| | Overclocking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | Whilst an overclocked computer may seem stable to the user, and may pass certain tests, the computer may process data incorrectly. |

| | Overclocking - An Overview |
| | For example, the 5x86 was the basis of a lot of overclocking fun, because you could increase the front side bus speed from 33 MHz to 50 MHz and reduce the multiplier to 3.0x and thus get a 150 MHz processor. | | | Pentium II processors got to be routinely remarked, and end users were inadvertently sold higher speed computers that were really overclocked to be that way. | | | The practice received a mighty boost with Intel's release of the Celeron processor, especially the famous Celeron A (famous for its overclockability). |

| | Understanding CPU Overclocking |
| | By far the easiest way to overclock a CPU is to raise the multiplier, but this cannot be done all all systems. | | | For example, a computer with an Intel Pentium III processor running at 933MHz could be configured to run at speeds equivalent to a Pentium III 1050MHz processor by increasing the bus speed on the motherboard. | | | To overclock your CPU you must be quite familiar with hardware, and it is always a procedure conducted at your own risk. |

| | Overclocking a graphics card involves increasing the frequency at which particular video components perform their functions. | | | And just like a computer system, the components on a video card can be "overclocked" to increase performance. | | | For example if you have a new ATI X800 graphics card and a 1.6Ghz CPU, overclocking the graphics card really won't improve performance dramatically since the CPU is the bottleneck. |

| | The reason for this, and the reason for the difficulties with overclocking using the FSB, is that by increasing the clock rate on the PCI bus you may make your PCI devices unstable, which will cause your machine to crash. | | | However, to overclock by 10-20MHz, or less if you have stability problems, you must understand the impact on your PCI devices and memory. | | | You can typically overclock the FSB by anything up to about 5-10 MHz without understanding anything about the ramifications on the rest of your system. |
