Overclocking:
Follow this tutorial, and you'll learn about how to overclock, What is overclocking first of all? Overclocking is getting more performance out of your computer components by increasing the clock cycles (amount of instructions done in a human second), which are measured in hz, for example, a 2.4 Gigahertz CPU does 2.4 billion operations or instructions in a single human second, BUT you can push it to 3.0 Ghz if your lucky, and get 3 billion operations a second out of your device. Overclocking however has strict limitations based on what the device is, how much overhead room it has for clocking, cooling, and voltage. If any of these are not right, then lets say for a CPU, your PC will be really unstable, and BSOD (Blue screen of death) rather quickly, requiring a restart, if this happens, lower your overclock, increase voltage slightly, or get better cooling. The stock clock cycles and stock cooling are usually good for most CPU's and GPU's, but when you increase the stock clock cycles you increase the amount of heat that component produces. The cooling that comes along is usually good enough, for most CPU's these days it's just a heatsink and a fan, the heatsink carries the heat from the processor and with the fins, the spaces in between the heatsink (which is usually made of a conductive metal like aluminum or copper) conduct the heat to the air, the air is then carried away as quickly as possible by the fan, thus keeping your Central Processing Unit cool. Overclocking also depends on the current clock rate of the component. For example, you cannot push a Pentium 2 266mhz to 5 Ghz, One reason, is heat of course, the next reason is instability, and the last is current voltage, or how many electrons are getting pushed through the circuit to the component. Instability occurs because the faster anything goes, the more errors it makes, it's just like when you try to do something faster and faster, you lose accuracy. Voltage, lets explain that, Now every component in your computer needs power of course, and voltage is what is pushing that energy, those electrons to those devices. You multiply voltage times current and you get power. But for now, lets explain why voltage is so important. A component, like a CPU at stock clocks, needs a certain amount of voltage in order to work, lets say just 1 volt, and it's at stock clocks, or lets just say 800 megahertz (millions of instructions per second). Now, lets say you could push it to 1 gigahertz per second just fine, but at 1.05 it gets unstable. Why does it do that? Well lets say you have perfect cooling and all is well, it's one teeny little thing, voltage, the component doesn't have enough juice to get where it's going, it's like how you need food to run, and with less of it you have less energy and therefore you do stuff slower. That's what this is like. But before you crank the voltage up 5 times, remember that increasing voltage has a quadratic increase in temperature, so if you double your voltage, it'll be 4 times as hot, plus the overclocking, But you can't do that anyways because if you increase the voltage too much you'll fry it. So lets say you increase the voltage another .25 volts, and afterward you can go to 1.10 Ghz just fine, see, you gave it what it needed to go that extra inch or two. You can modify these types of settings in your Bios, you know, when your computer starts and it says hit this key to go into bios, setup, options or whatever it may call it, and if you don't it just loads up windows or linux or whatever you might be using. These rules apply for video cards and ram. Except ram doesn't have any fans usually, just heatsinks, you can also modify timings but I don't exacty know much about that yet. A video card, which contains a GPU, or a graphics processing unit does all the graphics processing for your computer as your central processing unit executes all the instructions needed to make your computer go, A video card runs much hotter than a CPU, and even has it's own RAM or Random Access Memory, That also has a clock, and whatever has a clock attached to it you can OVER-Clock, now... you can increase the voltage of that too in your BIOS if your motherboard supports it, but otherwise you can overclock it using the utilities I've provided, and follow the instructions to use them.
