simple plug and play. Instead, you may need to configure your motherboard settings, and overclock the RAM to meet compatibility standards.
